My Bad Habit

I am addicted to you
Your words linger in the air
As if they are smoke
Smoke I need to inhale

I am addicted to you
You know it yourself
You say I crave your presence
And you are telling the truth

But you are such a bad habit
I need to break this addiction
To save myself
But I love you too much to leave now

You are more of a dealer
You give me what I want
And you disappear for a while
But I'm back at your feet when you return

I'm loyal
Loyal to you and your smell
Your smell that never leaves the seats of my car
Your smell that I wish I could breathe in daily

You told me that the way I talk to you
Is as if your words are drugs
Drugs to feed my addiction
To feed my never ending craving for you

You are such a bad habit
I need to break away from you
For my own health
For my own sanity

But there is a very fine line
Between love and addiction
And you cross that line every time
I am addicted and in love with you

Bad habits aren't always so bad
Right?
