Dear Eila,
(LOVELY-PO3TRY)

First things first, how have you been? I know it's been a tough week at school and with all these crazy motherfuckers seeking attention for no reason. Steve told me about you getting selected to play at the school marching band. Well, I love that to be honest. They might just give us a day's break from Scoops if I had to go and see you play the drums haha.

Anyways, I've been kinda tired recently and working in two shifts isn't really a nice thing to do as well. I miss you coming to the store and us having ice cream for free because you know you're special. No feelings attached. I'm just trying to say what's on my mind. But, hey Eila. Do you remember something from last month? It's been a while since we've been friends but the past few months, we've grown closer and I think I got some stuff to say about it.

So, the last week I was sitting by the stairs and wondering of what might happen if you did move to Derry, the next year. I don't wanna lose our friendship. I feel like I am more of myself when I'm around you which is why I tend to stay with you mostly. You're different from the other girls I know, Eila. You're like this sweet melody I wanna get lost in. I'm one of those "not so cool" kids and seeing that we're so similar makes me happier. Hawkins felt like a strange place until you came around and changed it for me. I wish I could explain in words how much of a wonderful person you are. You mean the world to me, Eila.

I know I'm gonna get in trouble for saying this but I love being a rebel. I always have been. My heart does beat a little faster when I'm near you. My eyes do love the sight of you right next to me. My lips curl into small smiles everytime I hear you giggle. You're perfect in every way. Don't you ever change yourself. I'm a sinner but I love to admit that it's you whom I wanna be with. I'm not super cool with words either but here's it -

I love you, Eila. Will you be my lover too?

I know it might be too early to say this to you or maybe too late. But either way, I love you. I always did. When I realised this, I questioned myself a lot but I've come to the conclusion that I seriously love you and everything about you. I can see us together, in a better future. Somewhere happier, away from this stupid world, I just want you to know that I love you. You might have mixed feelings about this. That's quite natural to be honest. But I wanna give you sometime to ponder over it. It's just that I needed to let my feelings out.

I hope you're taking care. I love you. I'm waiting for your reply eagerly! Oh, here's something I wrote to you after five fails, sixteen screams, throwing a hundred paper balls into the trash and a whole '70s mixtape.

I love you,
It's true.
Trust me, we're gonna be beautiful,
Let's run away and never come back;
You'll be Hercules and I'll be your Hephaestus.
Nobody can seperate us apart.

Yours sincerely,
Robin Buckley.

I hope you liked it !

I know the poem is trash lmao but I tried.

Lots of love,
Anurima.
