To talk about her

Forgive me, I am only young. My veins are yet to stiffen, they crave more than just the comfort of blood. She gives me a rush I cannot say no to. You are the comfortable hug I need at the end of the day, but It’s a day I’ve spent day dreaming about her, sweetheart.

Do not let people see you cry. Eat salads, at least try. Keep conversation polite. A classy lady doesn’t fight. Have long shiny hair on your head. Look your sexiest in bed.

You smile and ask me if I picked up food for you on the way home. I try to explain to you that I didn’t know I was coming to see you today, death doesn’t come with a phone call
