Intoxicated
You are like a pack of cigarettes. You make me fall once again for your big and bold promises: “You are more than anything’, “It is different now”, “I am sorry.” They are covered in pixie dust and as I hear every sentence, every syllable, my heart starts pounding… but I know, deep down in my bones, that I have to quit you. For the last time. Forever. And I always start quitting you from the day after, but who am I kidding. Tomorrow is too soon, isn’t it? I will start on Monday.

Endowed
I’m the girl that goes unnoticed, day after day. The one you silently pass in the hallway every day, her head always down, clothes faded together like the scenery on a foggy morning. The girl no one ever bothers to wave or say hi to, and never hangs out with a group of friends in the hall. I’m the same girl that sits at Jerry’s Diner every night reading a book or writing in a notebook, always alone at the table, sipping on a tea or soda. Although no one notices me, I silently sit and watch others around me. I notice their emotions, and their body language. Sometimes, I can see their emotions, and see their thoughts. Maybe I’m just crazy, but that’s just another thing you wouldn’t notice.

Sex Roles #1: You Are a Straight Male. You Are a Hugger.
This article will be the first of a series. Let me speak for myself only. I’ll be the baseline for this one. I’m a hugger. I wrap my wife in my arms and tell her I love her whenever the mood arises. She would have to be in a receptive mood, of course, but if she is ... watch out. I’m out for bear as I appreciate her more than I could ever express verbally. And I want her to know.

How We Make It Work
I'm not going to lie, it has been hard at times.We feel like we are an oddity sometimes because both of us were virgins before meeting each other and we had not even dated anyone else before. We had really only been friends for about 2 weeks when we started dating. S and I worked together and the first year I didn't really even like him because he and his friends were the good employees that knew how to do everything fast and without help. I was 16 and it was my first job. I wasn't as fast as some of the other people, and I wasn't the pretty one either.

You're Perfect on Paper, So Why Don't I Like You?
Recently I made a new friend. I was introduced to him through a mutual friend and he’s pretty dang awesome. We’ll call my new friend Carter. Carter is pretty great, we immediately hit it off (I’m pretty sure he hits it off with most people) and we’ve hung out several times in a group and a couple of times just the two of us. I have zero idea if he sees me as anything other than a friend. But that’s not the point of this article. The point of this article is... he’s kind of great on paper, yet I don’t feel anything for him, except that he’s a cool dude. And believe me, “cool dude” basically equates to the friendzone. *For the record I believe the friendzone is when Person A specifically tells Person B how they feel and Person B responds with telling Person A they are such a good friend (cool dude) or they are like a sibling to them* so he’d only end up in the “friendzone” if he expressed romantic interest in me... but I digress.

There's One Person That Made Me
There’s one certain person that makes me who I am. The same person not only makes me want to be better than I was a second earlier, but also wants to make the world more beautiful than a blink ago. She’s the one closet to my heart and I know I'm in her heart. I might want to be the one that she gives her heart to completely, but lord knows I’ll never deserve the grandest prize in this word because I’ll never deserve it. Hell, sometimes I wonder if I even deserve calling her a friend. We only get one chance at this thing we call life. Sadly, her past hasn’t been so sunny because of people's actions, but ever since I've been around the angel, I’ve tried my best to make sure her skies were only sunny and helped her reach for the skies. And til the day that I'm no longer on this planet lord knows that I’ll be the protector of her world. Even when I make it, I’ll pass up the award shows just to watch them on the tv as we order in some pizza and show down on some drinks and candy. Oh by the way when she wins her awards I’ll be the one I promise you this, when she walks on the stage for her awards I’ll be the one clapping the loudest. She's beautiful 360 degrees. Damn winner of miss universe right there and whatever talent show she goes on as well. I look into her eyes and can’t help but to stare into perfection, yet I see the pain and tears she tries to hide from my own eyes. I try my best to get her to open up and to find a way to vanish those demons. Her past makes it hard, however her protector is stronger. I may look like I'm just like everyone else but trust me when you cross her, I’ll become your worst nightmare and her savior. I'm gonna ask her how do I cheer you up, even though she always says the next time I ask she’s gonna punch me in my throat, and she's gonna say nothing or it’s impossible. Deep down she's knows I'm gonna prove that the word impossible is just simply saying I'm possible. And that by the time I tell her good night sleep tight have a good day she’s gonna smile at least once or twice. I ain't gonna show those wanna be’s and fakers any mercy for hurting my number one in the whole wide world. By the way since I mentioned it a second ago, I tell her good night sleep tight have a good day, every night. It doesn’t matter if I call her, like that night I was out of town and my internet went down, if I call text her phone, like that night I was out of phone minutes, if I Facebook her like I do on the nights I don’t get the honor and privilege of looking into her stunning eyes, or if I tell her face to beautiful face that simple phrase, which is simply perfection… just like her. God, I must have done that since June. I do it for simple reasons. I tell her good night hoping that no matter how bad of a day she had since I told her that she’ll have a good night. I tell her sweet dreams hoping that her dreams will be as sweet as her and the nightmare she faces throughout the sun time don’t creep around in the dark. I tell her have a good day, simply hoping that tomorrow will be good if not great or perfect for her. There’s one certain person that makes me who I am. She’s the girl I love.
