Chapter 16 - Behind your eyes.

A gorgeous glow

Under that pale light.

I think she might be Elven.

Made my temperature rise

Before my eyes.

I'm talkin' degrees

Not Kelvin.

-

I think I have a crush.

Girl, where have you been?

I'm not lookin' for too much,

Yeah, I just need a new friend.

I just need a new life.

I just need a new trend.

Think I need a new wife.

Cause I don't want it to end.

And I don't want it to bend.

-

But that's better than

Letting that shit break.

I'm great

At spotting flags

Yeah, I'll cut it

Before it gets too late.

-

But

We haven't started yet

That love

Is up for debate.

I hope that I

Can equalize

Take some weight

Off your plate.

Take some stress

From your space

Put a smile

On your face

I know that you are scared

But I'll be there

You set the pace.

-

I kinda like you,

But I'm so scarred

I don't chase.

Was hoping you would text me

But I dread it

In the first place.

Like...

-

You think you're terrified

Of love?

I'm fuckin' traumatized.

But I

Would risk it all

To see the stars you hide

Behind your eyes.

And

I think I've realized

That I could never summarize

The way love makes you feel

So far from real

Fucking demoralized...

And maybe

Baby

You could be the one

Maybe you could sate my fears

Undo

What's all been done.

Try not to run

Into this blindly

We've just begun...

I'm patient

I've just been waiting

For two to turn into 

One.
