Short one today, but I read something sad and got inspired...

"Tell me a secret"

There are a thousand things I could tell you.

The fact that your laugh is my favorite sounds, that I treasure our every moment together, that when the light hits your eyes just right they sparkle like melted gold.

All the secrets you don't know.

"I love strawberries."

And your smile, and when you talk about your favorite movie, and when you text me late at night to tell me you miss me.

That I lay awake at night thinking of you.

"But I already know that! Tell me something I dont know."

You don't know that I miss you back.

That I lay awake at nights thinking about you.

"Alright, um, I'm afraid of the dark."

Of nothingness, of the all-consuming void that holds only silence.

I'm afraid of losing you.

"Wait, really?"

I would never lie to you.

You hold my heart in the palm of your hand, and you don't even know it.

"Yes, really! Since I was a little kid."

Since my brother told me stories of the monsters.

Since he left me alone on the woods.

Since the night I called out, and nobody answered.

"No way!"

Why don't you believe me?

"Yes way!"

You never do.

"Tell me another one!"

...I love you...
