Our love is like
Freezing water
We both want to jump in
But we don't want to go
Too fast or mess up
And we don't know how to swim
So we'll just hold each other
And wade in the shallow end
My boyfriend and I had our first kisses yesterday which was terrifying for both of us and before we did it, he compared it to jumping in freezing water and I liked that.

I see you standing there,
Sun on your skin, wind in your hair.
I want to hold you tight and not let go.
I love you a lot but you will never know.

Your green eyes, how they shine so bright,
I dearly hope the light inside them will never be dim again.
But if someone hurts you, I will be here.
Your shoulder to cry on, like I've always been
Since that day...

Your caramel brown hair shines in the sun.
Soft as silk. I reach out to touch it, but pull back.
So scared of what you will say,
When I tell you that I have loved you,
Since the day that we first met.

I will never forget...
How you were standing there,
Sun on your skin and wind in your hair.
You were holding him tight and wouldn't let go.
You loved him a lot, but he didn't know.
He left you that day,
And I walked up to say
"You look like you could use a friend."
You smiled your amazing smile and went along with me.
No questions asked. I could tell you were sad,
But I made you laugh and forget.
And maybe that's why you stayed for so long...

...

"I love you."
There, I said it. Straight to your face.
You looked a bit shocked but then you placed,
Your hand up to my face,
And said, "I know."
You leaned in and closed those pretty green eyes,
And kissed me.
Now I'm the one surprised.
You loved me too.

Now I will never have to let you go.

Sometimes I wonder if I should give up on you...

My heart can't take the hurt anymore,
Maybe I should get up and walk out that door.
Seeing you everyday, I wish you would come and take the pain away.
But I know that you won't.
And I just don't want to see you with her any longer.

Maybe if I move on I could become so much stronger?

It may take awhile, but someday I will find someone and instead of tears,
They will make me smile.

Should I give up on you?

Please, I'm begging for an answer.
But I know that I will never get one from you,
Will I?

As for now, I will continue to love you until,
I start to doubt my feelings once again.
This endless cycle will probably never end.
So I will keep on asking,

Should I give up on you?


The answer is no,
Not quite yet....

To the girl who will one day take my last name
I want to tell you that you look beautiful,
Beautiful like in the way the summer sun bends around the north pole because it refuses to set its constant and lasting
Just like the way my heart jumped the moment i saw you for the first time and it has refused to come down
Everytime since, when i see you, although i have never been much of a dreamer, i daydream about all the things i want to do to you like...
Make you smile... or blush
So that my daydreams will have the perfect backdrop of love to memorize your every freckle, and then i want to drink the smile i put on your face beause i know it is the only thing that can quench my thirst
I want to tell you that I want to learn ballet, just so i can catch you everytime you jump and make sure that ill never let you fall... unless it's for me...
I want to learn to draw
Because I want to draw my way into your life, van gogh my way into your past present and future, i want to spend my whole life with you, and on your dying day i want to roundhouse kick death for even thinking of taking you away from me
But most of all i want to make you... happy
Happy in a way that is unexplainable
Like why do birds suddenly appear everytime you are near
It would be to easy to say that just like me they long to be close to you
And i want it to be unexpected like when you fall asleep after a long day
Slowely at first and then it engulfs you completely
I want to tell you that I want you to be able to feel the sunlights warm caress even on the darkest of days
And on days when you can't see the stars in the night sky
I will cut stars out of my paper heart
Even though they always seem to rip when held in hands that aren't careful enough
and then I want to hang them from your ceiling
So you will always have something beautiful to look at
And if you would just notice me I promise that I can love you like that...
But instead when I finally noticed that you caught me staring at you about 15 minutes ago... I opened my mouth and instead of all the soliloquies that dance through my head whenever you saunter into a room all that came out was hi.....
I think it was a good start.

Nothing I do is
Ever adequate for you
Still, in vain, I try
I can't stop myself from caring.

Lovely dainty Spanish needle
With your yellow flower and white,
Dew bedecked and softly sleeping,
Do you think of me to-night?

Shadowed by the spreading mango,
Nodding o'er the rippling stream,
Tell me, dear plant of my childhood,
Do you of the exile dream?

Do you see me by the brook's side
Catching crayfish 'neath the stone,
As you did the day you whispered:
Leave the harmless dears alone?

Do you see me in the meadow
Coming from the woodland spring
With a bamboo on my shoulder
And a pail slung from a string?

Do you see me all expectant
Lying in an orange grove,
While the swee-swees sing above me,
Waiting for my elf-eyed love?

Lovely dainty Spanish needle,
Source to me of sweet delight,
In your far-off sunny southland
Do you dream of me to-night?
