I like how sometimes,
I can just look over @ you
and you're smiling.

I've found somewhere that I can call home
and actually mean it.

I just wanted to let you know that you're all I ever think about.
From the time I wake up in the morning, to the time I fall asleep at night.
Each and every day, thinking about being with you is what keeps me motivated.
And it's so hard to get through the days without having you here.
I miss falling asleep wrapped in your warmth and waking up with your arms still around me.
I miss your face being the first thing I saw every day and the last I saw every night.
I miss the way your hair felt when you used my conditioner.
I miss kissing you and painting dragons on your face.
I miss you coloring worksheets with my Pre-K class and coming with me to work.
I miss swimming with you and watching movies with you.
I miss smoking cigarettes and drinking with you.
I miss watching the sunset with you.
I miss every little thing about you.
And I would give anything to have it all back.
[I was born to tell you, "I love you."
Isn't that a song already?
I get a B in originality.
And its true, I can't go on without you.
Your smile makes me see clear
If you could only see in the mirror, what I see.
And your slowly shaking fingertips
Show that you're scared like me, so
Let's pretend we're alone.
And I know you may be scared
And I know we're unprepared
But I dont care.]
This is the scariest time of year in Florida.
I'm petrified of lightening and thunder and there's a storm every day.
And you're never around to comfort me and it really hurts.
You want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you that you wish you could be
I say all the right things at exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you and you don't know why.

Wow...that's only 12 things and I already don't want to think about any more.
When you love someone, and suddenly you're not with them anymore, a part of your heart stays with them and you can never get it back.
This is always going to suck no matter how hard I try to kid myself into believing that everything is fine.
Because you were the first and only boy I've ever really loved...
And just as easily as the flames were ignited, they quickly dissipated.
It had been more than 2 years since they had officially started "going out." He was at the center of her world, which her every waking minute revolved around. He filled the space in her thoughts when her mind was between sleep and awareness. The smooth lines of his face were present even in her dreams. Simply put, he was her Everything.
But lately, it seemed as if there was a certain unfamiliarity to the person he was becoming, and she couldn't help but feeling a sense of insecurity in the way he said, "I love you."
It was those three words that meant everything to her; why she felt entirely bonded to him. Yet, all of a sudden, love seemed like more of a four-letter word than a word which linked "you" and "I".
She fidgeted uncomfortably in the passenger's seat of his car and clicked on her safety belt. As she settled herself, she felt an uneasy, nauseous wave rush over her entire body as she realized she no longer felt entirely safe just by being next to him. This was the first time she'd ever used her seat belt while she was with him.
She held so much hurt in her eyes that she was sure he would notice. Blinking away, she pressed her gaze to the glorious height of the pine trees that littered the highway's vast landscape. As they drove to the coast, seagulls flew, scattered about the airway. She looked up with sudden envy at the creatures who glided so smoothly, cutting through the wind with their feathered wings the way a knife cuts through butter. She was jealous because she sensed their freedom. She would have given anything to turn into a bird at that very moment and soar out her opened window; to be able to escape at her own will.
She felt trapped in her own skin; her voice screaming silently in the depths of her throat as if someone had severed her vocal cords, purposefully condemning her to an eternal silence. She suddenly turned and focused her gaze directly at him, shooting an arsenal of razor sharp daggers at him, using him as target practice. Noticing he shifted uncomfortably, she redirected her gaze back onto the road and realized almost immediately that they didn't have a chance in hell. The car was careening into the ocean and all she could do was catch her last breath as she realized he was rolling up the windows and locking the doors. She knew as soon as the car hit the water, the engine would stall and the windows and doors would encompass her in a watery tomb.
Upon impact, the car created an enormous splash, erupting waves which engulfed the small, 2-door sedan almost instantly. As the water started spilling in through the cracks in the framework, she wondered if this was really it; the end.
With the car filled to the brim, she opened her eyes, which instantly found his. Their eyes working as magnets in the water, they locked onto one another, drawing them closer together. They held onto each other with a static cling so strongly, she thought her ribs were cracking from his strength. They had never felt so close in their entire lives.
What they needed was a fresh start, a chance to go back and change things; fix them before they got so fucked up. They needed to be willing to forgive each other for all the wickedness they had caused and all the pain that followed in its wake. As they began to forgive the damages they'd caused each other, their heads nodded in both agreement and acceptance as they both opened their mouths to let the water fill up their lungs and baptize their hearts. With his last breath, he mouthed a simple "I love you," and for the first time in months, she actually believed him. She was crying; her tears mixing with the salt water as her world turned black and cloudy.
