We started slow,
touching softly,
exploring timidly,
waiting for what we knew was to come.

I could feel his heart,
and it echoed into every part of my  body,
it reverberated in my veins,
flowed through my heart,
stopped cold in my stomach.

I start to move,
rotating my body,
kissing his neck and face,
telling him in every way,
I want you.

All he moves is his hand.

He teases,
he plays,
he tortures,
then finally I can't take anymore,
and we begin.

I have cried a hundred ways a hundred times
I have hurt a thousand ways a thousand times
I have healed a few ways a few times
but all before I met you

You are so different
You are so kind
You are everything I want in this world
and you could maybe be mine

But what if I'm not enough
What if you change your mind
and turn into all the others
that have hurt me all those times

I don't think I could bear it
I don't think I would survive
so don't call me yours
don't make me whole inside

To be yours would take all of me
for it goes against everything I believe
to just blindly trust
and see what comes to be

3:11 am and still awake
no sign of sleep in my future
because you have made me immortal

I am above human needs
for you bring me so high
that I could not even see
the world with a telescope
and why would I want to
why would I need to

For you could take away the sun
and I would survive

You could deprive me of food
and I would endure

But take away you
and I am done for

For you have brought me so high
that the fall would **** me

Friendship isn’t about being liked
It isn’t about being invited to that party
It isn’t about being picked first in gym class
It isn’t about being popular
Friendship is about having that shoulder to cry on when you’re not invited
When you’re picked last
When you’re sitting alone at lunch
It’s about having that person who lets you be you
Who makes you feel good
                                          loved
            ­                                       proud
Therefore friendship isn’t about just anyone to me
It’s about one
It’s about one girl who makes me feel all these things
Who makes me feel good
                                       loved
                                              proud
It’s about one girl who is always there for me
Who makes me smile every morning
Who makes me want to be better but still makes me happy to be me
It’s about my best friend
But it’s not about how we’re best friends, anyone could be
It’s about the million little things, that no one could be but her
It’s about the way she’s always happy to see me
It’s about the way she laughs with me when everyone else stares
It’s about how when she smiles, she glows and it’s contagious
It’s about the way she just is, and how it makes me
Everything about her, the million little things that make her up
That is what our friendship is to me
That’s what friendship is
It’s love.

If my love for you was a lightbulb
it would burn brightly

If my love for you was a rainbow
it would shine immensely

If my love for you was a flower
it would bloom beautifully

But lightbulbs dim
rainbows end
flowers die
and love fades.

I'll hold you together
Even when your heart is being shattered

I'll protect you
Even when it's you against the world

I'll put you first
Even when you deserve to be last

I'll fight for you
Even when you've given up

I'll love you
Even when no one else does

Says the girl
To herself
