Dear Girl,

I wish I knew it means something for real.

Every time you call me sweet, I jump out of my skin.

I want to claw my way through the screen and just say

I want you. You complete me.

My friend told me, to be blatantly honest, you

have to lie through your teeth.

My gums cant take the pressure, because I keep my jaw clenched.

Insert cliche "my lips are sealed" line.

But for all the wrong reasons.

I need to say things.

I don't want to be quiet any more.

You need to know, and I need to tell you.

This is me trying hard to be a poet. Fail.

I'll try to be my best at everything for you,

but winning you over with words ain't gonna happen.

Not by a long shot.

Insert cliche "actions speak louder than words" line.

If it's by sea, I don't wanna know.

If we all don't take cover

we're all gonna fall back in love again.

Love,

Max.
