You’re the first girl I ever felt in my
chest
Hammocking between my littlest ribs
With each swing
My bones creaked
And sang
A violin’s voice
You bumped my heart and made it beat
With every lazy kick of your foot

You’re the first girl
Who’s ever touched my hand
Crocheted your little fingers
In between mine, so
Where I end is where you start
And I feel like I could go on and on
Forever, attached to something this beautiful.

You’re the first girl that
made me fly
I strung my patchwork scarf
Across my back and flapped
My arms
And I had wool wings
And my teeth forced my lips apart and refused to let them meet again
I was laughing
I was soaring
I was Icarus.

You’re the first girl
Who’s made me cry
Big and ugly
Tire marks black
Down my cheeks
Hit and run me over with want
My lungs heave-hoing out oxygen
Like there’s just not enough in the
whole world to fill them

You’re the first girl
That made me feel
On top of the world
And underneath it
All in the same week.

we started talking at 14 and 15
texting back and forth
exploring our feelings for each
other staying up late nights on
the phone getting to know each other

we fell in love at 16 and 17
still exploring that side of each other,
the one that liked girls
you were unsure but
you knew you had feelings for me
i liked you more than anything

we grew apart at 17 and 18
not talking as much
barely speaking to one another
you had a boyfriend at the time
and I still had feelings for you

we reconnected at 18 and 19
rekindled our feelings for one another
because deep down we both knew
we’ll always have feelings for each other
we even made a pact that
if we’re both single in 5 years
that we’d be together
and im hoping that becomes reality

Girl I just wanna kiss you and get lost in it
You're my home away from home and I feel like we fit
Like two puzzle pieces destined to be together
I just wanna be with you no matter the weather
And you know the pain has been real for a while
Been feeling like giving up even though I still smile
But with you by my side I feel like maybe I can win
Being alive is too precious and I can't just give in

I love her smiles oh her smile

It lights up a room, brightens my day

Her laugh, it’s contagious, rich, deep, sweet and pure.

I love the way she steeps, soft, still, peaceful, content.

Her pacing breath a metronome, in out in out in out

Lost in a sea of dreams, her eyes shut tight, her lips a smirk.

I love her eyes, a soft brown, the way they show the way she feels

Lively, burning with passion or solemn, humble and kind.

I love how they light up when she’s talking about things she loves.

I love her hugs, they send tingles up and down my spine

The way her arms fit perfectly around my waist. Her hugs are tight

Like she means it, filled with her passion for me.

I love the way she mindlessly plays with her hair,

Looking off into space, deeply lost in thought.

I love the way she sings to every song that

comes on the radio. The way she opens up and lets the lyrics take her away.

I love when she’s half awake, teetering on the edge

of dreams, how her voice gets higher and her thoughts lose meaning.

She’s so innocent, vulnerable at most. I love how she

trusts me to see that side of her. Her trust in me runs so deep.

She trusts me with her hopes and dreams, her deepest, darkest fears.

It takes so much to open up and she trusted me to break down her walls.

She trusts me not to hurt her, to hold her close and

take away her fears, scare away her demons.

And I will. I promise I will

*Because I love her.
