Did you know it's impossible to count how many times I've looked into those hazel eyes and still be amazed by their beauty.
Trying to protect my fragile heart so it won't break with his presence.
And even though I have this perfect boyfriend who loves me endlessly, I still forget to breathe everytime he smiles my way.
Turning a light shade of pink while forcing myself to return his kindness.
So afraid I'll be caught memorizing the every curve in his handsome body, or dreaming of the way his lips round his every word.
And I can't help but notice this friendship turning into something strange, unfamiliar, and so complex.
I miss the sound of his voice the moment he walks away.
But, as soon as I smell his sweet scent my heart starts racing all over again.
Do you know how badly it hurts to hear her talk non-stop about how great you two would be together and try to pretend I'm happy for the two of you when really it feels as if she's opened a wound that has finally decided to heal.
I guess my point is; He's the only person that cankill me and keep me breathing at the same time.
Keep Me Breathing
