I think I chose you For no reason other than The way your eyes Crease in the corners when you smile In a way that makes me numb.
I think you may be Perfect in every essence Every possible connotation of the Word

dear someone, there's such a thing of being satisfied with
where you are in life. i wish you tried it instead of
filling your head with sky-drawn wishes, i wish you didn't have potential.
dear someone, i hope to God that i forget your name for
