Intoxicated

I've tried to end my relationship with you twice

Because I was scared.

Being in love is sort of a new thing for me,

And when things feel good for a while,

I think "how long?"

How long until the numbness comes back, coursing through my veins?

My parents don't approve of you. 

They say you don't support me.

What they don't know

Is a simple text from you,

A hug from you,

A kiss from you,

Keeps the numbness at bay so that I am able to feel--

And I think that is a beautiful thing.

I'm intoxicated by you.

I cannot seem to get you out of my body:

Whether it be in my heart or on my mind.

Maybe that's why I decide to keep going.

To feel.
