things i'll never say out loud

in words and ink.

Don't make the girl with the love for literature fall in love with you.

with the girl who has her power when she has a pen in hand

for you will be her inspiration.

Late at night, papers smeared with ink

she will try to come up with the loveliest poems

to make you smile and heart flutter

just like what happens to her when she see's

you coming up to her to say "hello"

She will write letters.

letters that start with "Dear You," and ends it

with "Love," then signs her name.

Eventually, she will get embarrassed about it so

she either crumples it or throws it away

making new sets of them but never had the courage to give them to you.

Don't make her fall for you,

for she will write prose.

essays and paragraphs about your wonderful traits

constructing every word carefully to make

a sentence that perfectly fits your personality.

Taking and looking at every word, wondering if it's the right

sets of letters that describes the boy she fell for.

Don't make her fall for you,

because she will make stories of alternate universes just to check if one

of those alternate universe is a universe that she will see that you will end up

with her.

Please I beg, don't make her fall for you,

you will be the only constant thing in her diary at night

writing about how you were a part of her day.

Don't make her fall for you,

she will lose her strength in words, mumbling and tripping over

her well thought out speech as she forgets every syllable and letter

in the alphabet when she comes face to face with you.

I said it before and I'll say it again, please don't let the girl with a fire of literature

fall for you.

The day came that you knew about her feelings,

you apologized and said it's better if she just forget about you.

she knows she can't because now, every word was used, every syllable was said,

the alphabet seems to always twist and spell your name

and suddenly she looked at her words,

All of them now was all about you, a boy she loved dearly but didn't love her back.

she will never forget him,

for he and his memories will always live in between her paper and ink.
