More than just three words

in my eyes,
love is an art
it takes passion and care
and it's delicate
when you really love someone,
it is unexplainable.
you feel crazy without them
they are your world
i've always taken caution when someone says 
"i love you"
because if you really love someone
you won't ever leave them
you'll stick by their side forever
and forever is terrifying
when you really love someone
you'll listen to their rants and their happy exclamations
you will wait for them
and you will cheer them on for even the smallest accomplishments
and when you smile just when looking at them
then you will know
that "i love you" is more than just three words
and it is genuinely an unexplainable feeling
when you can simply sit in silence in their presence 
when you can title them as "home"
that is when you truly know
that "i love you" is more than just three words

  • But then

    i haven't written in five months,

    and i regret it every day

    my room is a mess,

    but i don't know where to start 

    the homework is piling up,

    and my perseverance is dwindling

    i need to practice more,

  • anticipation

    i remember my first day of middle school

    i was wearing washed-out jeans and a t-shirt from Target

    my short brown hair was parted to the side

  • To my sister

    my sister is the most beautiful person i have ever laid eyes on

    inside and out, 

    she is impeccable.

    she is the most generous, selfless, kind woman i have ever met

    whether she's 10 minutes or 10 hours away,
