A LETTER TO THE BOY I MET YESTERDAY.

Dear stranger,

I know that it feels like I am a stranger,

And you expect me to see you as one too,

But darling,

How do I say it?

That I know you?

Much more than you imagine,

Without sounding like a creep.

Every single day,

I go through your page,

Refreshing it every minute,

To make sure I haven’t missed anything,

And I go through your media,

But even though I find nothing-

pertaining to you,

I have still managed to ascribe a face to you,

Because I needed a face to see in my dreams,

Since you’re always the last thing on my mind everyday,

And the first anyway

but that doesn’t matter much, I think.

And the face I thought you have-

Beautiful, sweet and edible.

And how much joy when I finally realized-

It was even much more edible than I thought.

And you are such a snack to behold.

I know it should feel like we are strangers,

Just meeting up to see how it goes,

But darling I have always had conversations in my head,

With you.

And I don’t mean to sound weird,

But it’s the way you look at me for me,

That makes me want to hear you scream my name,

While I do things to you,

And carry you to the edge of paradise.

I want to explore every part of you,

Like a miner digs for gold,

Because you are in fact,

Worth more than even gold.

Don’t think I am weird,

sweet darling,

but you are no stranger to me,

and I know it has only be days,

and I can also not say that I am in love with you right now,

but I know,

that I like you very much,

and my body calls so much,

to be one with yours
