Letters To My Love #Wattys2016

Letter Ten

Dear Love,

The world is back at it again

shooting their guns

and then putting their blame on others.

I know that you and I 

will change the world someday

but now we have to suffer through it.

I love you so much

and I say it so often

but in the world that we live in 

we never know if it will be for the last time.

The torment of letting cliches

take over my life

and tell me what to do

had become a painful reality,

I was held against a locker,

or should I say,

pushed and blocked off 

by one of the fuck boys in our grade,

and he wanted to make sure

that I realized

he was the only person I would be lucky to get.

When you stride up to me

and slung your arm around my hips

he left me alone.

Whenever you saw him by me,

you would do it.

I thought it was all for show

until

one day when the boy had my hands 

and was leaning in for something more than a threat

and you swooped in and kissed me.

He never bothered me again

and I should say thank you

and I will.

Thank you.

But did you really mean it?

that kiss,

it was fire on my lips

and sent a shiver down my spine

the world melted away

until it was you and I

The shock

I thought would push us apart 

but it only brought us closer. 

I don't know if it was supposed to be for show

or because you meant it,

but I assure you it meant something to me.
