I was always scared of love. Of letting you back in.
I got over it.
I didn't want to let you go, ever.
Now I'm here, stroking your hair. Our hands intertwined. Our legs a tangled mess. I stroke my thumb over your hand and look up at you.
I see your tired eyes meet mine.
"I love you" I say watching his smile from.
"I love you more" you say.
But in that moment, it was me who loved you more.
