Countdown

August 29, 2010

The
10th of December was
9 days before I left, and there were
8 thousand words I should have been writing at
7 pm that night because I had
6 papers due but you needed a prop girl
5 minutes before the show and be
4 I knew it I was that girl and
3 drinks later I was way too drunk
2 walk myself home and you were the nice
1 who made sure I was okay and my heart went from
0 to 60 everytime you smiled at me.
1 week later at
2 in the morning, you walked me home again, and
3rd times the charm, I asked you to stay
4 the night because it was barely
5 degrees outside and I was falling for you out of
6 billion people in the world, despite only knowing you for
7 days. And now
8 months later, and
90 days since I told you I loved you, I thank god for the
10 days I had with you in December.

  26. Kyle on March 19, 2011 at 10:06 am

    i really enjoyed this, i know everyone else said they did as well and i’m not going for originality but i thought that it would still be nice to comment because i feel that often we see a bunch of comments that are the same and dont bother because we dont want to feel repetitive but today i’m ending that with me. it really is beautiful, you dont need me to say that to know. but, i said it so you know there is one more person thats a fan

    You are absolutely incredible. I can’t believe that I got to hear this LIVE today. What are the chances that I knew you?! You are truly an inspirational writer. Your talent and your experiences in life are remarkable, and I hope that you will continue to write forever :)
