a love story


the first night you lent me your jacket

we shared a taco,

and later a kiss

 

next time i was sick

our bodies intertwined

and then so did our lips

 

that's when i fell

 

we drank a few sips

and then the secrets slipped

you held me as i began to shake

 

you slept on the floor,

and i knew there was more

 

things began to happen

and hearts began to open

 

then your phone broke

along with some hope

 

everything was left sketchy

and all was unsaid

 

now i'm alone

these thoughts and feelings jumble and moan

 

you're not here

so nothing can be shared

 

with fear in my heart

i spread myself thin

feeling like i have no where to begin

 

you guide me along the way

holding my hand

and even my heart

 

it was a rough path

with some bumps and some tears

 

as for today

i have you to hold

and i could never ask for anything more
