He was foolish 

.

.

He reeked of inexperience 

.

.

Lacked the emotional wherewithal to create something worth while 

.

.

But the look in his eyes said he wanted to try 

.

.

The passion in his lips said inexperience in one doesn’t mean inexperience in all 

.

.

He was an ASININE excuse for a partner 

.

.

But as a lover, he was a 5 star vacation of a lifetime 

.

.

He begged to prove he was more than face value 

.

.

Climbed mountains to show he was more than skin deep 

.

.

Ripped open his heart to prove to her that there was even a heart to see 

.

.

She was foolish

.

.

She reeked of a woman with too much experience but a heart too big that none of it mattered

.

.

She lacked the emotional wherewithal to stand by her word 

.

.

But the look in her eyes said she wanted to try 

.

.

The ache in her heart meant she still had enough of one in there for one more heartbreak 

.

.

But she was willing to put that piece of her heart in his hands and trust him not to crush it

.

.

She was an ASININE excuse for a partner 

.

.

Because she was all-in with one foot out of the door at every moment

.

.

But as a lover, she was a 5 star vacation of a lifetime 

.

.

She begged to prove that she was more than just broken pieces 

.

.

She climbed mountains to show that the glue holding her together was strong enough to carry them both 

.

.

Ripped open her heart to prove to him that there was enough in there to keep on loving

.

.

They were an ASININE excuse for partners 

.

.

Love made them foolish, nonsensical lunatics 

.

.

But as lovers they were a 5 star vacation of a lifetime 

.

.

And at the end of that lifetime, who wouldn’t choose to live it as such?

.

.

In what love story, are there lovers that aren’t foolish, that haven’t lost their senses? 

.

.

In what scenario does love not make you both a little crazy for each other? 

.

.

I truly do not know, but if you ask them, they will tell you…. 

.

.

It is going to be hard, but most things Worth having usually are

.

.

True love, knocks us a little off our senses 

.

.

But at the end of every day you just have to say

.

.

I choose you
