you always told me the littlest things
that you loved about me,
wether it was the spark in my eye
or the way i smiled in between
our make out sessions.
usually we'd sit and talk for hours,
trying to understand half
of the things you said.

you told me you loved
most of the things that i couldn't
figure out. it was like solving a jigsaw puzzle.
you loved the way
the sun kissed my face, so you'd reach out and touch it in the most
un expectable way.
you loved the way i teased you
before you leaned in to kiss me,
we both laughed because you
ran out of words to say.

so i told you all of the things i loved
about you.
as i told you, you tried hard
to make it clear that you were listening
and that i had your full attention.
i told you i wasn't good with words
and explaining my self.
but you understood anyway,
you still listened.
i couldn't find a way to
tell you
that i'm in love with you and everything
that you do.

maybe it was in the way
that you put your hand on my face
or the back of my neck,
when you leaned in to kiss me.
but i know that i wouldn't change it
for anything in the world.

in every girls life there's a boy she'll never forget
and a summer where it all began,
tonight felt like summer
it was raining, dark and cloudy
i was being held so tight to your chest
i could hear your heart
b e a t
through your shirt,
i think i fell in love again,
we sat in the back of your dads truck like we use to during the summer nights, while he blasted hinder
we made out. i think i'm in love again
i fall harder each and every time
-b.m

he asked me,
how do i know i'm in love with him,
i said:
"i am in love with
every aspect of you,
even the parts that you
have grown to
hate."
then he understood
everything,
even the words
i could not say.
-(b.m)

in the winter i met a boy
who lied about his love for me,
who hit me
never knowing why
and still, he said:
"i'm only doing this because i love you"
he left bruises on my arm
and scars on my wrists,
he always made fun of my
weight.
he never failed to say: "i love you"
with his mouth full of lies.
it has gotten so bad
to the point where i started
believing that
i deserved all he was doing to me

in summer, i met a boy
who treated me like a princess
he bought me nice things,
wrote me letters
he took the pain
a w a y
my parents approved of him,
my friends did too
he kisses like the devil
while keeping all of my demons
away
my friends told me
keep him. stay.
now i know
i deserved
more
than the boy i met in the winter

the way your green eyes
sparkle
and the way
the brown curls
stick
to your forehead,
i want to tell you
that you saved me,
but i can't
find the right words to
say.
your raspy voice when
you sing to me on the
phone
the way you laugh when
i tell you a funny joke,
i'm in love with you
i want you to know
but i don't
know how
to
tell you
