i'm too old to keep this a secret and past pretending to be cool because i want to kiss you like our hair's on fire and touch you like we're both unbreakable and eat cheese and crackers washed down with wine as we laugh about crums in the sheets and furry pets with curious faces you don't need to love me forever but, you'd better love me fast.
