Comes With it

scared to fly,
scared of the landing,
not of the flight.

scared to kiss him,
scared to miss him,
but too scared
not to love him.

thumping hearts and tangled sheets,
bruised egos and battered trust,
they're next to each other yet so far away.

crying, weeping, sobbing,
screaming, euphoria, pure joy,
broken hearts, torn love, pain.

she was too scared
to say the words that would've changed their lives:
'i love you, James'

touching, kissing, fucking,
he touched her head and murmured words,
meaningless, stupid, lovely words

cousins, related, lovers,
they share something wonderful,
but ever so silly.
