Don't Trust The Boy

Don't trust the boy with pretty eyes and soft hands. The boy that does card tricks to try to impress you. Who's soft hands gripped your waist in the best way as you straddled him in his front seat. Don't trust the boy who seems like the best choice for you. The boy who shook your sister's hand on your first date. The boy who's eyes write a book of their own. Who's lips felt like your first sip of water after a week in the desert. Don't trust the boy who told you that you're the type that people write books about. The boy who looked like summer walks and pure airThe boy who reminded you of sweet chai lattes and homemade Christmas cookiesDon't trust the boy with pretty eyes and soft hands.
