Kiss Me Hard, Pretty Girl

This is how you fall in love:

1. shove your hands in the sand and listen when she says that the ocean is pretty but bite your tongue when you want to say that's not the pretty thing you're looking at.

2. ten years from now, look into her eyes and try not to cry when it's not her you see in them but the disease that has taken over her mind.

3. telling your story backwards until your fingers stain with black ink.

4. please remember, pretty girl.
