July 2014

let's get drunk off that whiskey in your cabinet

and pitch a tent somewhere and spend the night

and get an apartment after high school

and buy a dog

and get matching tattoos

and adopt animals from shelters

and get high and listen to music

and spend a day just driving around

and play gta 5 together

and watch south park

and breaking bad

and game of thrones

and orange is the new black

and get bdubs

why do you captivate me so?

the hold you have on me is frightening

because i have commitment issues

and i'm a realist

who knows the odds of us making it past high school

and i know my own capacity to inflict harm

and even after these years

it still is terrifying to let someone in

but even with my fear

your arms are the best home i know

and i love how far down you bend to kiss me

and i love giving you suffocating hugs

and i love how damn tall you are

and i love how you snore

and i love how nice you are when i don't deserve it

and i love how stupid we can be together

and i love your surprising green eyes

and i love your curly hair somewhere between short and long

and i love our similar tastes in music

and i love your kisses that never have any tongue

and i love wrapping my legs around yours when we're laying down

and i love your tempurpedic pillow

and i love when you slither your arms up my shirt and softly stroke my back

and i love when you run your fingers through my hair

and i love yelling at you for making my hair frizzy when you run your fingers through it

and i love when you tickle me

and i love how when i'm upset you just hold me

and i love your family (including jeffrey)

and i love you
