.and attachment isn’t love

someseason:

We were made for young love
Nights spent dancing in gas station parking lots
Making out to bob dylan and woody guthrie
We were made for each other
Not for forever, but for a little while
And for a little while that was enough
You were enough
With your grey eyes and needy hands
Body to body
Mind to mind
Spending nights arguing just to tell me that I was right and you were wrong even though you hardly ever were
We were made for youth that killed and nights the burnt our days out
Mindlessly running fingertips over collarbones and tongues over lips
Talking on the phone until 2am just to be near but not close
We were made for backwater summers
Drowning out what we needed for what we wanted
Which was enough for me because you were all I wanted, but never quite what I needed
I wanted you in that naive sense
That lustful, maybe-love, has-to-be-god sense
You moved me and I adored you
Leg to leg
Cheek to cheek
Lip to lip
I adored you
I wanted you
I loved you
But I never needed you

“I love you, but you just make me so sad.” She whispered quietly enough to not wake him.

“And I so badly want to go back to the way things were, but every time I look at you now I feel little edges of my heart cracking apart.”

She kisses his chest with the next words, “I love you, but I have to love myself now.”
