Being hurt by someone you love Quote by Jade
“It takes a look from you. Just one. My heart starts pounding fast and slow. A rhythm of love. You smile and I slow my breathing. You bump my shoulder and I heat up in the face. I look down to hide my worst fear. Behind blue eyes, these eyes, lies a truth so real. Your blues are unreadable. I wouldn't mine listening to you all day. Just replay this moment over and over again. When you say you want to see me again. Its dark but I see your face. See the curve of your smile. But still I refuse to look up at you. Ah but you force me. And right then and there you see my worst fears of falling. He goes along with it. Good lies. I wish you would had let me down slowly. Instead you dropped me. But I'm still falling”
