"The best gift you are ever going to give someone — the permission to feel safe in their own skin. To feel worthy. To feel like they are enough."

- Hannah Brechner

I've drank until my stomach hurt, bought flowers for funerals, slept in hospital beds, kissed sad girls happy.
I've filled my lungs to brim with smoke and decay, fallen for ugly hearts, walked home barefoot with heels in my hand, had so many loves.
He has something unlike any other, with his ***** hands and bright brown eyes and dark blonde hair. Like a flower in the midst of a rainstorm or a suit or the kind of boy you would adore in movies and go to bed dreaming about and be sad that you couldn't find him anywhere around here.
He's the only one that's made me feel secure with one person.

I oathed never to share that space,
Either because I pretended to hate it.
Or
But,
All the while,
secretly reserved it for you.

I never noticed you
Till you talked to me in class
You were always kind to me
Not wanting a piece of ***

We didn't talk much
But that was okay
You made me laugh almost every
Single day.

I told god that I was done looking for love that it had to come to me
Two days later
There was a miracle in geometry

He asked me to be his girl..
I was shocked and nervous
and didnt know what to say
So I told him I think about it for a day

I gave him my number
And I gave him my answer
Now we been dating for 5 months
And we've been happier than ever
