i am good with words. i'm not saying this to brag, to boast, to prove to you how excellent i am. it's just a fact: i am very good with words. i like writing them, i like reading them, i like saying them. i like when they are strung together like pretty pearls to form sentances that change the way the world appears, if only for a moment.

you are very good with words. not so much writing them, maybe, but you speak eloquently and you enjoy reading as much as i do, which is to say that you would rather read than breathe. 

i saw you for the second time since we've started whatever it is we're doing and you said 'hi' and i couldn't find words. i couldn't find air in my lungs and i couldn't make my tongue move enough to articulate anything. 

i finally said 'hello'.

i like words that sound like what they are. words like 'lovely', which sounds like lace and summer afternoons and picnics and sunrises. you now use the word 'lovely', tangible proof of my impact on you. 

all i have of you is your words. that sounds silly, to have built a person from strings of meaningless symbols, letters, and it's even more ridiculous to have fallen for such a person that exists almost entirely within the context of such words. but i have. does that make me silly, stupid?

maybe. 

you use words very well. i know the depths of your affection for her, i know your goals and dreams, i know what you find humorous. i know you, and i only know that because of those precious words you share with me.

sometimes they cut right through me, sad sentences that make me desperate to offer you more than words, to give you physical contact to remind you that it's okay to be sad sometimes.

you make me feel like words aren't enough.

i love words, and i'm good at using them. but you make me doubt all that and maybe it's for the better.

maybe you're for the better.

Sacrifice is the greatest type of love. Sometimes, you get lost in how much you love someone and you sacrifice too much. Sometimes, you don't sacrifice anything; You say you do, but in reality, You don't.

23 Days. Over 9000 miles. 1 girl I love. I miss you. I'm doing my best not to worry about you seeing him. I promise. Even though I'm quite certain I have nothing to worry about anyway.

I honestly think that if you wanted no strings sex with me, I would say yes.

I'll take whatever part of me you want to give.

you're at a superbowl party at your friends house right now. i'm sitting on my computer, procrastinating. we're dating......shouldn't we be together right now?! I haven't seen you since last night and i don't like it. and its international kissing day. WHY AREN'T YOU IN MY BED RIGHT NOW. 

Last night you were at my house. We baked cupcakes. We messed them up so bad we decided to give up and went up to my room. We were laying on my bed and you were being so adorable. You put a blanket over my head and pulled it back and kissed me upside down. You scooped me up into your arms and moved me so we could cuddle. You put my hair behind my ear. For someone who I thought was so oblivious, you put guys in chick flicks to shame. I honestly don't know where you get it. Its so adorable.

I am not going to analyze anything about us. I won't compare you to other boys I've been with, I won't wonder how long we'll last, I won't think about our future or about our end. All that will only take away from the moment and the happiness I feel when I'm with you. So please do the same, and everything else we'll just let happen.

why were you staring as you walked by?

I should be doing my homework, but I'm too busy worrying about you. I hope you're okay. Please know that I love you. Good God do I ever love you. And please know that you can talk to me - okay? You can tell me anything, I will listen. I am always here for you. I don't know where this life is going to take us, I don't know where we will be ten years from now. If I had my way, we would be together forever. No matter where we go in life, just know that you will always be in my heart, and if you ever feel alone please just call me. I'll be here. Always. Waiting.
