What We Hope He Thinks


"When you're with him

you're stagnant.

You listen and laugh,

but it isn't as full

as it is

when you're with me:

 

"In a week I noticed you

everywhere

wearing those eyes

filled with hope

that I'll say hello,

but when I don't,

you aren't broken.

 

"In a month you knew my pet-peeves

and

in a year from now

you'll remember that night 

I brought you hot chocolate

and

you'll never forget

my wardrobe

or

the soap I used to wash it.

 

"You're comfortable with me

at any point in the day,

but also for the lonely nights too

because

I'll give you my shoulder

and

maybe even my sweatshirt.

 

"I want to be there for you

as long as you don't change.

Not for anyone

and especially

not for me,

because

You are a sweetheart...

 

And... Because...

 

You could be My Sweetheart."

Like everyone else, I've gone through my hardships and I know there are more to come. I've lost friends whom were close to me, I've suffered with grades in school, and I have my own family issues. I used to write with a pessimistic perspective, as you'll see in my earlier writings, but people change with time. I don't want to view what has happened and what will happen through a dark haze. I now write with a more hopeful attitude despite if I'm sad or angry. By reading these, you're getting to know the inner me and though I encourage constructive criticism, for that reason, please be honest and kind. Thank you and, by the way, it's nice to meet you! ;)
