     To whom it may concern,

I know you. I know all about you, and all the things you’ve done. I know about your parents, always fighting. I know about the flowers you hid in your pockets in case you met the girl you were always waiting for. I know about the time you ran away but came right back, because you were afraid. I know about your secret fear of spiders. I know about how you almost thought you were gay in the seventh grade. I know about the questions you didn’t stop asking, and the answers you never found.

Make me a promise. Promise me that when the leaves start to fall, we’ll lie in the foliage and let it paint our souls red and orange and find shapes in the clouds together. Promise me that when I tell you about all the lies, you’ll pull me into your arms and stroke my hair and tell me that it’s okay, even though we’ll both know it’s not. Promise me that you’ll mean it when you say you love me.

When I was little, I didn’t understand why people would ask others to be theirs. I would wonder why I should give myself to you and let you call me yours, like you owned me. I vowed that I would never let anyone call me theirs and that I would belong to nobody but myself. When you ask me to be yours one day, I’ll say yes.

I’m waiting. Come soon? I love you.

                                                                                   Forever yours, me.
don't get lost. comments would be hugely appreciated.
