It Was the Way He Said It...

It was the way he said it

His "I love you's" violating my ears

I want to scream at him

"Liar! You don't love me!

I have feelings to you know! Stop using me as a substitute!"

Even when

He stares into my eyes of amethyst

Showing all the love he can in his emerald orbs

But I know it can't be true

My insecurities swarm me.

"You're an imperfect being. He could never love

You."

And no matter how much I want to ignore it,

I know it's probably true.

I can't lose him.

He's the reason I get up every morning,

Why my emotions are out of control.

Every kiss we share LIGHTS my mind

And ignites my missing flame.

I jump out of my skin when he scares me

But we always end up laughing 'til we cry.

He whispers sweet nothings to me

Trying to comfort me.

His warm breath caresses my ear.

I can't lose that.

He's the best thing that has ever happened to me.

The light in the center

Of my dark world.

And as much as I try to hide it,

I love him much more than he knows.

So out of Bravery,

I tell him. And even if my heart gets shattered

The time we spent together will have been worth it.

"I love you, Beast Boy," I whisper.

"I love you, too, Raven."
