For the girl in the orange socks
I prefer to wear my heart on my collar just so you see it skip a beat each time you peck my cheeks
I wish I could connect my veins to your brain and my arteries to your fingertips so we know what we feel for each other
Sometimes it seems like we’re still trapped in an hour glass, must have been the closest thing we did to spending eternity together.
You let me cover every inch of you with finger paintings, just to show me it can be fun watching paint dry.
I like that you’re sweet in a weird kind of way, like ice cream in winter.
Sometimes I etch your name on the branches of winter trees, hoping I would hear it in the wind from summers leaves.
I like the way your hair sleeps on your shoulders, like your ears have been reciting bed time stories.
We’re like shoe laces in key holes, odd but a perfect fit.
Now and again I try to steal a little bit of cloud, I know how you get each time I get to nine.
But for now all I can do is jumble alphabets till I find a combination worthy of you.
