I love her so much I almost don’t even want to tell her.

I could be content as one of her closest friends, but could I really?

I think my heart might shatter if she were with someone else the way I spend my time daydreaming of how she would be with me.

Should someone love her more than I, then I’ll step aside, they’ll have to excuse me when my heart no longer beats.

I often reminisce on how I realized I was in love with you.

When we looked into each other’s eyes for a breath too long and nothing really changed, but suddenly everything was different.

I know you felt it too, it was far too strong for you to not have. Though it seems like a memory you’ve long forgotten and I’m still desperately clutching onto.

I know I could love you better than anyone ever has if only you would let me. I love you like it’s woven through my DNA, like it’s everything I was ever meant for. Unconditionally, with everything I am, loving you is my purpose.

I’ll admit, I didn’t always know how to handle such strong emotions, and it led to me lashing out for no real reason. But I’ve gotten better at that, I can handle my emotions without getting scared.

I got better for you, everything I’ve done I’ve done for you. I loved you so much I almost didn’t even realize I was in love with you but when I did realize it hit me like a freight train.

(This is rather poorly written but i need something to post today)

I’m often asked why I write so much, why I don’t go out more, why I run my pens dry from ink, why every page in my notebooks are full of poetry, why I don’t take a break, why my hands are always sore from holding my pencil the wrong way, why I don’t hang out with friends.

People ask me a lot of questions, but the main one is, “why do you spend so much time writing?” ,and to answer the question;

I write about the girl I’ve loved for years.

For her, I have nothing but time.

Prehnite deals in love, with its connection to the heart chakra and it's properties to bring forth unconditional love. There's no denying its purpose is to love and be loved in turn, wholly and completely, nothing left to be desired.

I couldn't think of a more befitting fate for a stone that shares the color of your eyes.

I tried to live in a state of disarray to distract myself from thoughts of you, but everything I've loved has reminded me of you.

How could I look up to the stars and not think of how your eyes sparkle? There's a dogwood tree outside my house, you can see it from my balcony, it started flowering a few weeks ago and my first thought was that you would want to see how beautiful it was. I went outside today, and it was windy out, I thought how you'd like this weather.

I saw a pretty view and wished you could see it too, I made brownies and hoped that one day you'd eat them with me again. I hear your voice in birdcalls, I see your smile in sunsets, I hear your laughter in music, I see your tears in the ocean.

I love everything in the world and all of it has reminded me of you.

I don’t intend for every poem I write to be about her, but there is one thing in common between her and poetry.

I will die loving them both with all I am.

I often wondered why I could never seem to let you go. Even when we argue and hurt each other, loving with a passion so fiery that I burned you instead of simply keeping you warm and in my panic, I burned myself too. But at least we have the scars to say that sometimes loving isn't easy.

Just once, I wish you'd look at me the way I look at you.

I hope you think of me every now and then, so it won't feel as pathetic that you've never left my head.
