It’s Portfolio Day, so just a reminder that my commissions are open! 

I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking  “I would love some art of my OC or favorite character, but look at me! I’m on Tumblr! I had to pay my rent last month with pocket lint and a toad i found in the backyard! I don’t have MONEY!” 

Don’t worry, my friend! 

Prices are cheap! Lineart of any character is only £5! That’s $5.95 USD! 

“$5.95 USD!” you cry. “That’s only the price of a fancy coffee or novelty rubber duck!” 

That’s right! And if you want something a little fancier, you can get a full body, full colour, full shading art of a character of your choice for just £15/ $17.86! That’s less than 20 bucks! What a bargain! What a deal!

“Who’s the real you? The person who did something awful, or the one who’s horrified by the awful thing you did? Is one part of you allowed to forgive the other?”

I don’t believe in soulmates, but I believe in her

There’s thousand words I could’ve said

But I didn’t

There’s a thousand things I could’ve done

But I haven’t

I’m beginning to suspect I’d be having better luck if we had never met

That, maybe, there’s no universe where we could be us

Maybe we aren’t written in the stars I can see from my bedroom window

I almost know I’m not the one you day dream about, but you can’t blame a fool for wishing

I’ve got that lost look in my eye again, don’t I?

This time, however, I want to run away with you and leave this city in our wake.

How can you stare at the moon with more reverence than anyone’s ever given you? Do you, too, dream about the stars above? Wondering what it might feel like to get as close as you can to them? I do, too. I think they feel like how I do when I get close to you.

The sun that shines is displayed as a glow on the face, as the universe glows in your eyes. Your soul is the solace everyone needs when there is none to be seen. The freckles dotting your face are constellations, telling stories of love that I long to live through. The pupils of your eyes are vast galaxies, made from stardust and fire, trapping me in their wake.

The best decisions of my life have come to be because I asked myself, “why not?”

It seems I’m always holding my breath

Waiting for something bigger than me to take place

Something I’m just holding on control to

Something I’ve been bruised and bloodied for.

How can you introduce yourself to someone you’ve known for years?

How can you reveal your soul in a way that you never have before?

How can one begin to comprehend that I’ve turned myself inside out looking for a way to see if I’m capable of what I need to do?

I wish my body was capable of holding more oxygen, perhaps then this would be easier.

Could it ever be?

I let myself fall, like Icarus flying at last, laughing as I spread my wings

I let out my breath.

I must confess, this is uncharted territory for me.

To have someone who loves so unconditionally, who cares without suspicion, who smiles so freely.

I’m terrified and elated, nervous but thrilled. Contradictions are something I’m used to, but not to this extent.

I’m trying not to let my natural suspicion get in the way, let my nerves ruin this, but I fear a misstep might run me off this ledge.

Although, it’s ignorant to think that. You’ve made it clear I couldn’t simply ruin this in one move, but that does little to scare these feelings away.

I know I’ve said it a thousand times, but I’ll say it a thousand more so you truly understand.

I love you.

I felt you breathe today.

It was better than any poetry I could’ve ever written.

Your name,

although shared with many others,

always leads me back to you.

Your eyes,

although the color might seem boring to you,

are the most brilliant blue I’ve ever seen.

The way you look at me takes my breath away,

and I’m always the first to look away.

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul,

and I know what you can see in mine,

as my feelings are plain,

but I’m afraid I’ve never been good at seeing them in others.

So,

you’re going to have to spell it out for me,

darling,

if what I’m seeing is true.

(and with everything I have, I hope it is)

Looking up at you, I realize how easy it would be to kiss you. Sitting next to you, I see how easy it would be to grab your hand with mine. How easy it would be to play with your hair, how easy it would be to tell you everything.

Neither of us are sure what we are, are we friends or something more?

How much eye contact, secret stares when the other isn’t looking, smiling and flirting will it take for the rope to bend?

It seems we’re trying to find out. I say, why don’t we take the leap and allow these easy things to come to life?

Talking with you feels natural, as if I’ve met you before. Of course, I never have, because then I wouldn’t have been so enchanted when I first met you. Or maybe I would have, since this feeling doesn’t seem to be going away. The way your face lights up when you laugh never fails to catch my attention, then again, nothing else does when you’re in the room. In a crowd of a million people, you’d still be the first I’d see.

I don't ever think you'll know how much you mean to me. Around you, my smile gets brighter, but you wouldn't know, would you? You only know me when I'm around you, you only know the best version of myself; the one with you. Of course, that's not fair. It was you who made me want to change. So, perhaps you have seen me when I didn't have you, and perhaps you understand why I never want to be that person again. I want to be the version of myself that only exists when you look at me, beaming with pride, even if I haven't done anything. As if you've seen into my future, and are already proud. You aren't the one who changed me, but you are the one who made me want to change, and I can never thank you enough.

For someone who can string and bend words together, I find myself unable to explain just how I feel about you. All I know, is that I love you. You’re the only thought in my mind, the only beat in my heart, my only love.

Happy ever after looks good on you. I can see you now, walking down the aisle, smiles and tears all over the room. I never believed in this fairy tale kind of love, but when I’m around you, it all becomes real. Just your smile makes my heart stop beating, but your laugh brings me to life. You alight fireworks inside me, and as cliche as it sounds, it’s true. I can’t wait to spend happy ever after with you.

In the dead of the night I find myself wondering. Wondering if you ever think about me, wondering if you still care. If I told you how much I regret how we ended, would you laugh at me? Tell me everything happens for a reason? Or would you smile that smile you only used to give me and tell me you’ve missed me too. I still miss you like a limb and even if I’m certain we ended for a reason, I can’t stop myself from wondering if you want to begin again as much as I do.

I find myself praying for the first time in years. My hands clasped in the forgotten position as I ask a god I’m not even sure I believe in for one more day. One more day with you, and I promise I’ll say all the words I wanted to say. One more day, and I swear I’ll love you right. That’s all I want, just one day. My hands shake, but I’m not finished yet. I need one more day to prove that I can be the person you always wanted me to be, always needed me to be. Just one more day, I beg, one more day.
