A Dangerous Recipe

“To love him is something, I hold highly suspicious. Like having something, so very delicious – then being told, to do the dishes.”

His Cause and Effect

“He makes me turn, he makes me toss; his words mean mine are at a loss. He makes me blush! He makes me want to brush and floss.”

A Timeline

“You and I against a rule, set for us by time. A marker drawn to show our end etched into its line. The briefest moment shared with you – the longest on my mind.”

An Impossible Task

“To try or untry to forget you not, may be related somewhat. To tying, then trying to untie, a complicated knot.”

He and I

“When words run dry, he does not dry, nor do I. We are on par. He just in, I just am, and we just are.”

Codependency

“There is nothing more nice, there is nothing much worser; than me as your vice and you as my versa.”

Jealousy

“It was the way you spoke about her. With animosity, regret, disdain, and underneath it all – just a hint of pride.”

A Thank-You Note

You have said all the things I need to hear before I knew I need to hear them. To be unafraid of all the things I used to fear, before I knew I shouldn’t fear them.
