14 Things I Didn’t Say to Her

“Teach me how to love you.”

—

1.) Teach me how to love you.

2.) Tell the truth about the kissing. Don’t endure bad things.

3.) If it is too much, whatever ‘it’ is, say so. Telepathy is too rare to be expected.

4.) Don’t raise your voice. Don’t raise your voice. Just don’t.

5.) Are we really fighting? ‘Cause this feels like pure silliness. Kiss me already or I’ll lick your face.

6.) Cold hands need warm armpits. Let mine be twin furnaces. (Yes, I’m wearing deodorant.)

7.) “You hurt me.” I know and I’m sorry. How can I make you forget?

8.) Missing you feels like dying slowly. Be here soon or I’ll be dust when you arrive.

9.) “No one understands our relationship.” I love that. May they be forever mystified.

10.) “I’m reporting you to you because there’s no one else to tell.” *chuckles* What did I do?

11.) Best friend, lover and several things in-between.

12.) “Pillow fight?” You didn’t even have to ask.

13.) If marriage will change everything, let’s not ruin this with it.

14.) My cover is blown. I can’t pretend to be badass anymore. You’ve seen my heart. Dammit! *chuckles, kisses, lights out*

In place of my absentmindedness.

Instead of my aloofness.

I wasn’t born icy, the cold just got to me.
