I wonder if every girl leaving an abusive relationship feels weird when a gentleman holds her hand so soft
When he calls her beautiful as if it were her name
When he says "I love you" not because him saying it is the only reason she is staying
But simply because he means it
It does not have to be a special occasion for a man to open your door
It does not have to be a special occasion for a man to tell you how much he adores you
But man it feels weird
Love used to be a first grip and the words just let it happen
Love now means a soft touch and the words I'll never let that happen again
Love is not supposed to leave you broken
Gasping for air
Love is supposed to be the air that fills your lungs after you have been drowning for so long and I
Can finally breathe
Love left
But love came back so quickly
And I think
I like it better this way
