《 Listen Up! 》

there are times when you cannot help but allow your smile to take over your entire face. this morning came one of those moments.

i still remember your accent.

i know so little about you. and i'm sure you know even less about me. but there are no words, in any language verbal or pictorial, that could ever describe how much i wish you meant every word you said on that e-mail.

i still remember your face.

it's been almost a year since we last saw each other. my email in november didn't get through. if it did, you would know how much i wished you didn't leave. you would know. i'm sure you would. but even if you did stay, it was too late. way too late.

i still remember your smile.

i can't help but think that maybe things would go differently if this e-mail was to arrive before i came home. i would go. i would. to that place i've never been before. i would let you pick me up. talk with you. drink with you. but i wouldn't go home with you.

i still remember that hug you gave me before you left.

a war inside of me. i wished you said to me that day what you wrote on the e-mail. i would give you a kiss on the cheek. and i would remember you always. i wished i got to know you better. your town. your hobbies. your last name. where you go with your broken heart in tow.

thank you, for making my day when you're millions of miles away. this time, no would, only will.
