wild things
#2 // 22 March 2015

i thought twice, i thought thrice before i sent you "hi"
30 minutes passed before you replied
words upon words, into sentences into paragraphs
into everything about you about me about life
2 hours later we spoke on the phone
3 hours long into the wee hours of the morning

i laughed at your stories, and your horrible pick up lines
it didn’t take long for me to breathe you in
compliments, pick up lines, unspoken messages hidden in our actions
you held me in the way i’d always dreamt of
your words, your eyes, your arms, you
i never thought there would be another one
(in the way you took me in as whole, the way you saw me as complete and enough)

i saw the red flags, i heard all the sirens flare up
but i’m never good at listening to myself
it was wrong, i knew, and i didn’t care,
it was wrong, i only wish i knew how wrong it all was
it was wrong, just like my entire existence and maybe i should’ve cared

i want to love you
but i am
afraid
i want to love you
and i am afraid
(and) it might be
too late
