love: a ticking time bomb?


"what makes you tick?" 

 

that feeling of constantly giving everything that you have

every fiber of your being, to someone:

my heart, my soul. even a little bit of my dignity.

 

do you know that i've lied to my mother,

MY MOTHER

for you?

and I hate lying.

 

but I did it because i liked you, and I cared. I wanted you to know that I was in this.

 

please realize that i'm giving you everything I've got babe

and that I want it...I want it returned. 

 

 

and do you know what else makes me tick?

if you ever call me a bitch, I will make sure that you regret the first time you EVER laid eyes on me. 

 

understand?
