Lover

lover, why are you so nice?

please be patient with me

i’m sorry for being so shy

i didn’t know how it all works.

i’ve never let myself be happy

something just never felt right

maybe we’re all destined to be lonely

i can’t even put these words together.

life is messy, as am I

i can sharpen a spoon and turn it into a knife

but i can never stop staring into your eyes

i want you here, holding my hand.

i want you to stay, please take my heart

please, never leave

for all i know, the last leaf falls

when you no longer need me.

t.l.

everything is temporary

but please don’t take her away from me
