I'm awful at love ( Read more... )

You're asleep on the couch ( Read more... )

I didn't write the book of love ( Read more... )

We've never lived together
We've never spent the night in the same bed
Never cooked in the same tiny kitchen
Argued about bills

You're the sea side town
I go to on vacation
I love the landscape
But don't pay taxes

I bask in your sunlight
But don't see the winter storms

I'm going to get a thesaurus
And highlight every word
That describes the way I love you

I love you...
Franticly
Soberly
Thoroughly
Guiltily
Enthusiastically and
Painfully

Pages full of color
Still only scratches the surface

I want to learn another language
So I can express how you make me feel

German, with their absurdly long words
Or French with their poetic turns of phrase

I can use other people's art
The Book of Love
And
Sonnet 17
Quotes from Rollins and Parker

I try to crack myself open
And show you inside
It's not enough
I always leave myself places to hide

The show is over
The night is over
My bed is waiting
And so is yours
But still I wait
Running my hands through your hair
And letting myself feel this
I tip my head back so the tears won't fall
Take a deep breath
Pretend I'm fine
Wake you and send you off to bed
You keep calling me back
You don't want me to leave
I have to leave
In the end I always

You're convinced everyone must like me ( Read more... )
