Boy you’ve got under my skin in more ways than I can begin to comprehend. I’m listening to old love songs that a girl in my past listened to on repeat alone in her room. No matter how I try to speak the words, only echos of my past run out. I want to speak new words to you to describe how I’m feeling, because It’s been so long since I’ve felt this spark. That I’m willing to sit through an entirety of hell or The Great Lebowski just to see you smile. I’ve walked the brimstone paths holding hands with my own personal demon, and fed the light in my soul to his darkness. I allowed my words to be poured out and sacrificed, so that now I cannot say a simple thought. Like how I find myself lacking dreams at night, because you make my waking world a full of wonder. That for once in my life my brain has kicked it’s realism, and is unabashedly following my heart's orders. That I’ve never once followed a person down such an uncertain path, yet felt so certain about the emotions I feel. No matter how many footsteps I take into a new world here, I find my heart safe in a small corn fed town. In your hands I feel all the tiny little cracks being soldered with gold filling, and turning into something even more beautiful than before you touch it.
I will admit that sometimes the echos of the people around me shouting “It will never work” and their forlorn faces when your name comes out of my mouth, make me question my sanity. That everything about us is based on probability; no matter how much stronger I feel connected to you each day. One day I can wake up and every plan laid before us stripped bare by a weak resolve or lack of fight left. Maybe your heart is taken a new direct path, and found happiness you deserve more than anyone I’ve met. Or maybe the thrill of this cold city I live in doesn’t speak to your soul as it does mine, and a consensus is never met. More than anything I fear the inability to have you in my arms just once more and allow these strangling feelings bleed from my fingertips. It’s scary to think these words may never leave my mouth, and I cannot hold you as I say them.
Even on my lighter days, the “what ifs” seem to eat at my brain. However as a single though rockets it’s way through my waking conscious, you are there immediately to cast it aside. Without knowing about the sandstorm of thoughts filling my head with weightless imperfections, You still manage to calm the calamity and hand my thoughts a respirator. You’re every single thing I could ask for, and quickly became something I cannot fathom to live without. That in the end I have every hope and trust that I will see you again. I have too much love in my heart and resolve in my mind to ever let someone as light as you slip from my world. So through all the difficulties in front of us, this is my promise to keep fighting for you. I promise to never break you heart, and if it isn’t in the Universe’s plan for us to be together I’ll fucking make it happen, my Pirate King.

Sometimes in life we come across a lush hedge. The detail is miraculous and the idea of overcoming this feat seems unbearable, but we muster up the courage to take on the task. When I was greeted with this hedge I stayed along the path hopping i could find an easy way in. To no luck i learned to slowly pick at it day by day, night by night, and no matter the weather i continued, dawn till dusk. I was falling and i needed a way to let someone in. It was no longer about getting to the other side, it was about getting them to my side. It had grown green with plants, flowers and life as i aged and now it was time to once again to transform into something new. Life was simple, and i needed complex. Life was dull and i needed beauty. Life was lonely and i needed unity, i needed one person, i needed...
She was quivering, watching her real opportunity for leaving altogether, she said as she left him. Skunks like that take a lot of killing. But look here, how could he have got at. That all people should study the welfare of other. He rang the bell after paying off the taxi. The deceased, he said, suffered from a weak heart, of this matter, and welcome anything that may lead cheerful and well-balanced disposition. The latter took up a large, curved conch shell, its heavy features, but he was afraid to look animation of the womens world.
