From the Heart

I want you.
I don't want some stereotypical guy.
I want You.
I want us to be two parts of each other.
I want you to wrap me up,
Surround me
So that I never have to be without you.
So that I'll never have to face anything alone
ever again.
I want us.
I want you to be there.
I want you to have
To be all mine,
To never share with anyone else.
I want you to cherish and
Be the thing that is so precious,
Sometimes I'm afraid to touch it
Because it might turn out to be surreal
And disappear.
I want you to protect me;
Save me from myself
And be the person who likes me
Even when I don't like myself.
And...
I want you to want to, too.

Tomorrow will be complete (insert letter between K and M)

Yeah, tomorrow Charles and Jeremy are coming to destroy our floors under the pretense of finding better floors underneath.
And my boys are coming, plus Ryder's friend Chase (Cody's lil' bro) will come for most of the morning at least and probably into the afternoon.
Dad will be there all day, and he is having a guy we know come over to look at something else later in the afternoon.
Ya know how when you first crush on a person, like, the first time you ever crush, and you build all these castles around them, and you make them the hero of every story? You paint them with silver paint to make them your knight in shinning armor.  You come up with secret names for him that only you and your best friend know, so no one else could guess who you're talking about.  You see them next to you every time you close your eyes and feel their arms around you when you lay down at night.  You imagine a million different ways you could walk up to her and just say "Hi", but you always end up looking the other way...
Well, that person you painted silver will always have this undeniably innocent part of your heart.  They will never let it go.  They will always have silver paint left behind their ears, or under their nails, because no matter how long it's been, or how hard you try, or how much they change, he or she will always be yours.
Yeah.
So, I've been friends with Jeremy for years, and when I first met him I thought 'he would look good in silver'.  So now, no matter how many times I see Cody, or tell myself I could never really love Jeremy, I always have this face in my back of my head.  I swear, it's the all-knowing look Derek Shepard gives Meredith when she won't accept something that is right in front of her.  He looks at me and chuckles and grins and says "Yeah, right"

So, I will go to bed thinking, Yeah Right.
