Some days, I want to swallow

stacks of your pictures, just so that

you can be a part of me for a

little while longer. I want you to 

bite my lip until I can no longer

speak, and then suck my ex-lovers'

names from my mouth, just to make

sure that they never come up in

our conversations. I want to touch

you until your skin sings songs

that your lips don't know the words

to, until your heartbeat sounds

like my name, until you smile like 

the stars. 

I want to spend forever drowning

in the light that lives inside you. 

I want to be a stuntman for all the 

people who made you feel like you 

weren't enough. I want to do 

everything that they never had the

courage to do, lke trust you

and believe in you

and defend you

and love you

in all the ways you deserve. 

I want to do these things for you, 

with you, for the rest of my life. 

- a.t.
