To the girl who gets to love her
She's like the thickest sheet of glass you'll ever meet. Strong, easily cracked but never broken. Be careful with her heart, it's been through a lot. Always reassure her how important she is to you and how you love the way she looks in the sweatpants she thinks she wears too much. When you go to Starbucks, always get her tea, she doesn't really like coffee. And make sure the tea is hot.
When it's 10PM and she asks you "what do you want to do?" make sure you say something because if you don't, she'll park the car in a Walmart parking lot until you think of something to do.
Banana splits are her favorite and yes, she can eat all of it by herself. She loves scary movies so watch them with her even if you hate them cause it'll make her happy.
When she massages you, it'll feel like comfort is radiating through her fingertips and into your bones.
When she pulls you in for a hug, stay there for a bit before you pull away. Take all of her in. Become familiar with her scent until it feels like home. Engross yourself in her arms and let her know that your body was made to fit in hers.
When you argue and she tells you to give up on her, don't listen to her. Don't walk away from the best thing that's ever happened to you. Fight for her, because she's worth every glorious thing this world has to offer. You may not believe in God but you feel religion when you're with her.
When you want to have a deep conversation with her, take her to the park.
Walk along the trails at night and listen to the way she thinks. Listen to how she lists the things she loves and watch her eyes light up as she says your name.
Look at her how she looks at the stars because she's the brightest thing you've laid eyes upon.
Don't make her feel bad about her emotions and know that before you her heart has been shattered.
When she's distant, make sure she's okay, give her space and don't get mad when she says it's because she thought about her ex.
Don't you dare hurt her. Know that you're the luckiest person in the world if she lets you love her. You have your whole universe right in front of you, don't fuck it up. Because if you do you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
And last but not least, tell her that you fucking love her. Tell her about the cage of butterflies she unlocks in your stomach every time she looks at you. Tell her that she lives in your head and you wouldn't have it any other way. Tell her about every flower that reminds you of her. Tell her that if she ever broke your heart, you wouldn't mind because you'd rather be hurt by her than love anyone else. Tell her before it's too late and you're writing a letter to the next person who gets to love her. Just fucking tell her.
