Growing

Growing up

Love felt like a fantasy

Something that only happens in the movies

Something that I thought

I would never feel

Something I had given up on

***

Then I met her

That’s when everything changed

When I am asked

“What is love?”

I smile, and I say

Love is her

<3

I fell in love with the way you view life

The way you smile when you get excited

The way your eyes glow when you look at me

I fell in love with your laugh

How you get hyper when you’re sleepy

Your goofy moods

I fell in love with your dreams

How motivated you are to achieve them

The way that you know what you want in life

I fell in love with the way you touch me

How gentle you are

The way you listen and understand me

I fell in love with everything about you

And I love every second of it

to new beginnings

I have had a week. I can feel myself falling into that same place I was last year. It is starting to worry me. And I know it is worrying the people that care about me too. I also know that none of them will confront me about it because I am very hot headed right now. I feel like I have lost everything. I lost softball, which is the most important thing in my life. It was my only stress reliever. I have to transfer schools now too. Which means i am losing all of my friends. I have never been closer with a group of people. I love each and every one of them so much, more than I love myself even. leaving them is going to really suck. I know that I need to do this though, it is what is best for me. I have never done anything for me. I don’t even know if I am making the right choice here. I just want to feel happy again. This move could really help me. But, this move could also destroy me.
