If Love

I loved you at first sight The conversation we had and the moments to follow, in the years we've shared Infatuation fades Mine remains in the seconds to minutes, hours to day If holding you never grows old, your smile lighting my heart never dulls If this hasn't been love open my eyes from dreaming … Continue reading If Love

Bad Habit

He touched me and instantly I pulled away He kissed me and instantly I thought of you For someone so unattainable my heart latched right onto you So long as my eyes are closed and my lips never share our secrets...
