Favorite Quote:
If my love were an ocean,
there would be no land.
If my love were a dessert,
you'd see only sand,
If my love was a star-
at night, only light.
And if my love could grow wings,
I'd be soaring in flight.
-Hannah Baker, Thirteen Reasons Why


You,
Oh God just you,
whenever I see you,
my heart stops,
beating...

your gaze so stricken with depth
so serious,
yet so kind,
and just so
gentle...

your deep brown eyes
so captivating,
like the blind lights on a car
or the beauty of life,
your eyes,
captivating...

with deep brown hair
that matches your eyes,
Could you be more perfect?
Yes, but there are small
flaws...

Is that even possible,
for such a boy like you?
Your shy, so shy,
your shyness meeting that
of a dormant
child...

But a child, you are not,
you are a man,
a boy,
a beautiful boy,
full of intricate fragility,
that I'm afraid to break
you...

Although I'm breaking myself,
so full of cracks,
that I'm leaking pain,
sadness,
loss...

I'm afraid that if I reach out,
and you cringe away,
I'll just fall apart,
because you my dear,
your only a crush,
a wish,
a dream...

and if you push me away,
there will be nothing left of me,
only the sadness,
the pain,
the loss,
but most of all,
regret...
