I was once told by a lover that my lips were addictive, and my kisses could make her knees weak and her head spin,
I was afraid of never kissing like that again.
I was once told by a lover, that the way I pick my smiles, and the way I'd hold my stares could be threatening to most, but to her, they were comforting,
I was afraid of never smiling like that again.
I was once told by the sky that the universe can and will continue without my eyes getting lost in the refraction of light.
I was afraid of never seeing the stars dart towards your irises again.
One day, a lover told me, that I was perfect, that my love was worth it, that nothing mattered as long as we kept these strong feelings. I was told by lovers that my affection was wanted and appreciated, I was told that the way I'd caress their skin, and trace my lips on their chest was enough to make them stay, while the way I made them feel like royalty had them infatuated with the thought of being by my side..Â
I was told by lovers that my love was good enough,
I was told by lovers that my heart was worth it,
I was told by lovers that they'd never leave my side when things got so bad I wished existence wasn't wasted on me..
I was told, that I had a love incomparable to others,
and I was afraid they've been comparing me all the time,
and I was afraid these things weren't true.
