A sad short story. Make it personal, or universal. (micro-poem or short story)

Whatever, I thought.

Suddenly, I didn't look at you like I used to. I saw eyes and skin and bones and teeth.

I didn't laugh the way I used to, that's what they said.

Long live us.

For a second, we felt like heroes.

missing tooth.

It was like going through a yard sale and stumbling upon a dusty Rembrandt.

No one would have thought it was there, between those old, yellowed paintings.

And yet, I found you as though I

had been drawn to you.

There you stood, a lanky awkward boy with hair that constantly fell into your eyes and a small smile that held so many promises and wishes,

I was taken aback by your wonderfully 

poetic ferocity.

I inched closer to you and before I could even think about what I was going to say,

you grinned at me, exposing two missing teeth.

the heart.

we drove down the coast, feeling utterly ridiculous and amazingly romantic.

crazy beautiful

You are crazy beautiful.

You are crazy beautiful. Everything I never thought I'd see.

You are crazy beautiful. From every angle.

You are crazy beautiful. Grey eyes, red lips.

You are crazy beautiful. Inside and out.

You are crazy beautiful.

Crazy beautiful.
