“Cause I’m hard to love.”
A statement he said that was keeping you both from being together. It didn’t help to know that he was stubborn. But you loved him for his stubbornness.
“It doesn’t matter as I’m willing to try.”
“Baby, all I’m tryna do is save you the pain.”
It didn’t matter what he said as you were willing to try even if you hurt your heart in the process.

Tonight was a special night when he decided to be vulnerable. The moonlight makes his facial features appear soft with his boyish charms and his freckles that appear like constellations. That you would want to count each one. Dark hair that was disheveled as he ran his hand through. Making you want to play but control yourself from not ruining the moment. With his eyes constantly shifting and not wanting to look directly at you. A complete contrast to his usual personality is bright like the sun and warm. A well-known social butterfly that turned into something so innocent.
Something about this moment made you want to keep engraved in your mind.
With the faint blushes that are planted on his cheeks, his eyes darting away from your stare, manly hands that don’t know how to stay still. It suited him a little too well.
“You bring a new side of me that I want to know more about with you.”
He decided to show that side for you only.

An emotion you never felt before as it caresses you. His gaze pierces through yours in a split moment. Your heart has been stolen in secret hiding. With him showing his blinding smile as a light appeared. Making you feel blind that you see another world.
Not wanting to wake up from this dream. Even if he’s a fantasy that will disappear when you open your eyes. You won’t let go of him and this dream. You want to sleep just like this. As you fall endlessly for him.
“I got you, you got me.”
The last thing you heard from him

”Love is like playing with fire.”
Your mother would say always. Like her way of saying to be careful around guys. You’ll get hurt if you were to play.
She might be right
A feeling you felt whenever you saw him. Your heart gets excited. As your attraction to him is bigger than expected. It was like you wanted to throw your all into his fiery path.
You were too far deep in this. None of this is a game anymore. As he continues to burn you like this.
You couldn’t control the flame that was spreading too quickly. You didn't want it to be stopped. The love that you shared wasn’t normal between the two of you.
Your love that’s like playing with fire.

There is nothing much left between the two of you. Other than memories. So why are you beside him? As if you never left his side. What do you call him now? He was your lover. Your honey. Your Daisy.
Maybe just calling his name is the easiest. As you wonder and ponder the proper distance between as strangers. Cause this isn’t natural to see him everyday.
So what do I call you now?

It wasn’t a problem for him. All he needed was your location and the hour to visit you. He’ll be right there.
Time must have stopped for when he sees you. All of his senses freeze from your presence.
You’re his ice queen.
Like fire and ice. Hot and cold. Evaporated.
He will gladly warm your frozen hands and cast his burning heart into yours.
He’ll stake it all for you

Walking continuously with a thick fog that surrounds you. Without any clue about the direction. You see a lean yet tall figure. That resembles him. You won’t ever let him go, as he gets deeper into the fog and darkness.
Endlessly wandering as if you were possessed by him.
With arms open that allowed you to seek comfort. You were able to embrace him like you did before. The warmth that you missed so dearly. Wanting more and more.
Falling
Calling
Chasing
You know it’s just a dream.
