I want to write you.

I want to write your laugh.
I want to capture your skirts
And your caring
And your emotions
And the youth and love and lack thereof.

I want to write you.
Not about you or of you.
You.

I want my pen to illuminate your eyes
And paint in your freckles.

I want to make a thousand words
To level out your picture.

Please, let me.

Let me scribble down your squeals
And etch out your tears.

Allow me to pen your very existence onto my paper.
It means everything to me.

© Andrea J., Marblehead, MA

I have a friend who wants to protect me from everything. I'm grateful for her. I've tried writing her so many times; it's just impossible. I always miss some detail. She means everything to me.
