i look for the villain in you
it's a habit i've developed: i tend to look for the bad guy in you. i tend to search for a reason to victimize myself. i tend to make you the villain so that i have excuse to lose hope in love again. it's so easy to believe it doesn't exist. to turn to your inner seven year-old self and teach her that happy endings don't exist, that the knight in armor will never appear.
but at every corner, every monster of life, every ugly stepsister and lost glass shoe, you've been there to wield your sword and protect my heart.
so i thank you. and i love you.
