Violetta Love
Posts: 1

your words are like honey to my ears
you know exactly what I want to hear
I put a wall up so I don't have to face my fear.
When I fall for someone I usually end up tears.

This isn't about the fear of rejection
but its actually about the fear of perfection.
I know no one is "Perfect" but I made you my selection.

I created this image of you, I set a high expectation.
I go to bed a night not giving into temptation.
I'd probably do anything for you without an explanation.

You see I always end up falling so hard and so fast
I should be really careful because my heart is made of glass.
When I look for love, I look for something that will last.
Something a lot better than I had in the past.

I know I shouldn't expect too much
I know with this love thing i should never rush.
but can I get a " Refill" of this "Conversational Lush"

I wish I could slow down my mind
I wish i could speed up time.
I wish you could hurry up and be mine.
