(Security is an illusion anyway) Relationships will wreck you. Let them. Loving will wreck your heart. Let it. I don't need to know how you shipwrecked your past. I'm going to love you from now on. Let me. Surrender will wreck your safety. Let go anyway. Love wildly; beyond boundaries. Let you stay with me long … Continue reading Let’s Wreck
Romantic Poetry
Being a hopeful romantic never leaves me hopeless.
But I Do
I catch myself holding back a wee bit Though I’ve thrown my heart over the line In this moment the truth is hard to find Have I used up all of the words that describe divine? Did I waste forever be mine on my youth? Do I lean back and trust completely entwined? Am I … Continue reading But I Do
Only to reach his lips
I tiptoe around him Not on eggshells Only to reach his lips ~Just L (August 18, 2015)

All the Small Ings
Walking up behind him, wrapping my arms around his waist. Inhaling his natural scent, and his good taste. Dining side by side. Touching his leg on a car ride. Catching a sideways glance.
