You always smell so nice. And you remembered my name. I knew yours before we even met, and I remember it still. Sometimes I watch how perfect you look with your guards down and your eyes not quite alert, scribbling words to some prompt you know little about just to get through it. And I feel like an observer more than a friend. I know you are usually on the road in life. You are going there and going here and up there and it seems I’m just staring at my notepad in in a dimly lit room, writing about who I think I am. But it’s all smudged and forgotten the minute I look into your eyes. I’d throw it all away for just one embrace - a real one that means the same to you. I’m so simple and I don’t want much. I just lose myself around you and I’m sure if you knew, you’d never want that to happen. You just always smell so nice

I saw you with her and it hurt a little at first, but then it felt okay. Because you were happy. And while it would make me the happiest girl to say that I am yours and you are mine, I love how you look with a smile on your face and someone to hold hands with. I don’t mind if you forget about us - just be happy.

I'm waiting for the day when you wake up and think of me first

I don't want anything physical. I just want a body to lay beside, a soul to connect with, a person to love. I'm not sure when that became so complicated.

Sometimes I stare at the clouds and wish I could be that high. I feel the grass and know I am not going anywhere. But, sometimes, if I try hard enough, I can feel myself lift from the ground and I experience what life is truly supposed to feel like.

We ARE naive. We have little understanding of the bad things in the world, but don’t fight that. We don’t fear the consequences of walking alone at night because we see no reason to. We are naive because we are good. We lack judgement because we were raised to trust, and no, that is not a bad thing.
