'You don't write because you want to say something, you write because you have something to say.' / / F. Scott Fitzgerald
oh dear me. I think, i might be, just slightly wholly and completely head over heels in love. Silly me.

A slight slip up.
It starts with a look lasting only two seconds. Its Simple yet highly confusing exciting but equally as petrifying beautiful but as destructive as anything can get. i wonder if he can see these contradictions that make camp behind my eyes. He makes me question my motives my failure to see my worth my permanent demons my hopes and my fears my inability to trust my constant pervasive mindset and he gives me faith All that with just one look. Yet, i don't think he realises what i think when i look at him for those 2 seconds. and when he asks i can't put it into words. even in that short span of time my mind is trying to come up with excuses for my thoughts and actions towards him. trying to process a feeling ive never felt. That in those two seconds almost everything is quiet. and the answer is simple The best things are not meant for definition Not by words, or by metaphors There are simply meant to be felt.

Seconds
A man and women stand opposite each other, they can see each others heads, but not their bodies. The bodies are being shielded by a brick wall. A wall that the women has tried her hardest to build. The man raised his arm and tried to break through to get the women at the other side. while the women, frantically tries to build back the pieces that have come loose, she steps back and allows a single tear to slither down her cheek. The man, seeing this, stops and looks at the women. They do nothing but stand there, in complete and utter silence, until the woman opens her mouth to speak. “Its not you. There's something about you, that scares me, something i know that if you break this wall down, i wont be able to handle” But he doesn't turn away. Instead he stays dead still, and smiles. “You scare me too, but we got this” And just like that she let him in. - ALH

You completely capture me with everything you said Instantly believing you, Instantly unprepared. As i take gulps of your innocence and inhale your every word Instantly in love with you, Instantly absurd And how much will you take from me? Instantly too much. How can i provide for you when my love is not enough? I stare into your deceitful eyes, those of an angel i thought Until you push me to the side and they instantly contort. Your shining eyes of the colour blue turn a vicious red. As i think back to the hints you dropped, the things i left unsaid Now looking at you in a brand new light through new eyes you have never met instantly hurting from the thing known as regret. For those eyes, i thought only mine as i was bound to you. I guess i was delusional, I guess that she was too. - ALH

Today I watched as a leaf fell from the tree above where  I stood As I watched I thought of  the  fragility of the falling leaf How it softly floats through the air and lands with no thump, no sound I longed for my fall to be as gentle and kind as that was. that's when I think of you I always believed  that I would fall like that leaf I should never pin hopes on misconceptions. -A.L.H

I have been like a jigsaw to you You like to pull me apart and leave me u n f i n i s h e d wedge pieces into slots that will never fit for your own amusement But what you don't know is I don't need that piece you've taken in order to be w h o l e and I would like to thank you for showing me the person I never want to be. - A.L.H
