You used to be mine, once. More than once. Could have been again. We both know what I’m like. This push and pull, dancing around each other. You should have stayed mine.
But now she’s here.
You’re right there, but I find myself missing you constantly.
Your voice. That’s something I forgot to mention.
Smooth and powerful. The purr of a panther, anticipation’s chime. You speak and I hear something calling me; heaven, darkness, I don’t care which. One word, and I lose track of myself.
I forget this awful place we’ve found ourselves in.
You do. But it’s not enough.
I need more. I need you in my arms, I need my hands in your hair, I need the sound of your voice.
I need our lives intertwined.
It turns out I was asking the wrong question.

There’s no other words that matter. This time.
There’s an air of mystery to you that I’ve never quite gotten through. Understanding people is the game I’m in, always has been. You defy understanding. I can’t predict a single move you’ll make.
Talking to you is like a dance.
Most people can be divided neatly into certain categories. Predictable. Dismissable. You, though, you. You’re unique in all the world.
You’ve written your name across my heart. I can’t escape.
and believe me how ive tried ive tried ive tried
If I told you, you wouldn’t read them.
If you knew.
if you knew.
We can’t have that, now can we?
I could write a thousand sonnets about you and they’d put the rest to shame. Would you read them, if I did?
You’re a contradiction; a light in the dark. If a star fell from the sky, I wonder if it could match you?
Part of me wants to find out.
On the other side of clouded glass things aren’t supposed to shine as clear as you do. Something in the way you talk, the way you think, is like a beacon dragging me in.
You’re too easy to tune in to.
The depth of your eyes is like looking into a field of molten gold; intoxicating and terrifying all in one.
You look the way silk feels. Your every move, every glance, chills me to the core and lights my skin on fire.
