It's Been 365 Days
You have brought me the most insatiable appetite for love. You are the man I've always dreamt of and written about. You make me want nothing more than to write the best fairytale ending that any story has ever seen.
It’s been 365 Days.
No other man has ever crossed this threshold and I thank you for loving me longer than they ever thought possible. Thank you for believing in my worthiness. Thank you for allowing me to be myself, and thank you for being the man that I miss even when you're sitting right beside me.
You fuel the fire that resides deep within my longing to taste childhood again. You calm me down, gently, each time I realize I can’t. You make me want to pursue my pipe dreams and to be better at everything and to everyone that I have ever let down.
You build me up with the cognizance that my writing is of respectable substance all the while trusting that I am incapable of ever having let anyone down.
I am at fault more than I led on. I admit this here, without retraction.
I am one stubborn woman.
I have major anxiety and dislike when you try to fix it.
I react in ways a reserved lady never should.
I am an angry little bitch.
I have a major crush on you.
I am thankful for all that had happened before I came around, even though I know it hurt.
I fear things like the future, but I embrace all the uncertainty that comes with this strange love.
This is one rollercoaster I’d wait hours to ride without a Fastpass.
Here’s to waiting as many years possible together.
Happy anniversary to you, my 6ft-something pollywog. ♥

First Boyfriend
September 5, 2000 11:53am
"If you’re going to cheat on your boyfriend make sure you break up with him first, you ugly bitch!"
As I turned to see my friends walk back to class without a care — I came to realize, as I rubbed the streaks of mascara off my face, that my life would never be the same.
I remember lying under the covers when
our premature, first autumn began to fall; an October
night, pale as my lips were cold — abandoned by
blood's refusal to play warmth into November. This
hand evicted out from your glove; my father’s panic
found reprieve. Those childhood dreams of falling
down had come back; hitting the ground - safety
net occupied.

“I never meant to hurt you. Kissing him meant nothing. You’re the one I want.”
Your flesh at Seventeen— I wanted to relish every inch.
I remember rainy days where we’d seek refuge under your
umbrella, standing on the senior quad in all its emptiness, our
tongues submissive to lunch hour’s destiny. My skin pervasive
in resting eau de cologne, your neck stained in the hue of
habitual love letters — prime accessories in marking
clothed, sexual territory.

“This isn’t going anywhere. All we do is fight and plus, you’ve yet to let me fuck you.”
I remember your house. Careful in her home, I gained back
your mother’s trust after breaking your virginal heart. I remember
the night I slept over: running away with lies left on my home’s
answering machine, twirling spaghetti, sipping raspberry wine,
listening to wind chimes in blind rapture with the dry Santa Anas.
You undressed my inexperienced teenage frame.
Fearful as your finger let itself slide, I remembered the stained-glass butterfly missing its wing.

“I’ll call you back.”
“No you won’t.”
“I can’t take your shit anymore. I can’t talk right now with you harping at me. I’ll call you back.”
I was tested on young love. The welcome to cheat—wrapped in those
muscular arms, long through frayed edges of his cotton t-shirt— consented.
I can say I suffered along with you though you’d swiftly overturn my parole,
calling it a bluff, sentencing my capacity to assault fledgling emotions to further
rehabilitation.

I have always been worth waiting for.
I’ve been waiting 8 years, 3 months and 21 days as if old
photos and once pleasant Valentine grams are so inclined to ask.
Those childhood dreams of falling down have come back; hitting
forgiving ground – safety net easy, vacant only to be occupied by
last boyfriend’s love.
The phone number you never dialed is no longer in amenable service
to the moments we spent — they were nothing more than fairytales you
told to keep me captive.
