I love being horribly straightforward. i love sending reckless text messages because how reckless can a form of digitized communication be? and telling people i love them and telling people they are absolutely magical humans and i cannot believe they really exist. i love saying, kiss me harder, and you're a good person, and you brighten my day. i live my life as straight-foward as possible.
because one day, i might get hit by a bus.
maybe it's weird. maybe it's scary. maybe it seems downright impossible to just be to just let people know you want them, need them, feel like, in this very moment, you will die if you do not see them, hold them, touch them in some way whether it's your feet on their thighs on the couch or your tongue in their mouth or your heart in their hands.
but there is nothing more beautiful than being desperate.
and there is nothing more risky than pretending not to care.
we are young and we are human and we are beautiful and we are not as in control as we think we are. we never know who needs us back. we never know the magic that can arise between ourselves and other humans.
we never know when the bus is coming.
And holy fuck, if you care about someone, tell them. tell them until your throat is sore and their eyes are watering and neither of you can talk anymore. tell them until your emotions run out and there's nothing left to say. tell them everything you feel about them, don't leave one bit out. kiss them. hug them. hold their hand. savour every moment you have with them, because one of life's biggest regrets is not doing these things when you have the chance. you never know which moment with them will be your last. you never know when your story will end, so make every single chapter one that you both will want to remember.
if you care about someone please, for the love of god, let them know, just let them know.
