When I'm doing my dishes,
I picture you coming up behind me and wrapping your arms around me.
When I'm taking a shower,
I picture you quietly slipping in with me and lathering up my hair.
When I'm at school,
I picture you in the seat next to me and
casting me sideways glances telling stories only we know.
When I'm eating dinner,
I picture you across the table from me and
you're telling me about your day with a hint of *** in your smile.
One day all of this things may happen,
but until then all I have is the pictures in my head.

January 3rd - I saw you walking in my direction in the hallway at school and you looked up and smiled at me.
February 5th - You bumped into me accidentally and I felt your hand graze my thigh; it was electric.
March 17th - We have a class together, and you asked me to be your partner for a project. I said yes.
April 8th - You slipped a note into my purse as you walked out of class inviting me out on a date. I said yes.
May 2nd - We'd been on a few dates by now, and today we shared our first kiss. I didn't know lips could feel like the beginning of something so beautiful and terrifying.
June 25th - You looked me in the eye and told me you loved me. I said I loved you too.
July 19th - We'd been fighting a lot. I don't know why but it hurt because I felt as if you were slipping away from me and I didn't know how to stop it.
August 27th - It'd been a few weeks since you'd kissed me and I was trying everything I could to fix it. To fix us.
September 8th - You called to tell me we needed to talk. I already knew what you were going to say.
October 12th - The way I miss you is incomparable to anything I've ever felt or probably will ever feel. I'm nothing without you.
November 28th - I texted you to tell you happy thanksgiving and added that I missed you. You didn't reply.
December 4th - I saw you walking in my direction in the hallway at school, but this time you didn't smile. You simply looked away.
