“I wanted you like nothing else.
And I knew my life would
be in ruin by the time you left.
But I just couldn’t bring myself to care.”
This danger I feel, when I’m with you is nothing like anything I’ve experienced before in my life. You blew into my world like a hurricane, and it was only fitting that you left destruction in your wake as you passed on by. Maybe that’s what drew me in like a moth to flame. The uncertainty. The intrigue. Or maybe, it was morbid curiosity. Either way, I wanted you like nothing else. And I knew my life would be in ruin by the time you left. But I just couldn’t bring myself to care.
Perhaps I should have, but those stories are worth telling. Those stories are worth knowing. Loving. Just like you.
