ALL the things i couldn't say

do you believe in love yet?

i craved the touch of another person so badly
that i convinced myself that you loved me.

and you craved the love and body of another person so badly
that you convinced me that you loved me, too.

but in reality, we were just two touch-starved kids
desperate to be in love
the way we saw on television

just to prove to ourselves
that love does exist
even when we've never had any reason to believe
that it does.
