[she hummed a tune, and scribbled words in the back of a notebook..]
how do i make you happy? i want to be the reason you smile in those small, quiet moments you spend alone with your thoughts in daydreams--and know i'm doing the same. i want to be the one call you have to make when the best and worst happens--not because you're obligated, but because you want to tell someone [but not just anyone]. i want to know you're there, especially when i don't want to admit how much i need you, but let me return the favor. i want to know you're proud of me, the way i am of you. i stand next to you and feel like i'm somehow better, and just more because of it. i want to laugh with you, cry with you, disagree with you, compromise with you, and love you. i want you to know things--that you're important to me, and i do appreciate you. i do value you.
i love you.
only god himself can know what i would give to stand next to you, with our feet sinking into wet sand, my hand wrapped in yours as we stare into the colours of the sea, and listen to the rhythm of the sunset...

it almost hurts to read, it rings so true :P
Love makes it so hard to write, makes me feel such aspirations to produce the perfect love song. My words seem so contrived and I feel forced to give up and quote the first song that comes to mind. Something like:
there's sand in my book from writing on the beach
trying to find a song for you that the ocean can only reach..
And just before the anxiety hits its peak and I'm left with frustration from a lack of expression, it hits. Inspiration. All consuming..
Pure emotion into a flurry of words intended for only one set of ears.
Slow down. Catch my breath.
In comes a clarity, simplicity of mind that would make even small children jealous. And out comes two lines:
To the last of broken hearts,
To the fall that never ends.
:)
the power of simplicity.
shall we have a toast then..?
hi, what a nice post! He whom you addressed should really be happy with this. :). let him know...
such a serene picture....the words couldnt have done more justice to it!
thank you kat :)
and anon--i wish with all my heart for anyone i value, to already know i value them..
..and perhaps they've already heard me tell them, in one form or another :)
