I know I swore I'd never trust anyone again,

But I didn't have to.

I didn't chase.

You came to me.

I want my face pressed against your flannel while you're hugging me.

You sweeping my hair out of my face.

Gripping your waist tightly.

When I'm here holding you,

Nothing else seems to matter.

Within a matter of minutes you drop to the floor,

Gasping for breathe.

I laugh softly,

And walk over your body.

I've got lips like poisonn!
