No Love to Give

A single word left her lips.

"Why?"

A million thoughts ran through my head. I could write a whole book on why she's perfect.

Her laugh is beyond belief- every time I hear it I'm breathless. The cute giggles when she hears a corny joke that's not even funny. She'll laugh at anything, just because she thinks it's hilarious. She's so perky and happy all the time. How she's trying to get other people to smile because she cares. She knows what it's like to feel so hopeless, and she doesn't want anyone else to feel that way.

It's the way she can make anything grow with just some encouragement even if it's just some grass. It's like she has this touch of life, bringing not only plants back to life but also people. Also me. I was nothing before I found her and now she means everything to me.

Which is why I can't tell her.
