Not In My Cards

I was never destined for a great love story

But meeting someone who is capable of loving as deeply as you do,
Someone who lets their entire heart consume them
In every sense of the word

…It gives me a sliver of hope
That maybe, one day, I could be capable of
experiencing such a deep love like yours.

I wish I could put into words
The way it feels when someone turns out to be
Exactly what you hoped they would never become

Broken.
Breathless.
Brooding.
Bothered.
Bleeding.
Bruised.
Brittle.
Blank.
Bitter.
Blind.
Bent.
Bare.
B.

You said you’d ruin me.
But there’s no need to do that,
Because I’ve already set myself on fire.

I’m scared of what you’re capable of.

You bring out the best in me
And you scare the shit out of me

I joke you’re the nervous one
That I’m always in control

But deep down, that’s a lie
You have me wrapped around your finger

And we both know it.

Sometimes I feel like nobody could ever truly love me,
because nobody could ever truly understand me.

If we wanted to do it,
but didn’t plan for it to happen
Can we still call it an accident?
