The Girl Who Wrote

Naive, young and bold-you were just like this when I first spoke to you. Nothing in the world could describe you better than the way you write. All our imperfections and our faults, all our miseries and lovelessness, all the drunk moments when we were high on happiness, all those times we counted down to college together-to you, the girl who wrote. To you, this poem-

It took an instant to love you
An instant to believe, trust
An instant to look beyond
And give happiness a chance
An instant to know you
An instant to find us
An instant to this happenstance
An instant was it all

And I promise that this wonder
The wonder of not knowing
The joy of naivety
The poetry on life
Will die with us-
When we are dead and gone
And over it all
Said and done

I promise to stay
I promise to love
Not because I can,
Because I want to.
So to you, the girl who wrote
To you, my inspiration
I send waves of love
To wherever you are
And whenever you feel like
Receive them with open arms
For I am there whenever you need
I promise-because together our pens bleed.
