Hello?
*Ring* *Ring* *Ring* *Someone answers*
"Hello?" Male's voice.
"Hello... I miss you." She hangs up the phone.
Never have I felt this way before--too nervous to speak, too embarrassed to ask, yet even so I have the audacity to call you and hang up. Letting him walk past me but making sure enough my one will look me in the eyes therefore making me feel the butterflies arise.
Never have I felt this way before--calm and collected, willing to tell my close friend everything that is on my mind and not having a care in the world. Letting him be close to me and making me feel like a normal girl.
This is something that I've felt before--Jealous when he is with someone else or hugging someone new, but I've noticed even so, I get the best embraces and I want to never let go and he smiles at me the biggest smiles I've ever seen and he tells me in writing: "I know."; Do you really? Do you understand how I feel?
This is something that I've felt before--Happy when he makes me laugh because of the silly words he speaks and the way he holds me tight and tells me how he wants to never lose me; is this true? The words you speak I mean? Do I mean this much to you?
I am a girl in my eyes, an insane one at that. I make art, I sit on floors, I dance to music, I lip-sync all the words, I write these words for him. But what am I in his eyes? Something important or something much lesser?
I am a bird in my eyes, a quiet one at that. I chirp when spoken to, I sit on windowpanes, I laugh at things, I stay close to those who are close to me, I also write these words for him. But what am I in his eyes again? Something worth fighting for and staying with no matter the situation? As you said "Shit happens." Will you still love me even so?
Flourish! Cries of the Violins! Whistles from the accordions! Words from my lips! Today I was quite sad but when I saw you I got over it. I sighed at least a million times until I got up the guts to give you that letter... Well it wasn't exactly a letter but surely you understand! The smile on your face, the way you held me... I miss it all so much.
Flourish! Whines of the guitars! Bellows of the drums! Words on the tip of my tongue! Today I was jealous, a bit angry... So angry that I spent a day entirely alone, but I got over it. I remember looking in the mirror this morning and seeing my non-makeup face and a scowl that lay upon it. I took a breath and remembered what you said--"Shit happens." Sure in hell it does, and then I realized... as long as you don't forget about me and you are still my close friend nothing else needn't matter. The way you held me... I miss it all so much.
*Ring* *Ring* *Ring* *Someone answers*
"Hello?" Female's voice.
"I understand... I miss you too." He hangs up the phone.
