the way you defend yourself and the ones beloved to you is attractive, to say the least.

I've heard it all about you, the rumours, the truths, and the tales.

with the amount of time I've spent with you, all I clarify is that you are no beast.

you've got every piece of my fractured, yet radiating, heart in bales.

nothing they do can affect you now, nor will they ever,

because we both know, in the midst, you've always been so clever.

exactly why every time you utter the words, I need you

I chuckle to myself and wonder, do you now?
