To the five boys who make every second of my life worth living. I love you.
**CT4**
When you were little I’d say, with a smirk and a grin, ‘all the girls are sure going to love you!’
You’d smile so wide and with the cutest of lisps, say “cause my eyes are so big and so blue!”
You’re older now but your eyes are the same, though they’ve already seen far too much.
You watched as your mama nearly b...
For the first 6months of living in Hollywood, I stayed at hotels using money I took, and went to the free clinic for checkups on the kid. I had been very happy when I found out she was a girl. I wanted to name her Hope, but if she were a boy, I would've figured something out.
The only thing I missed was my sister, Mary. And having my own bed. However, once I turned 15, I was able to apply for e...
Counting the ways I love you
Is not like counting stars
Or charting constellations
To navigate by
But like counting raindrops.
They keep coming
As long as the cloud is overhead.
They form puddles on my sidewalks
Pour through the leak in my roof
Flood my basement
And with great effort, if you asked,
I could clear the waters
With an eye dropper,
scientifically, day by day,
But for now I simply...
No, i couldn’t count those ways,
they’re so many that i summarized them in one.
I love you by valuing you every day.
Then, everything else by itself comes.
That’s why we only love once.
our love is so real,
that if we try too much we might fail.
we give 50/50 but i feel like i give 10.
and you say “girl, you are a 10!”
I know love is not a feeling,
i know love is a decision.
We decide to respect o...
My heart is overflowing to my brain,
you swarming my thoughts until I ache.
I want to kiss you a million times,
and say yes to your crystal green eyes.
Our souls are intertwined,
knitting together by our very connection.
The love I feel for you is so powerful,
so precious,
so tender,
so innocent,
so true.
I love you.
Every moment I see your brown hair,
I hope you come barring a ring for my fi...
1. The way a child loves the friend they made on the playground-instantly and without hesitation.
2. Like a dog loves the one who raised him from a puppy-fiercely protective and loyal.
3. As one loves a friend they’ve known since grade school- endlessly and abundantly.
4. As a schoolgirl loves her very first crush- tentatively and oh so hopefully.
5. The way a man loves his first love- gently ...
If you counted the ways
You are obsessed with me
You’d run out of numbers
But if I were to count
I’d reach 0
You’re a creep
Stop asking for photos
Of my unclothed body
You’re a creep
Stop asking for my clothes
Stop saying you want to
Impregnate me
You’re such a creep
You’ll be singing
“I’m not a groomer just a loser”
In a few years...
If I count the ways I love you, I would need more fingers
more limbs
I promise, this is no whim
If I count the ways I love you
I may lose my breath
Or you may take mine
With you I lose time
Convincing myself im fine
Fascinated by your every movement
Clinging to your every word
This obsession is absurd
When will the sheep part from the herd...
