Its 3:26 am. The house sits still, dark, but warm as the blizzard rages outside the bay window. You can hear the faint pops as Movement’s Feel Something spins quietly in the corner of the room… I woke up this morning missing you more than I usually do. My stomach’s been in knots since the day I left to come back home, and I know it sounds stupid, but since I can’t call you, I find myself replaying the sound of your voice in my head. I don’t want to forget what it sounds like.
They told me that I was never allowed to fall in love. That if I were to find such love I’d be sent away and forgotten about, as if I was just some piece of trash. They made life as I knew it a lonely existence. But something happened when I met you… and those late nights we spent talking, the time that we shared together, love snuck up on us. I fell in love with the way that you looked at me, the way you held my hand, and the way I smiled the night of our first kiss. I knew it was love because for the first time ever, I was willing to risk the security of my own home to be with you. This modern day forbidden love is anything but romantic, but it’s these late nights text conversations, and planning our secret meetings that make the time that we spend away from each other worth it. As cheesy as it sounds, I cannot wait until the day we don’t have to hide our love. I wanna show the world how happy you make me. Until then, I’ll see you soon.
Te amo
