For someone who says he loves me, you really don’t act like it.
You don’t tell me you love my voice. Hell, you don’t even call me. Do you notice the softness of my voice when you make me laugh, and understand how the calmness you radiate makes me hum with pleasure? My throat catches and it’s because I want to yell your name from all the rooftops of the world. But you don’t call and I type the words here instead.
My friends notice how my eyes shine when I say your name. They’re not idiots, they’ve known me for years. But are you, because you have too. I look at you as if your smile is art, and I hope to be the artist. When I close my eyes, I see you as I want you, close and breathless. Do you see what I see? Do you see me?
I’ve memorized your scent. I remember it through all the other smells I like- the rain, cinnamon, maggi, my blanket. It’s wreathed among the memories of mornings in our room. Your cologne makes me giddy. It has me bouncing into your arms and playing with the collar on your white shirt. You are my oxygen. Your hands are around my throat and I’m choking.
And the way you taste, oh god. I’m haunted by your weight against my lips, with your tongue raking across my body. Kiss me, I pray, kiss me with the breath of strawberries, cigarettes, spicy, sweet, and our sex. Do you bite your lips in anticipation for me? Do your lips even curve into a delighted smile at my texts?
I guess the only thing you know about me are my hands. Hands that would worship you, at the risk of bleeding and burning. Soft hands with maroon nails and a silver ring. Touch of a feather, feel of heaven. Hands that will make you lunch, rub your hair, peel you oranges, dig into my chest at the pain, run angry red lines across my face, shake at the strain of holding myself together while you drive me insane.
You don’t love me, you just act like it. It’s all on the surface, while I love so deeply that I’ve lost all my senses. My blood rushes to my heart just for it to ache. I’m sensitive to every single sign you give, but every time you say you love me, you really don’t act like it.
-fuck love. i'm so tired.
