we all have a love letter or poem somewhere hidden in our night table drawers - ever wondered what you're gonna do with this one letter you once wrote at 3am which you know you'll never send/give to the person anyways? or maybe you've shared your writing (and feelings) with your loved one already and wanna share your love publicly on the Internet for hopeful romantics to read?

I am a girl who loves all things literature. You can usually find me rereading my favorite books (rom-coms and romantic tear-jerkers) or writing poetry and short stories based off of my real life experiences and feelings. I also love spending my free time learning random interesting facts about the world, hanging out with the people I love, and studying.
As they do by Olivia
dedication: To my parents
I see
The way he looks at her
Like she’s the brightest star in the sky
No
The only star
I hear
The way she talks to him
Her voice full of care
And love
All my life
I’ve seen the small things
They do for each other
He makes her coffee in the morning
And greets her with a kiss on her forehead
She laughs at all his jokes
No matter how cheesy
I’ve seen them
Dancing in the kitchen
To their favorite music
The look in their eyes
Says that they’re teenagers again
Young and in love
Their smiles so wide
Grins from ear to ear
Laughter ringing out
I love watching them
So happy
So in love
I can only hope
To one day have something
Half as good
As they do
