Scintilla

Semi Love [CE]

I won't be the last
To look into your eyes.
I won't be the last
To see past your disguise.

You're weak; you're scared
You've never felt so much like no one cared
Your innocent firsts have been stolen
But your story doesn't end here; it's just a semi colon.

No, I'm sorry, I can't be your savior
Not when my own heart is at a constant waver
Walk away now; do it for you
Do it for him, the one you'll meet in the future, too.

I'm sorry I'm stupid; I didn't mean to pour salt on your wounds
If anything, I wanted to heal them, but now I'm frozen as I watch shining tears bloom.
Please forgive me, now or in the future
For I really did mean to be your sutures.

{In which a male apologizes for breaking up with her, despite loving her. He finds that he sees too much of him in her, which is why he had originally became interested in her, only to discover that he would treasure her not as a lover. As he sees a reflection of himself in her broken eyes, he mends her and finds acceptance in himself by loving her. However, love comes in many forms and theirs do not match. His love will never be more than what is similar to the love of a close friend or family member, while hers... She doesn't know right now.}
