December 15th
Dear boy with the sparkling eyes,
You cracked another joke today that made tears burst free and my sides ache like I did way too many sit-ups. And once I started laughing, your fingertips found the sensitive skin on either side of my waist and sent me into another fit of giggles. I saw the you that I had met at the beginning of the school year, the you that had been hidden behind a pain filled mask of complete desperation. It's been a long time since I've seen you laugh like that you know, since I've seen that wide and breathtaking grin that lights up your entire face. Just the mere sight of it made my heart speed up in a way I don't recognize.
From the girl with aching sides.
