Hello

Hello

A word of greeting

A word that can bring new people into your life

Hello to the boy walking in the door

The boy that I’ve known my whole life

Hello to the boy that sits next to me in English

Who cracks jokes at everything

And can barely stop smiling

Hello to the boy who asked my friend for my phone number

Because he was too nervous to do it himself

Hello to the boy who has liked me since second grade

The boy who I have never noticed until now

Hello Weston

The boy who came over to my house

And lost playing video games

The boy who had to kiss me

Because we made a bet on who would win

Hello to the boy who asked me out

With a sharpie note written on a baseball

Hello to the boy I can talk to about anything

the boy with the curly hair and pretty eyes

Whose laugh I have learned quickly

And whose smile has begun to wear off on me 

Hello to the boy who treats me like I’m human

And who smells of pine

Hello Weston

The boy who gave me his jacket at a soccer game

And held my hand in the hallway

Hello to the boy that took me to his aunt’s work to hang out

And who’s mom would trust me to make sure he stays alive

Hello to the boy who held me longer than anyone else

Arms tight around my wait

Breath hot down my neck

And smile pressed into my skin

Hello to the boy who

stomped

scratched

and scrambled his way into my heart

Hello to the first boy to tell me I was beautiful

Who wanted to be with me more than anything

To the boy who texted me every night

Until our eyes felt like stones

Hello to the boy who took me out to the lake

And it started snowing

The boy who would drive the long way home

Just to spend more time with me

Hello to the boy who I loved

And the boy who told me he loved me back

Hello Weston

The boy who made butterflies swarm my stomach and my whole body feel warm with just one touch

Hello to the boy who I would do anything for

And the boy that would do anything to me

Hello to the boy who cared for me

And showed me that I was just as good as any other girl

Hello to the boy who promised he’d never hurt me

Who said that I was his one and only

Hello to the boy who lied
