Semi Meaningless Rant

pineapple_babbit's picture

Second warning: This is just a rant and its just to steam out feelings. *As always* It was written by just writing down what I thought when I thought it, so its not organized at all. Enjoy!!!

I want to tell you so much
But I could never muster up the courage
So it must stay in my heart
At least I can write it out
Hoping that someday you will read it
And maybe even understand it
But until then
It will remain hidden from the world
Well,
Anyone not in the writing community
So this is it.
I love you
And I miss you
You are so close to being the perfect guy
*No one’s perfect
But you are pretty darn close. Lol *
Don’t get me wrong,
But perfect can’t be too incredibly real
Well
Maybe it can
I mean
A sunset is perfect
Isn’t it?
Sunsets remind me of your eyes
Its not the color though
I’m not sure why…
Its almost like you are a sunset...
well
a sunset with an alien abducting someone
but thats not the point...
Oh gosh…
I’m rambling.
I do that when I try to tell people things. Lol
Anywho
This isn’t much of a poem anymore
Its more like I’m freeing my feelings into the world
But at least you can tell this is from my heart
Just because some parts are a bit
Awkward and a bit funny…
that’s just who I am.
So just to cap things over
I love you
And your corruption
And your weirdness
Its almost like mine
But it seems to be more advanced
To tell the truth,
I didn’t really think that that was possible
Actually,
I can think of a couple of people I look up to
In the weirdness category
About 4 people…
But your weirdness is mostly like my weirdness
So its better
Much love
And many hugs
Maybe next time I run into you,
I’ll randomly tell you
But the likely hood of that
Is the same likely hood that apples will turn into a mushroom…..
*ponders*
Actually apples turning into a mushroom is more likely
But for a completely different reason
*Giggles*
But I was just attempting to warn you. Lol
*I wonder if you will ever read this
or if you even know of YWP... Hmmmmm....*
Tootles!!!!
