I know the things you love about me, the way I crinkle my nose when I laugh or don't like something, the way I wear a that do-rag over my braids at night(so they don't mess up and my hair waves perfectly), the way I make chicken alfredo, how leather clings to my curves, the way that I write about you, how I spend my time memorizing shakespearan sonnets. I know all of this, it is locked away in the heart shaped locket that you gave me, with a picture of me at seventeen and you at eighteen. I was the world to you, the sun and moon and stars, now I am an obligation, a commitment that makes you comfortable, not one that you enjoy. You lost me for a while, I know, but that time was short compared to the loss of that spirit I knew as Christopher. He is still floating away somewhere, beyond the borders where the earth and sky meet and I ask you now to please bring him home. He needs to come home to his girl, who never cuts her hair because he likes it long and wears baby blue because it is his favorite color. Please let him know that there are warm chocolate chip cookies and long fireside nights waiting for him. A girl who loves him more than macaroni and cheese and renaissance festivals. Please send him home, I miss him too much... |
