Opposites Attract

Please Don't Cry

Annabella
I could sense it
The desperation
The want
The need to feel me
And I wanted him
But not like this
I put one finger to his lips
His eyes opened
And I wished I didn't have to see
Those beautiful eyes
That glistened
With sadness
And intoxication
I wished I could taste it too
Taste the boy
Feel the storm that
Brewed behind his eyes
The man
Who always seemed
To want to save me
But couldn't save himself
I could feel my heart ache
To comfort his
And yet my head throbbed
At the thought of a green
Eyed boy
That was flawed and beautiful
Who put flowers on my fathers grave
And gently caresses my face
And knows me
Knows when to sing a song with me
And knows when I need to sing it
By myself
Jonathan
Oh the boy who gave me hope
His shoulders slumped
As he reached instead for my hands
I held his in mine
Running my thumb across
The back of his hand
Soothing him
Soothing us
Connecting us in that moment
To comfort our broken hearts
That continued to beat
In their fractured conditions
My phone vibrated then
And I looked into my eyes
That were reflecting back to me in his
"Jonathan you can't be in love with me. You don't know what love is, you don't know who I am."
He glanced at me and kissed my cheek
"I know you" he said
"Your the girl that plays with her bracelet
while her eyes are blank
The girl that hides behind her hair
covering her beautiful hazel eyes
your the girl that scrunches her nose
when she laughs
The girl that smells like lavender
The girl that hums Pierce the Veil songs
Amid the silence
You make me worry
Make me angry
Confused
Happy
The girl I want to hold
The girl that makes me say corny shit
Like you have my heart
And I don't know how you got it
I just know it's yours now
And I don't want it back
These aren't just words to me
Your not just a girl to me
And I need you to see that
I need you to see me"
I didn't have words for him
All the emotion I could muster
Was stuck inside my head
And I didn't know what to choose my head or my heart
I screamed in my mind
As tears rolled down my cheeks
And he gently wiped the
Salty tears away from my eyes
"Please don't cry"
He said
I couldn't help it then
My lips met his
And his lips were so soft
His mouth moved against mine
So gently
So musically
Like we were creating a new harmony
But I could taste the sweet intoxication
On his tongue
And I could only hope
That when the fog cleared
He could face me
And once my tears cleared
maybe I could face him too
