i finally let someone in
he was everything i wanted
the connection was insane
he came on strong
it was scary
the drugs we toke in the park made my heart beat faster as we talked about ourselves and our world around us
and kissed when we felt it rushing in our system
i remember you asking me if it was the drugs or if i wanted to kiss you
i wanted to
i believe him when he said he liked me
he knew what words to use to bring me to another level
to euphoria land
we would fight like we knew each other forever
when it hasn't even been a week
you made me confused
i didn’t know what i felt
maybe i liked you
maybe i hated you
what's going on
is what was racing through my mind
you made me smile like a little girl
with the poetic words that slip from your perfect lips
that night
you kept telling me that you wanted to see me
i was under the influence i just couldn't say no cause i wanted to see you too
i wanted you
i came over
like you told me to do
you showing me baby photos from an old scrapbook and played me guitar
like the handsome asshole you are
we ended up in your sheets
with our bodies intertwined
sweat and passion made me feel alive
we laid together naked
eye to eye
chest to chest
skin to skin
i can feel your heart beating
beating at the same pace as mine
my mind reminded me that i was getting a little to close for comfort
i got up and put my clothes back on
i walked around your room looking at all the cool shit that was in it
and questioned you about different little knickknacks laying around as the light slightly started to peak trough the window into the room from the rising of the sun
i picked up my polaroid camera and began taking pictures of you shirtless in bed with your guitar in hand
it felt like a perfect moment from a movie
like nothing was real
and this was all the sweet dream
we talked for hours and you walked me to where i was going
i felt happy
i finally felt happy for once
and after that early morning bus ride home
everything went completely downhill
like a beautiful nightmare
we started to get into fights and things got awkward
my friends were telling me i deserve better then you
and at that point i seen the ugly side of you and i agreed
i didn't want to see you anymore
i'm pretty sure you used me to get over your ex
but who cares you were still better then the rest
we called each other the worst things we can fathom in our twisted minds
we both were hurt in one way or another
i swore to myself that i would never talked to you again
but here i am still thinking of you
months went by and i still want you
my mind is telling me no
but my stupid heart is telling me yes
and it sucks
