Too long has it been since ink has flowed from my veins, seeped out of my pores, and bled from my heart. Too long has it been since pencils have hastily scribbled down words on the lines of my numerous notebooks and fingers have raced across key after key; the cacophony of clacks is like music in my ears as I listen to each stroke of a new letter, a new word, a new experience.
I want to write about you.
The way you can talk for hours on end about your passions and your fears and all else in between. I want to write about the way your eyebrows raise in the middle of a sentence and I don't even think you realize it. Or the way your hands move as you gesture around you for emphasis and intensity and you look like you could be standing on stage presenting a speech for millions of people. But oh god, I wish I could tell you how ******* cute you look when you speak.
I don't know what you see when you look into my murky brown eyes but I can tell you that I could stare at your face forever without feeling bored because you are the pearl trapped inside of an oyster. You're the luminous moon and the burning sun and the stars and the diamonds and the treasures you find under your mattress.
I want to write about your smile and your laugh and your bony kneecaps, and I know I'm only sixteen but is it really that ludicrous of me to say that I want love? I want to love your complicatedness, your deep thoughts and your V-neck shirts. I want to love the way you look at me as if I'm more than just a scared little girl and the way you laugh at me sometimes for no justifiable reason but it's okay because I'd do something ridiculous everyday just to see you look so happy.
I want to love you.
But how can you leave so easily? I know that it causes you no pain to just walk away when all I ever want is for you to stay; to forget about sleeping and everything else in the world except you and me. But I know that good things come in small doses so I'll pick up the notebook beside my bed, and I'll write about you instead.
