a girl who writes

I could spend all night
tangled up in your arms
while you taste the wine on my lips
our tongues dancing
and we talk
about nothing and everything
and explore every inch of
each other
until the sun comes up

I knew they weren’t right for me
I knew one day
I would probably break their heart
but with you…

I don’t know how
you broke down these walls
so quickly.

I didn’t think I could feel like this,
safe,
secure,
and trusting.

When I believed there couldn’t be
something deeper,
something more meaningful,
you planted a seed
deep in my heart and
something sprouted.

words come slower
when happiness runs higher
it’s a sweet place to be

take my hand
I am going to take you
somewhere you’ve never been
and you will feel things
you’ve never felt

when the wine flows through me
the things I’m too afraid to say
I start saying

words and thoughts and fears
constantly
swirling in my mind
but when my head is lying
on your chest
and your arms are wrapped
around me
there is nothing
but calm and love

Do all relationships end like that?

I am sorry I hurt you
I didn’t know what I was doing
I was still learning
about dating
relationships
and myself
I made bad decisions
because of fear
and attention
I broke your heart
for that I am sorry
I hope you are happier
now that some time has passed
maybe one day
we could be friends

I didn’t know I could feel like this again
I thought I’d lost that giddy hope
the swirling butterflies
daydreams of a life together
you make me feel safe
taken care of
secure
you brought back a piece of me
broken by another
