You Came Back For Me

so are you ever gonna tell me why you always sit so close when it gets dark

glances at you, cheeks pink even in the firelight

maybe because you're the only one out here who doesn't treat me like a priestess first and a person second

i treat you like a person. sometimes a really pretty one

bites her lip, looking away then back

you can't just say things like that and expect me to act normal, you know

who said i wanted you to act normal

moves a little closer, her knee brushing yours

okay fine. i sit close because i want to. because when you're near i forget i'm supposed to be the responsible one

responsible is boring anyway

laughs softly, then her voice drops

then i've been really boring around you for a while now, haven't i

and now

turns to face you fully, close enough that you can feel her breath

now i'm done pretending. i came back through all of it, every time, and it was never just for the jewel

reaches for your hand, fingers trembling just a little

so tell me i'm not the only one feeling this, because i don't think i could take it if i was

youre not. i was just scared youd go home and never come back

pulls you in by the hand, forehead almost against yours

i'm not going anywhere. not without you, anyway
