the remedy for a broken heart (why am I so in love)

-sixteen infatuation-

her brown locks were flying back in the soft touch of wind
the sun using the last bit of life it had for the day to kiss her skin
turning the smooth olive into a golden brown
her eyes were open and focused on the road, as they should be, but i couldn't help but notice the small glances here and there
the beginnings of a smile were curving onto her lips
dusk was falling
as was i
i was in awe, staring from the other side of the car
the music was pulsating throughout the interior, the beats traveling out of the open windows and getting lost in the wind
the speakers were fearing for the future of their lives
flashes of teeth and eyes, no idea in mind of which was brighter
the various hues of orange, red, yellow, and even purple exploded from the sky
so when she suddenly looked at me, the sunset was painted on her face
but her eyes seemed to have traveled much farther than just from the air above us
they were of another world; ethereal, if you will
she rolled up the windows, eyes wide and bright, hair a complete mess
but i knew she had never looked more alive
she tilted her head at me and gave me one of her infamous half-smiles
and that's when i knew
that's when i knew that after all these months of wishing
and dreaming
and hoping
that somehow
someday
i would be able to give myself to her completely
i knew i already had
i knew from the way my heart swelled at just the thought of her small figure pressed against my body in the tightest hug imaginable
or from how she would never fail to make me smile
even on my darkest days
or from how i craved hearing her laugh
knowing that i was the one that possessed the ability to make her happy
i just knew.
i knew that my heart wasn't in my possession anymore
it was hers.
i believe a part of it will always be hers
whether she knows it, and believes it, or not
it's hard to let something go when you never wanted to in the first place
but i will try
for her.
