Lover's Thoughts {Ana Cristina's Challenge}

I’ve been awake for a while now. Whenever I’m around you, I feel like a little kid, I’m so in love. But I can’t sleep knowing you don’t feel the same. I wish…I wish I could give you a magic potion to make you fall in love with me the way I’m in love with you. See, there: I’m a little kid again.You’re terrible for me, and I love it. That day you carried me in from beach to our hotel because it was raining? That was when I first felt it: the first stirrings of deep, light, beautiful, terrible love. And I knew you didn’t feel the same way. You won’t ever. But I can’t get away from you, I love you so much. If only you had any idea…

Now that you’re tucking me in (like a little kid), I know I’ll fall asleep, true love or no. In your arms, the world is safe and I can pretend whatever I want. And that’s when I lose all my control, my self-resistance I’ve tried so many times to build up against you. But I can’t, I just….No matter where you go or what you do, I’ll always love you. There, I said it.

I love you.
