One by one
The first was touchy, hands on
I let it be thinking love was just physical
We made up pictures in the clouds on recess summer days
I was curious
Then he came along
We spoke no words, just fingers that typed at 2am
I blame him for the permenate destrustion
But is it really his fault?
I couldnt aee it then
As a kid I ignored it
I felt family, friendship
I was wrong
I was nervous
It lasted about half a second
My eyes watered, my hands wrapped around his neck to hide the expression on my face
He wanted more
I dont know how to say no
His lips were dry like desserts Ive never seen
He played too much
But inviting me in, "this is my girlfriend"
then i wish i was see thru
How i wnated to disaper
March break, i forgot all about him
I felt akward
He was 6 feet tall and wanted ro rake what im holding onto
I was looking for feelings
Havent been properly loved I was crying out
He left
I watched him inhale flavoured water, after he kissed me like he knew me
Again and again and again
What a fairytale I lived in
They werent love
Though I repeated the words I love you like the breath i intake
One I blame the other i hate
I think of all the 10:00 meet ups
Hours spent texting and home visits
All hugs, kisses, tears and blood shed not forgotten but left behind
Just because i wnated to feel
Something, anything
I wnat to say hello to love
Welcome it, invite it in and thats him
Hes different
A artist while im the blank canvas he tries to paint
I say hello and he responds
He is real and mellow
He comforts me
He is the outcome out of all
