Welcome home.

You’re back.

Back when I least

Expected you.

You.

I never realized how much

I missed you.

Your face,

Your eyes,

Your lips,

Your scent.

Everything about you

Is overwhelming

Like sensory overload

Taking over my senses,

Taking control of my body

You’re intoxicating

And without you

I feel incomplete.

But with you,

I feel hurt, pain

Crushed.

It's impossible to live with you

But I know I would be much better

Without you.

But I can't seem to cut the cord,

To throw away the pack.

You may never know

How I truly feel about you.

But please,

Just stay with me.
