love, cuts

A sharp sting.
A very quick one that would happen within just a second.
One that would grow deeper each time I looked at you and did something foolish.
Something foolish like touching you, kissing you, or even voicing out my love for you.
It would appear as a reminder.
As a way to tell me, "you can never have this."
"You can never have this and you never will."
