Then take care of her. She likes her baths scolding and with a drop of lavender. Her back scratched and her scary movies, REALLY scary.
If she ever disappears into herself, give it time. Sometimes the fog in her brain is too thick and she looses the way back home. You can leave bread crumbs for her, in the form of reassuring notes and sweets, she likes almond joys. Just tell her you’ll be there when she comes back. trust me.
and she will be back. That I can promise. and it’ll be like the sun after a rainstorm, so so very bright.
Enjoy her smile, The way her eyes get really small. She hates that. tell her you love it. Tell her, you love the tattoo on her rib cage, it hurt like hell for her to get it, so tell her. She almost bailed half way through. She’s tough though.
I lost her a long time ago, But maybe you can keep her. Maybe she still looks at you in the eye and not down at her phone. Maybe when you kiss her, you’ll taste like those white Oreos she loves so much.
I hope you can support her in her creativity. She needs it. I hope you don’t let her give up easily. Maybe you, she’ll listen to.
Maybe you and her will be a better fit.
when she takes you to her favorite place in the world, enjoy it. Take it in. she feels the most herself there. with the water and the the jet skis. Remind her to put on so much sunblock. Sometimes the meds she takes make her get burnt easily. Even though her, with a sunglasses tan, is a sight for sore eyes.
And if there’s ever a new years you have plans to take her to the beach and see fireworks, make sure you follow through. Her hand in yours, and all those fireworks, it’s something I wish I’d had.
I hope she loves you how she couldn’t love me.
If she’s yours now, take care of her.
