He stood about 6'4
But she didn't care
His hands were too big
But she didn't let it scare her
His face looked real mean even if he didn't mean for it to
But that didn't bother her
What scared her
Was how quickly he became cruel
How easy it was for him to forget her
When they were carved from the same rotting wood
What bothered her
Was how careless his jokes could be
How condescending his voice could turn
What frightened her
Was that they were supposed to love each other
And couldn't even sit in the car alone without feeling like strangers to each other
