What is Love?
Is it walking in the beach
while holding hands?
Is it eating dinner by candlelight?
Is it sharing your
secrets with one another?
Sharing them, because no matter
what you do, you know
they'll always choose you?
Is it trusting someone
with the power to
make or break you?
Is it caring more about someone
than you do yourself?
Is it sticking up for them
when it seems the world is against them?
Is it catching them when they fall?
Trusting them to catch YOU
when YOU fall?
Is it holding on and never letting go?
Is it being forever loyal to
someone, while hoping they feel the
same way about you?
Is it hugging?
Is it kissing? Both?
What is love?
And after you figure it out
WHAT is is, how do you
describe it?
What does it feel like, taste like, look like, smell like, sound like?
How would you describe it to someone who
doesn't know what is is?
Is it warm and buttery,
or does it have an icy chill?
Do butterflies really form
in your stomach?
Do breathy signs and
sweet smells permeate the air?
Does it taste sugary like candy,
or does it leave your tongue
with a bitter after taste?
Does it hurt? A lot?
If so, is it a bad thing?
Why do people do stupid things for love,
and why do some loves last longer than others?
If love is different for everyone,
how do you know when it's real?
When it's yours? </3

Letter - Dear Future Best Friend
Dear Future Best Friend,
I don't know, much, or really anything, about you so I guess I have no choice but to tell you about myself. Keep in mind while you're reading this that nobody is perfect, especially not me, but I sincerely hope you can accept me for everything, flaws and all, like a real friend should.
Where should I begin? From the beginning? I don't know, I just feel like the past, nor the future are nearly as important as the present, but I guess I should give you at least a little info to go off of. My past doesn't seem very special, actually it's predictable, and very little of it is definable of who I am.
My name's Erin ____ ( I don't know if I'll be married by the time I meet you so we'll just go with my first name). I'm a child of divorced parents, I have an older sister, and I guess you could say an older brother but the gap in our ages is so large, he's practically a stranger. I grew up liking Hello Kitty, books filled with romantic adventures and self discovered heroines, and any type of music I could get my hands on. I'm allergic to, what feels like, everything on the planet and I have asthma. Right now, I'd like to grow to be an chemical/biomedical engineer but who knows, nothing's set it stone.
There are so many faucets of someone's personality that make them unique, so I know I'm not going to be able to tell you everything about me, but here's a heads up, sort of like a warning, to prepare you for what you're getting yourself into. I'm moody, and bossy, and I hate being wrong, but I know when to admit it. I'm over protective and it can come off as controlling, and maybe I am just a little bit controlling. I hate being the center of attention, but I refuse to loose myself in a crowd. I hate fake people, but I'm not one to talk, I know what it feels like to want to be friends with everyone at once.
I have a strong sense of justice, of what's fair and what's not, and I try to make sure, everyone get's their due, even sometimes, when it's not my problem. I'm gullible and I find it hard to say no to people, and I've got a big mouth with an even bigger attitude. I can come off harsh because I tell it how it is, not how people want to hear it because when I sugar coat things, they never come out the way I want them to.
People often see me as as independent, or the girl with all the answers, and I have no clue why because, most of the time, I know less about the subject than they do. For the most part I like people, but I know I'm not a people person. Gaahh, and I can't stand girls who need something as trivial as I guy to make themselves feel better about themselves when there's nothing wrong with them. I HATE scary movies with a passion (my sister used to make me stay up late and watch them with her when I was a toddler and so classic scary movie scenes are forever etched into my brain). My favorite type of food is Mexican, I love me some burritos, and uuuh that's really all I can think of. These are just a few (a very few..) of the things that tag along with me, and who knows, it's the future, maybe by the time I meet you there will be more.
So what about you? There are too many things that I want to ask to post them all on here, so I guess this (one sided...) conversation is going to have to wait until we meet. I can't wait to meet you and find out all the different parts that make you, you, and I can't wait for you to find out, for yourself, all about me.
Sincerely,
Erin, your future best friend

Introduction Poem
Books scattered all over
Pages fluttering in the wind
The thoughts they provoke all jumbled together
My room is a mess, like me
Some books are stacked precariously,
With the slightest movement they could fall
Posters of dead beat, out of date pop stars litter the walls
Clothes have been thrown carelessly
Across the bed, under the bed, beside the bed
Tissues filled with tears of past loves
Overflow the trashcan
Make-up is strewn across the dresser
Potions and pots of colors are spilling out
Leaving colorful stains on everything
All these live in a careful, chaotic harmony
That is me
Pages fluttering in the wind
The thoughts they provoke all jumbled together
My room is a mess, like me
Some books are stacked precariously,
With the slightest movement they could fall
Posters of dead beat, out of date pop stars litter the walls
Clothes have been thrown carelessly
Across the bed, under the bed, beside the bed
Tissues filled with tears of past loves
Overflow the trashcan
Make-up is strewn across the dresser
Potions and pots of colors are spilling out
Leaving colorful stains on everything
All these live in a careful, chaotic harmony
That is me
