I wish you got in your car
Sped here
Met me in my driveway
Despite my own fears.
I wish I could have held you longer
Felt your arms wrapped around me
Just a minute more.
I wish you kissed me.
But I would have caved.
If you came here,
I would have given way,
Knees buckled,
At the sight of you.
They almost did in that damn parking lot, too.
They say I tend to rush into everything
Too quick
Too fast
Too easily in love.
Intensity is the only form of love I've ever known
The only one I know, still.
I thought I wanted the world when you offered it ,
What an idiot I was for not realizing I only needed you.
Your arms are the only thing that feels right.
Your body next to mine at night.
Your snoring keeping me awake.
I don't want something that isn't these things.
All I want is YOU.
Why can't this fucking work?
Why can't we fucking make this work?
How can we love each other so much
And it not fucking matter anyways.
It's supposed to matter.
Love is supposed to win.
