Agnes

it is better unsaid.

cause he says it better.

his eyes when they lock mine.

his smile is when i lose myself.

his arms that bedazzle me.

he knows but he won't show.

the serenity, a tryst.

the silence, a chance i don't miss.

don't call me weak if i miss you.

your words hurt when they come from you.

sometimes it is better unsaid.

cause i say it better.

my lips when they lock his.

my smile is when he loses himself.

my fingers are what bedazzle him.

calling me pretty, makes me prettier.

we know but we don't let it show.

our hands when they intertwine.

you know we won't let go.

so honey hold on.

wait for two more minutes.

the fear that inhibits.

fight that. for me.

i will fight for you honey, i will.

i want the best for you. i want the best of me. for you.

i will cheer you up every time you're somber.

just know i'm there for you, baby, i am.

all i try is to be with you.

and trust me i'd never stop.

i think i told us.

we are what we have, honey.

we are agnes. we are in love.

i think i told us.

you are inevitable.

you are inevitably more addicting than ever.

and i think i told us.

don't call me weak if i miss you.

your words hurt when they come from you.

- i know. you don't mean it. but i guess the gravity between us is too much. too much that it outweighs even the slightest of seconds. seconds when you're not feeling like it. you say something. it's not meant to be, but i take it to the heart.

please bear who i am. i know you do. but i can't help it. i am a little too emotional. i am a little too possessive. i am a little too forgiving. i ask for forgiveness too much. i think too much sometimes. i am a little too crazy. i am a little too messy.

so i ask you again to please bear who i am. because i know you do.

i think i told us that.

i love you.

more than ever.

i do.

you made it easier for me. to love.

i can't say it enough.

- and i think you told us that.
