dear you,

some people have a sort of aura to them that makes them magnets. heads turn, knees are weak, attention is held.

you have that.

I remember feeling the importance, the smallness of my own self. first just a little, a glance in your direction. then, like a flood, my eyes took you in completely.

I knew you were special, I knew I could never measure up.

my head toyed with the idea, how I could make you see me, how I could make you stay.

and you did see me.

but you didn't stay.

love, j
