Magic
It's almost like magic really
how one look into her eyes can fill something in me I didn't know was empty
how her touch reaches much deeper than my skin
how her voice hypnotizes me, aching to hear the music of her voice
because I love her
how her smile can't possibly be from this universe
how her freckles were designed to make my heart stop
how when we kiss, our souls dance
because she loves me
how she doesn't want me to spend time with my friends
how she wants to watch movies in her basement instead
how when I ask her why I can't see them, she says
"because, don't you love me?"
how I let her search through my phone. every. time. I. see. her.
how I let her run my social life
how I can't complain about any of this
because I love her. right?
how she's allowed to hit me because I'm the guy
how she can decide my future
how I'm not allowed to like certain things
because...
how I tell her I'm not happy
how I tell her maybe we should take a break
how she can turn me into the bad guy
because I'm supposed to love her
how her kiss feels like torture
how I think we should go our separate ways
how when she asks why I respond
"because, don't you love me?"
how without her I can be myself again
how I no longer need her to feel complete
how I can finally be happy again
because I love me
just like magic right?
