Can’t go there

I try to keep my distance (to keep you at arm’s length) but the line is blurry because we flirt and back off and I can’t go there again.

You still bite your lip the way I do I itch to feel mine on yours But I can’t go there. Your hands are the same to hold I hold mine together (to not touch)

I don’t know how to react. because you blindside me with your emotions and seduce me with your words roping me into your spiderweb to play with me like a yo-yo pulling me in and pushing me back again.

We broke up for a reason. What’s the reason we keep coming back? My heart is beating and I can’t breathe normally. Or spell.

But you know me And understand me More than anyone has You aren’t what I want But I miss what we had And you still want me.

I cant. Wont. Go there. But you know me. But I don’t know you. Because you’re different But the same. But. I can’t. go. there.
