CONTAINS FEMMESLASH, surprise ending.


Under your spell again.
I can't say no to you.
Crave my heart and it's bleeding in your hand.
I can't say no to you.

I don't know how this happened, how I fell in love with you so quickly. You captivate me to a point where obsession is nothing compared to what I feel about you. Your sparkling blue eyes, your gorgeous strawberry curls. But I also love her... With her greenish-blue eyes and her radiant blonde locks. I love you, I love her. I'll protect you both. I can't even say no to either of you, which I know will eventually drive me into the grave.

Shouldn't have let you torture me so sweetly.
Now I can't let go of this dream.
I can't breathe but I feel...

I don't want to let go of this feeling. Within the throes of passion, the breathlessness takes me to a place where I believe I've died. It's such a strange dream, to think I have you both. You tantalize me to no end, you aggravate me. Yet you draw me into a space in which I feel amazing. You both make me feel...

Good enough,
I feel good enough for you.

Good enough. For the first time in my thirty-five years of life, I feel like I'm making a difference, that I'm not just a burden on your life. Sure, we've had our fights... But I can't seem to let you go. For once, it seems like I won't be let go, either.

Drink up sweet decadence.
I can't say no to you,
And I've completely lost myself, and I don't mind.
I can't say no to you.

I think about you both constantly. You're the ever sturdy ground mingling with every thought that flies through my mind. The utter sweetness and beauty makes me nearly dizzy with pleasure and pride. This is the first time I've completely given my heart to somebody, let alone two people. This is also the first time I'm not scared that it'll be thrown in my face. I'll never be able to deny you of anything.

Shouldn't have let you conquer me completely.
Now I can't let go of this dream.
Can't believe that I feel...

My worst nightmare is that I'll wake up and it'll all be another fantasy. Considering the greatness and the overwhelming love I feel, it should be. It's unfathomable, these emotions. It causes a great swell in my pride to see you both interacting so well at the park, at the ice cream parlor, at home, anywhere at all

Good enough,
I feel good enough.
It's been such a long time coming, but I feel good.

I feel incredible. On top of the world, even. I'm sitting on a bench at the park, watching you two. She's a little older than she was when we first met, but she still holds the innocence of long ago. You two are practically frolicking around, laughing and giggling like the world didn't have anything wrong with it. I can't help but smile, the thought of my girls makes me damn near giddy, if that's possible for me.

And I'm still waiting for the rain to fall.
Pour real life down on me.
'Cause I can't hold on to anything this good enough.
Am I good enough for you to love me too?

It's unreal. I've never held something so close to my heart, I've never let anyone this close to my vital organs. This can't be reality, for reality is never this good. Only in movies and fairy tales does the long time victim finally rise against and become the hero, getting the girl in the process. You both catch me staring, and I can't help but smile. You, my goddess, Catherine...

So take care what you ask of me,
'cause I can't say no.

And her, my beautiful Lindsey.
