i'll try to make you not have to read that letter

pretty much the day I met her

i wish that without me you'd be spending the rest of your nights awake

all i know is that you're so nice
you're the nicest thing i've seen
i wish we could give it a go
see if we could be something

i wish i was your favorite girl
i wish you thought i was the reason you are in the world.
i wish my smile was your favorite kind of smile.
i wish the way that i dress was your favorite kind of style
i wish you couldn't figure me out
but you'd always want to know what i was about
i wish you'd hold my hand when i was upset
i wish you'd never forget
the look on my face when we first met
i wish you had a favorite beauty spot
that you loved secretly
because it was on a hidden bit that nobody else could see
basically i wish that you loved me.
i wish that you needed me.
i wish that when i said two sugars, actually i meant three
i wish that without me your heart would break
yeah i wish that without me you'd be spending the rest of your nights awake
i wish without me you couldn't eat
i wish i was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep

look all i know is that you're the nicest thing i've ever seen
and i wish we could see if we could be something
yeah, i wish we could see if we could be something.

be loved.

i'll make you banana pancakes

necessary.

"You’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and he won’t tell you that he loves you, but he loves you. And you feel like you’ve done something terrible, like robbed a liquor store, or swallowed pills, or shoveled yourself a grave in the dirt, and you’re tired. You’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and you’re trying not to tell him that you love him, and you’re trying to choke down the feeling, and you’re trembling, but he reaches over and he touches you, like a prayer for which no words exist, and you feel your heart taking root in your body, like you’ve discovered something you didn’t even have a name for."
-Richard Siken

"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth."

-Billy, age 4

i'm fortunate to have you girl, i want you to know, i really adore you

got it bad.

Five Things 7/2

1. This man.


2. Quotes from my father. I haven't seen my parents in several weeks and the highlight of their days has been the fact that they bought a 12-foot ladder.

"Does it taste as good as Jimmy Johnsons" (Jimmy John's)

"Dad is very sad that he doesn't have many people in his phone."
"But Carlos might call me tomorrow!"

Brother: "Mom and Dad think Red Lobster is a very fancy restaurant."

3. The prospect of boxing.

4. Kingston Mines. It's a blues club and I loved it quite a bit. Carl Weathersby. Yes.

5. Hudson, age 6: Do you know anyone who dueled in the Civil War? Can you tell me about the whole story about when Abraham Lincoln was born starting from his baby days to his grownup days?

you don't always have to hold your head higher than your heart.
