out of all these things I've done // think I'll love you better now

this is not love: feeling not enough for what she wants feeling like just another person to kiss not anyone special
this is not love: "i don't want you to see the bad parts of me."
this is not love: expectations expectations expectations
this is not love: staying because everyone says I should we are "goals" and "so cute" this is everyone else's relationship not my own
this is not love: damn that's hot (and nothing else)
this is not love: going through motions because i think that i want to (i don't i'm just lonely and sad)
this is not love: trusting her being cheated on it's a slap in the face

this is love: holding her hand sitting on the back of her car wanting to kiss her cheek to keep her warm
this is love: her hand on my hand not wanting other things just touching to be touching because we feel so much
this is love: a bad day ending up with flowers grocery store candy nose kisses "it's going to be okay."
this is love: waking up early on a monday morning no school to hold her hand kiss her face feel happy
this is love: jesus christ you are so fucking beautiful i can't even breathe
this is love: soft smiles in her neck giggling when we kiss my knees weak at her touch
this is love: trusting her with my heart she's my best friend how can i not
this is love: she keeps me warm and i keep her safe and i know the way she smiles when she's sad and i love the way she loves me and i'm not going to let go
