i love you, now love her--

and although i'm choking on stars, i wish you only happiness and leave you with my heart.

i.
your carefully crayon drawn lovehearts in gold and silver will litter someone else's page whilst they try to write words of love for you, and you'll draw rainbows on her arm in childrens felt pens to try and make her smile when she's crying because of you.

and if it's going to be a rainy day, i hope the sun always shines and surrounds you,
melting on your fingers, bringing you only closer to the one your heart matched.

ii.
i hope she tells you every word of love that you deserve, and whispers i love you more than cupcakes and wishes at eleven;eleven in your ear when you've been reduced to tears. i hope she loves you as much as you love her.

iii.
put rings of plastic on her fingers, and take her to all those places that you promised we'd go. maybe you'll swim in the lakes where i sat beside you writing words in prose and pushing my love into your fingers, maybe you'll look back on us and smile, and honestly, thats what i'm wishing for.

iv.
i never want you to forget me, and that you'll look into the sky and think of my face, that you'll look into the blades of grass that we halfheartedly planted and laugh, and remember how we painted your shed white and then with wild daisies and sunflowers before your mother came home.

v.
promise me you'll look back on us and think of how much you loved me, loved us.
promise me that, and i promise that i'll be happy for you always.

vi.
i love you, now love her.

Author notes

You know it's love when you can see the one you love with someone else, smile and say to them "I am happy for you".

    Aww so sweet & full of beauty.
    Gorgeous imagery expressed
    throught and deep metaphors.

    That is true love right there, m'dear.
    To let a lover go, to be happy with
    another is one of the hardest things
    to do... but that is what consists
    of a love that was true.

    Thanks for entering & best of luck

    Oh man. Tears!
    you made me cry!
    At first i thought something had happened between you and ashley and i was like...NO!
    Okie, i feel a little bit better now.
    This is sad and devastating. but so beautiful. I love your imagery, and how clear your love shines through every word.

    -I guess this could be considered bittersweet, but it's not even bitter really. It just resides in sadness and faith. Its amazing.

    Fuck, you made me cry. I dont know if it's the song playing on Itunes and the cobination of your poetry, or the other way round [But i think it's just purely your words.]
    Have i ever told you what you write its devestatingly beautiful? Your letters are epic love stories written in 40 lines.

    You are just unexplainably talented

          never give up because...
          i don't really have a reason why you shouldn't give up, you just shouldn't.
