Whatever It Takes
Would you believe me if I shouted it at the top of the highest building, hill, and mountain? Would you believe me if I played chicken in a car against the craziest people? Would you believe me if I jumped out of a plane with you, for you, for us? Would you believe me if I did everything on your bucket list with you? Would you believe me if I had every picture we’ve even taken plastered on every wall in every house that I’ve lived in? Would you believe me if I confess my love on every social media that I have? What would it take for you to believe me? I’ve opened up to you about things that I wouldn’t even dare say to myself aloud. I continue to give my all just to make sure that this lasts and we’re both happy. I’ve knocked down every wall imaginable with the doubts of others thinking that you’re going to return the unwanted favor of you “playing” me. I know how it feels to be madly and miserably in love with someone. I’ve never felt this happy pain before. I don’t know what else to say or do, but I will continue to give my all and be here, FOREVER.

Book Lover
Page after page, the distinct smell did not leave her senses. The old, faded pages were soft on the pads of her fingertips until there no longer were any to turn by her gentle touch. The pages were gone and her heart sank a little as she came to the realization that she now has to begin another book and become attached, yet again, to the fictional characters she carried around inside her book bag. She considered them her friends, these characters. She had glimpsed into their lives and they would forever be etched into her memory, up until the day she leaves this world and carries onto the next. And even then, these characters will dance into the stars and be cast back down to the archives of the next generation that will remember them as well. These new souls will be parallel with hers; an audience to the personalities grown on the roots of this earth.
