I fell in love with Zeus. I've read enough myths to know this won't end well.

His eyes were storm clouds he barreled through me, over me like a hurricane. His fingers were lighting lashing out all over me. A clap, his thunder shaking me separating my skin from my bones. Split lips and clenched fists. Eyes welded shut, a metallic taste left in my mouth. I am in love with a natural disaster.

Your past I shall be. And You, mine.

Three years later. a new girl sits cross-legged on your bed. She tastes like a different flavor of bubblegum than you are used to. She opens up a book that you had to read in high school, and a folded picture of us falls out of chapter three. Now there are two unfinished stories resting in her lap.
Inevitably, she asks and you tell her.

You say: I dated her a while back.
You don't say: Sometimes, when I'm holding you. I imagine the smell of her vanilla perfume.
You say: She was younger than me.
You don't say: The sixteen summers in her bones warmed the eighteen winters my skin has weathered.
You say: We didn't work out.
You don't say: It was all the things I could ever work on and never get bored of.
You say: It's over now.
You don't say: But it was everything then.

For somethings are better left unsaid.

Love is like a narcotic. At first it brings the euphoria of complete surrender.The next day, you want more. You're not addicted yet, but you like the sensation, and you think you can still control things. You think about the person you love for two minute, and forget them for three hours. But then you get used to that person, and you begin to be completely dependent on them. Now you think about him for three hours and forget him for two minutes. If he's not there, you feel like an addict who cant get a fix. And just as addicts steal and humiliate themselves to get what they need, you're willing to do anything for love.

Be

Be the words
I need to hear
And be the sun
That shines all year
Be the light
So I am free from fear
And be the water
That is crystal clear
Be the wind
That holds me near
And be the home
That keeps me here
