One,
If I could keep you in my line of sight all day and night, I would. I would pin my own body to the clouds in hopes that you could keep me in yours as well.
Two,
If I could come up with the amount of money it would take to fly us to Brazil like you always wanted, we could be on a plane in forty five minutes.
Three,
If I could set your laugh as my ringtone, I would because whenever someone calls me with bad news, my ears would be blessed before they are cursed, and hearing your laugh would break the fall.
Four,
If I could choose the way I had to die, I would choose to be stabbed in the heart with one of my broken promises because then I would be able to bleed out my apologies and reasons why I should've treated you better.
Five,
If I could say one last phrase before my ability to speak was stolen from me, I would tell you that I love you because I didn't say it enough before.
Six,
If I could strangle the man who is waking up next to you, I would. Maybe not strangle, but run out of town. I would run him out because you and me both know that when you're with him that your smile isn't genuine.
Seven,
I've lost so many hours of sleep over this to the point where if I could find the time to catch up on my sleep, you'd still be in my dreams.
Eight,
Circling back to the pictures, if I could take every photo on your socials with him down, I would because I can't tell if he's hurting you or me more, but in the grand scheme of things, you are more important than me.
Nine,
If I could hold your hand once more, just to feel like they are two puzzle pieces meant to go together, I would because I'm missing some part of me and I don't know where else to find it, but in you.
Nine,
I can't count right when I get so worked up like this, but if I could bottle your happiness, I would drink it until my vision gets blurred and someone calls me an Uber.
Ten,
If I could guess where the key you wear around your neck goes to, I would guess that it goes to my heart because the moment you left, my heart stopped beating, and my blood ran cold.
One,
If I could find the courage to call you, I would. I would tell you that I miss you and your half awake early morning kisses and your pancakes you made every other Sunday that smelled like a Food Network show, and I don't even know what I'm saying anymore, but all I know that I can say that still makes sense is that I love you, Kirstin Maldonado.
