i had forgotten what is was like to be loved<\/span><\/p>\n

maybe I had just never felt it\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I was lied to\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I was never felt\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

or seen\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I was only touched\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

or gawked at\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

until you\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

who looks past my skin\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

into the muscles that move only for you\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

who feels me\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

every freckle and scar<\/span><\/p>\n

it has been so long since someone worked to have me\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

actually\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

it never has happened\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

you are a daydream I had when I was young<\/span><\/p>\n

how is it that you feel just like it?<\/span><\/p>\n

how is it that no matter what you do I crave you?<\/span><\/p>\n

you don’t have to be perfect for me\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

you can be impatient\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

short tempered<\/span><\/p>\n

as long as you come back down to love me\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

as long as you keep looking at me the way you do\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I can still see the love in your eyes through the blaze<\/span><\/p>\n

I can see the future in your calloused hands<\/span><\/p>\n
