Dear Crush,

Take me somewhere far away, where nobody knows our names. Take me swimming in a glimmering lake, where we can drown in love. 

Take me to a grassy meadow, where the flowers bow to the gentle summer winds and the butterflies dance around our dreaming heads. We can lie on dirt rich with life. We can cloud gaze, look for love hearts against the stark blue sky. We'll find ourselves there, arms pressing together, and we'll spend lazy afternoons just breathing because breathing is something miraculous if I'm breathing with you.

Take me to the beach, where the waves crash against the sand with fervour. Dip beneath the waves with me, and taste the salt of my tears when I realise that you can't ever be mine. Drown me with my own feelings, because you'll be right there in front of me but I won't be able to reach out and touch your face.

Take me to the movies, where I can hide my emotions in the soft blanket of darkness. I can watch you while you watch the screen, because you are my own personal movie. We'll share popcorn, because sometimes you don't eat enough and that worries me.

Take me to the park, where we can watch the swans dance gracefully, they necks entwined. We can feed the ducks together, walk on the paths through the swaying trees. 

Take me on a drive, just you and me with the radio playing songs from our childhood. We'll sing our hearts out and worry about nothing for a little while. We'll have the windows down, and the air can sweep away my words of love.

Dear Bestie,

You've figure it out by now. I know you've seen through my secrets. I wear my heart on my sleeve.

Dear Bestie,

i don't want to pressure you into something you don't want.

Dear Bestie,

Do you wanna pretend with me?

We can go swimming in a star-filled lake.

We can go and play with daises in a sun-crisp meadow, and chew the sweet grass because why not?

We can go to the beach, and maybe I don't have to cry in the waves. Maybe we can just let the ocean float us into oblivion together.

We can go to the movies, and I'll watch the movie. But our hands will be laced together and when we leave the cinema, your lips will be mine as well.

We can go to the park, and we can practice a swan dance, even though we have no music. 

We can go on a drive, get lost on the road to nowhere. We can sing along to bad songs, and just forget that you'll never be more than someone who has my heart.

Dear Crush.

Dear Bestie.

We don't have to leave my bedroom, if you don't want to.
