Poetry Jar // Wattys Shorts Winner

if he loves you

if he loves you
he's going to try his hardest not to
people like him are the flame
and you, the delicate moth
fall for him anyway

he'll play your favorite songs first in the car
he'll buy you chocolates with you asking him to
he'll talk to you in the dead of the night
he'll bring you breakfast on a shitty day

he'll never tell you that he loves you
but he'll stare at you like you're the only moon he's ever known
he'll pick fights with you in the middle of the street
he'll make sure that you'll never watch a movie in peace

he's trying so hard to ignore
the small snort in your laugh
your fingers trailing up his arm
your smile that's giving him sleepless nights

but how, oh how can he ever look away
when you're the flame,
and he's trapped under your spell
delicate wings, fragile heart
falling for you anyway
