I can still feel their wings through the paper. Nine, you see I have this envelope, I carry it with me all the time, it’s full of all the butterflies I felt the first time she relaxed the velcro on her lips and smiled in my direction. Seven, I think I’ve seen you somewhere in her smile.Įight, I think I’ve heard you in her laughter, I bet if we dusted her heart for fingerprints, we would only find yours. Six, she always wore her heart on her sleeve. But what exactly do you do on days when it feels like the hands on your clock have arthritis? Love is clumsy, and my heart doesn’t wear a helmet.įour, cupid is fucking irresponsible, and I’m tired of him using me for target practice.įive, I was told that time would heal all wounds. Love stutters when it gets nervous, love trips over its own shoelaces. There is nothing logical about cutting off the most important parts of yourself then putting them inside hands that shake, that tremble, that crack like a hatian sidewalk.įour, there is nothing rational about love. And I know that it makes no sense to have this much anger toward a man that I have never met face to face, but my definition of love is being robbed in an alley 8 times in a row and hoping there’s something about today that makes all of this different. Two, if I ever see you in the street, I’m probably going to punch you in the throat. One: The first time I saw you and her in a picture, I wanted to take my entire arm, shove it inside of the computer and snatch the happiness right off of your face. I said to myself, “There’s no way Ashton Kutcher is gonna catch me off guard.” I waited 45 minutes and then I realized, there hasn’t been a new episode of “punked” in almost three years, so I guess I’m the only practical joke in this entire situation. When I saw that you were in a relationship with the girl that I thought I would someday spend the rest of my life with, I walked outside. To the random dude who started dating my ex girlfriend two days after we broke up (yes, I read that on facebook). Ten, if I could, I would tie your arms to a day dream and then auction you off to my fondest memories. Ten I heard that over 90%, 90% of human interaction is not verbal.so. ten, it’s hard for me to count when I get emotional. Ten, I hope your next boyfriend gets small pox. You wanna know how I got these scars? Well, I swallowed my pride and then it clawed it’s way out of my mouth and Nine, I realized that I was never really your boyfriend, I guess I was really just your height man. Seven, I dipped my hands in forever, I touched you infinity, treated you as if you were the last molecule of oxygen inside of a gas chamber I was good to you.Įight. Well, I ripped every last piece of you out of my smile. Three, loving you was the last thing that I was really good at.įour, you wanna know how I got these scars. Pierce my side with a broken promise and I will bleed all the crippled reasons why you deserve one more chance. One, if I could, I would nail these hands to the edges of stars I would sacrifice this body to the sky, hoping to resurrect someone that’s spiteful enough to not care about you anymore.
