2.24.14

2.24.14

Today we didn't talk.

We never do, though.

I kept glancing at you because something seemed different.

Are you friends with Marina again?

What about Gillian?

You have a whole array to choose from.

I was just one in the deck of cards you hold.

 

I made eye contact with you on accident in the hallway.

I smiled real quick but I could feel that it didn't reach my eyes.

Did you notice?

 

I don't fully blame you  for not paying attention to me.

I'm not even a **** in a flower garden.

I'm a dust particle really.

There are far more wondrous orbs to behold out in the cast gallery of time an space.

 

Remember the day late in the afternoon when I bared myself to you?

I remember.

You did it before I could even stop you.

But I didn't feel completely wrong because I loved you, I think.

I let you see me in ways no one had seen me before.

 

My feelings were in your hands from day one, I want you to know.

Everything I had was yours the moment I confessed love.

I never told you that Josh helped me get you to say that you loved me.

Did you mean it?

Or were you in love with the idea of being in love?

 

I think I love you.

But we are only teenagers, dear.

We can't possibly know the meaning of the word.

Do you know the true definition?

Because not even the dictionary does.

I think I was in love with your hair or your ice blue eyes.

I loved your laugh, the slow tentative kind that would interrupt you when you spoke.

 

Your personality was a bit grey, though.

I can only imagine how bad I was.

So as you guys have been noticing probably, I am writing a series of letters. These are the letters I have been writing down on paper since we've not talked....a small part of me hopes he sees it and another part of me hopes he doesn't...
