Tattooed Thoughts

fifteen

"I wanna kiss you," you whispered,

my breath haltered as I ask tempted.

"Where?"

Your eyes locked into mine before you answered,

"Your scars... I wanna kiss each and every single one of them."

"But why...?" I questioned as you paused.

Staring into my gaze,

smiling you responded.

"Because I've already kissed your lips

when I confessed that I liked you.

Now I wanna trace and kiss all of your scars,

so that I can declare how much I've fallen for you..."

I haltered for a moment, overwhelmed

while having no time to react.

You carried on saying...

"Because deeper than your tattooed scars,

stronger than your inflicted pain.

I love you.

I wanna be the one to give you

a hundred thousand reasons

to your a thousand conflictions.

Let's this be the story of our because,

because we are phenomenally rare and

because the only thing that'll last longer than your scars,

will be my love for you.

Only if you'll let me imprint that into your flaws."

-our story of because.
