you are twinkling christmas lights over a snow-covered city.
you are the smell of the pavement right after it rains.
you are the silent hum of a hummingbird's wings.
you are the toothless grin of a month old baby.
you are the punchline to the funniest joke ever told.
you are the satisfaction of doing everything just right.
you are the shadow of an old church in the middle of summer.
you are the love letter a newlywed husband gives to his wife.
you are the crumpled pages of a book that has been read over and over again.
you are the cool breeze that blows through pretty girls' hair during the spring.
you are the ladybug that lands on the shoulder of a young boy.
you are the feeling one gets after they've had their first kiss.

you are everything that makes this world such a beautiful place.

i have a killer headache right now.
i'm tired.
i'm so tired.
but yet all i can think of is you.

d.l.b.

i really think he likes me

happiness
joy
fulfillment
wonder
anxiety
despair

i really think he hates me*

d.l.b.

i had a dream about you last night. i came to your show to surprise you and i sat in the second row. you came onstage and saw me and you smiled and i smiled and then you came down and sat behind me in the third row and put your hands over my eyes. you said you had a present for me. then i woke up. i don’t know what my present was. maybe you were going to tell me that you loved me. i don’t know.

d.l.b.

i watched you in a video today.
guess what happened.

nothing.

nothing happened.
my heart didn't start to race,
my palms didn't start to sweat,
my cheeks didn't begin to blush,
nothing.

it felt wrong.
like i needed to be doing something i wasn't.
i used to do all those things.
what happened?

d.l.b.

you're the best friend i've ever had.
you're understanding,
and kind,
and you always know just what to say.
you help me to believe in myself,
and you always make me smile.
there's nobody else quite like you.

but i wish you didn't live so far away.
and i wish i could hug you all the time.
i can't wait to see you again.
you're the best friend i've ever had.
and i love you.

d.l.b

i got us all matching bracelets today
i hope when you wear them,
you are reminded that i love you
and i will always be here
no matter what
