Dear Soulmate...

Dear Soulmate (if you exist),

There are things you need to know:

A) If I'm singing and you call, I'll probably ignore the call until my song is over.

B) I will never ditch my friends to hang out with you. They are important to me and I don't want to hurt them. I know pain and I hate it.

C) If or when we break up, leave each other, I'll write about it... Like a brunette Taylor Swift... Just so you are forewarned.

D) Don't tell me I look pretty because I'm not. Or beautiful. Or hot. Or anything other than decent.

E) I HATE nicknames. I already have one that I'm fine with. So therefore, another unnecessary.

F) I burst out randomly in facts. It's sporadic and most of the time, I cannot control it. So deal with it.

G) If you say anything and a word or phrase triggers a song in my brain, I will most likely belt out the lyrics to that song.

H) Family is always first. I may not care for them that much, but if something happens, I'll deal with them first, then you.

I) Never, and I truly mean this, never say "I love you". I love you is for people over thirty who have experience and challenges and know what love truly is.

J) I'll listen to your problems. I won't judge or make fun of you. Just tell me. I'll listen. I swear. I get it.

K) EVERY KISS BEGINS WITH KAY *bing*. Gosh, I'm weird. Kissing is a no-go. Unless you kiss me like  Ron and Hermione. Or Spider-Man and Mary Jane. Or Peeta and Katniss. Or Cassia and Ky. Or Jon Cozart. Be Jon. That would make me happy. Or Megamind and Roxanne Richie. Or Eugene and Rapunzel. Or Percy and Annabeth. Or Katniss and Gale. Or Belle and Adam. Or Cinderella and Prince Charming. Or Eric and Ariel. Or Four and Tris. Or Gabriella and Troy. Or Zac Efron. Be Zac. Please. Oh and you can kiss if you're kissing my hand like an old fashioned British gentleman requesting to dance with me during the next song to make you the happiest man in the world. Or a kiss on my cheek to signify that you like me but respect my wishes.

L) Don't take it personally if I ignore you when my headphones are on or my earbuds are in... I love music too much to let it go for you.

M) I draw. A lot. Like a lot a lot for someone who has no artistic skill whatsoever. Nothing I draw is good. I still try no matter how bad I am.

N) If you're going to dump me, just say it. Don't candy-coat it and don't give me that "it's not you, it's me" crap. I don't buy it.

Ñ) It's a Spanish letter. It counts. Be Peter Pan.

O) Reciting (by which I totally mean writing and memorizing... but I mean... pre-written is cool too...) poetry or making random nerdy book references is completely cool to me. XD

P) I prefer email to text. I'm just old fashioned that way, I guess. But above all else, handwritten letters are the bomb. They're fun to get. Fun to write. I love the smell of ink and paper. Ah.

Q) If I randomly say something about a perfect-seeming dude, it's totally normal. I'm not trying to make you jealous. He was like my one and only for like seven years. Most of my memories so far are about him...

R) This is A-Z for a reason. I hope you've picked up on that. If you haven't noticed it yet and we're already to R, BYE!!

S) I talk a lot about everything. Honestly everything. From Star Wars to sperm whales. If I say anything too much, just tell me to shut up. I'll honestly try. It may not work, but I'll try.

T) I don't ever dress to impress. I dress for comfort most of the time. The other part of the time, I'm dressing to depress. I wanna look so good, everyone gets jealous XD

U) If you want to take me out to eat, I don't do well in fancy places. So take me to a fast food place. Or a sports game. They have typical concessions.

V) If I talk about something I wrote just now or in the past, odds are you're going to have to read it.

W) If I complain about school, just agree with me or I will go all debate team on you. Or maybe the purple devil. 😈👿 Whatever mood I'm in.

X) BE REALLY SECRETIVE ABOUT THIS ONE BUUUUUUT I'm secretly a spy disguised as an outcast teenage girl. Don't tell anyone.

Y) If you honestly bought that and you think I'm a spy now, that was a joke and I hoped you laughed. I know I did.

Z) I will randomly be random at random times in random places. I'm also clinically insane. Random outbursts are very likely as is the fact you'll probably not be able to calm me down. Don't call 911!

That's the A-Z autopsy of me. Hope I didn't scare ya away. JK. I totally hope I frightened your pants off.

But about you, I just hope you're who I've always been dreaming of. Someone to dance with in the rain. Someone who will be there to comfort me when I feel like there is no one else there for me. I hope you're there as I travel across the world with the wind in my hair and everything I need on my back. I hope you're there to dance through a field. I hope you're there on a mountain as I enjoy hot chocolate from its icy caps. I hope you're there when I'm at a Japanese anime convention. I hope you're the epic hero Luke Skywalker. I hope you're a nerdy little sh*t like me. I hope you're the thing that keeps me going in my darkest times. I hope you're the favorite song I hear on the radio. I hope you're the spell to my wand. I hope you're the air in my lungs. I hope you're the punch line to my joke. I hope you're the reason I stay up late. I hope you're the youtube videos to my obsession. I hope you're the blush to my embarrassment. I hope you're the ocean to my land. I hope you're the pen to my paper. I hope you're the song that's stuck in my head. I hope you're the harmony to my melody. I hope you're the bass to my tenor. I hope you're the Doctor. I hope you understand that reference. I hope you're the prince to my princess. I hope you're the disney movie to my imagination. I hope you're the pillow to my head. I hope you're always there to catch me. I hope you're the one who won't leave. I hope you're the blood to my veins. I hope you're the lesson to my textbook. I hope you're everything.

Love,

Ell
