It's You, And It's A Bad IdeaA Story by Katie MarieI tell myself every time that it's a bad idea; the worst idea. And if I do it, there's no coming back. Not literally, of course. I'll come back; I'll walk back through those doors, limp, shake, and I'll ask for a lighter or reach for my own, and you'll all think I'm happy as I take another sip or open another can. That's not the coming back I'm talking about. I could still walk and I could still talk but my mind, oh my mind would never be the same. I will look at you; the way you sip your fizzing drink and the way you smoke your cigarettes, from pulling it from the pack, placing it between your lips and lighting it. I will watch every drag and pay attention to every movement of your lips. I will think and I will beg for your lips again, another turn and another taste. But you keep that cigarette instead of me, and I think about how it probably all meant more to me than it did you. I tell myself every time that it's a bad idea but then I see your eyes, settled upon my lips, and I feel your hand creep upon my leg and I forget about all the things you said and did. How you'd kiss me one night, all night and in the morning pretend like it's nothing, and every morning after that. I forget about how everyday I think about the way you look, kiss and touch. I forget all of it, to fall into the moment, despite knowing the treachery it causes me. I tell myself every time that it's a bad idea, so does every body else. And yet I never listen, to either them or myself and I fall for you every night. I told myself this last night, and with their eyes they told me too but there was something different. Something different about all of it; my bed and your hand creeping up my leg. And then all of it, your hands, your kisses, your words. It was different this time and I know it, I'm not just exaggerating the truth but because it's you, I still find myself saying it's a bad idea. © 2013 Katie MarieAuthor's Note
