Some of the Things I Want To Tell You

I want to tell you that the first time I saw you, not only did my heart go wild, but my brain did too.

I want to tell you that I remembered the drink you ordered but I asked you to repeat it just so I could hear your voice again.

I want to tell you that I wished there hadn’t been other customers in line behind you because I wanted you to stay as long as possible.

I want to tell you that your eyes captured me.  And I’ve never met anyone else with the same color as yours were.

I want to tell you that it took everything in me to not let the flush rise to my cheeks when our eyes found each other.

I want to tell you that every moment I spent with you after our first meeting was like a perfect scene in a storybook.

I want to tell you that I believe you loved me, but that’s what scared you the most.

I want to tell you that I don’t hate you for the way you hurt me.

I want to tell you that so many little things remind me of you and bring you to memory.

I want to tell you that there are countless times in my day that I pick up my phone to text or call you, but then remember that you took me out of your life.

And that’s okay, I guess.

Because not everyone is meant to stick around forever.  And I guess that’s true for you and me and our story.

I also want to tell you – all I know is that we were meant to be together.  Maybe not for the rest of our lives.  But baby, for a time, I’m so glad I could call you mine.

And I titled this only some of the things I want to tell you because if you want to know the rest, maybe that will be enough to make you come back someday.
