werewolves

playing pretend

By Crystal HiltonPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

I went to go text you today

I didn’t see the last time you read my text

But I could’ve sworn you read it

It tells me you didn’t read my texts since Wednesday, that was 2 days ago

But I can clearly see you responded to me

That only leaves me to believe you stopped sending me your read receipts

I don’t understand why though

What happened to us?

I... thought we were good

Good enough for you to respond to me

But not good enough to know when you actually read it

Not gonna lie it hurts

But I guess it’s okay

At least you responded

I was gonna tell you about this book I read

It was on Wattpad

It was just some werewolf love story

They tried to fight the pull of their mate

But they couldn’t

....sometimes I wish I was a werewolf

Don’t get me wrong I don’t care about being strong

I don’t care about healing

I don’t care about running fast

I want a mate

I want someone the moon goddess made just for me

I want to be certain this ones the one

I want to know being away from me hurts you as much as it hurts me

I want to lay on your chest and hear our hearts beat in sync

I want our love not to falter over the years

I want to grow old with you

I want you to grow old with me

They say be careful what you wish for

But, I wish I was a werewolf

Because I want to be strong enough to catch you when you fall

I want to be able to heal you when you’re hurt

I want to be fast enough to get to you when you need me

I want a mate

But I’m no werewolf

I’m only human

A troubled soul no one wants to love

A burden

But if you want

We can pretend we're werewolves

And together?

We can pretend this is love

heartbreak
