‘I love you,’ you whispered to me, like it was forbidden to say

I can still hear those sweet words of relief rolling off you soft lips

I can still see your blurred features between my eyes

I can feel the beating of your heart as you hold me like you never want to let go

But still I feel like you have secrets that you never want to tell me

I feel like you can’t trust me

And I feel like I can’t trust you.

I want you to just be forever mine

I don’t want you to know any attractive people

I don’t want you to fall in love with someone else who’s prettier than me

Am I just being selfish?

Or cautious?

I love the way you ask permission for a kiss

I want your kisses just for me and no one else

Have you ever kissed anyone the way you kiss me?

Have you ever told someone you love them the way you tell me?

I’ll love you till my dying day

Silent tears of glass rain

We can never be together, even though we are so much in love

‘I love you too,’ I whisper.
