dear you-think-you-know-who-i-am-but-you're-sadly-mistaken,

i hope you read this, and if you do, i hope you know exactly what it's about. i hope that you read this and realise that it's meant for you the same way you know that the grass isn't always greener on the other side and how the best part of the day is just before the dawn. i hope that you're drinking your spirits with your boys again and that they burn all the way down like hot magma, but i hope that after the burning subsides, you're left with a warmth that could ignite even the coldest of hearts.

i hope you read this and are able to look beyond the curvy words and black ink to see the emotions and colours that i've tucked just out of sight. i hope you see exactly what i'm trying to say, exactly what i mean to say. i hope that after you read it, you won't be afraid of tearing my heart out from behind my too-tight, bleached-white ribcage. that you won't be afraid to embrace me, accepting the unsaid deep and rather dark secrets that plague me in my sleep every night. i hope that now i've opened this new chapter in my life, you won't be scared to be a part in it.

and i hope that all of my hopes haven't frightened you, nor appeared too grandiose for the two of us to handle. i promise you that they are simple, nothing more than a faint whisper heard carried over the winds, nothing more than the illusion of fire. they are nothing but the hope between a girl and a boy, the hope that my awkward hellos always try to mask whenever i see you and my heart leaps from my chest. the hope that someday, you'll look at me and realise that i've been waiting here all along.

you see, this is my way of saying that you're beautiful in the most unbeautiful way. your eyes hold so much more than you realise, and every time i look into them, i find myself mesmerized. it feels like they can see into my soul and it's making me shiver with excitement. i have the oddest feeling that we are the last two puzzle pieces that this world has been tearing itself apart looking for, the key to long-lost beauty.

but you see, this is all that this is ; the hope for a chance, the hope for a sunrise, the hope for a new beginning. the hope that you'll read this and not know who i am, but at least hope to find out. all this is, at the end of the day, is hope.

love [someday]
the-girl-you've-been-looking-for.
