by Pierre Alex Jeanty

People who are in love, yet cheat, aren’t always lying; some don’t know the difference between love and infatuation. Almost everyone knows the beginning stages of love, and lots of people fall into it. It is those who reach the different levels of love who aren’t willing to sacrifice anything to lose that. Those who only knew infatuation eventually become infatuated with someone else. “Not the love you think.”

There are far too many women I watch put more effort into searching for the man inside of the boy, than into finding the woman they are destined to be. To those women, you can only search for a loving man inside a man; a boy has to find the man inside himself. “Words from the wise.”

Give me reasons to trust you, and I’ll keep feeding them to my vulnerability in hopes that it will become full of enough persuasion to lay a driveway for love to park itself between us.

You say I am cold on purpose, but I tell you every part of me that is looking to be affectionate, is on pause. It is on hold until I feel safe, until I know you will not leave after I become completely naked and unprotected with you. “Precaution”
