The numbers were flashing, over and over, determined to be seen in my unwilling heart.
My hands clenched against my will, crushing the note into a squashed little ball.
I love you....don't you dare forget that.
My breath caught as a sob echoed through my ribs; I could hear the words written in his awful handwriting that I had always gave him so much crap about it.
I know it's too late now but I always wanted to take you to the zoo. You always did have that gorgeous grin around animals sweetheart, that and I just know there would have been an ice-cream vendor near-by.....so we would have BOTH enjoyed it :]
That vision of me running and po
I saw you today for the first time in weeks
and I was lost.
I stared at you as intently as I did the first time I saw you seven months ago
like I did when you were my life
when you consumed every waking thought I had
and I was
searching
searching
searching
for a trace of that boy I loved.
My throat was thick with impending tears because that was the first time I realized I had really lost you
that you were never mine and you will never be
and all those dizzying daydreams were just daydreams and that's how they would stay
and right then I felt a dull ache in my chest.
I was
"I would tell you that you broke my heart, but the heart is a muscle. Therefore it cannot break."
Sarah listened to her nails click against the keyboard, typing rapidly. The computer screen reflected in her glasses, but it was impossible for the average mind to understand what anything she was typing could have possibly meant.
"I would tell you that you've shattered it to pieces, but the heart is not made of glass. Therefore it cannot shatter as the saying goes."
Sarah's fingers stopped suddenly. She turned around and looked at the door, where she swore she heard someone knocking. She got up, her joints cracking from stiffness, and walked
I don't own the Avatar: the Last Airbender or any of its characters.
Zutara - Love Letters?
It all started back in the Western Air Temple. Had the 'note' been written by anyone else, Katara probably wouldn't have been bothered by it at all. But of course Zuko was not someone who she would not answer to. The firebender should have known better than to annoy her, and the least of all: to order her around.
-- Day 1 --
Katara,
Today I'm taking the avatar Aang firebending at sunset. His basics are good enough but he relies on the Sun too much. I want to make sure he changes that. So... your waterbending class will be postponed to tomorrow mo
"Let me get this straight," the Fire Lord, sovereign of the vast and powerful Fire Nation, master of firebending, skilled warrior, cunning statesman (etcetera, etcetera, etcetera ) said, glowering from majestic height down at the cringing boy before him, "You have a crush on a Water Tribe girl, who not only doesn't care you are the son of the Fire Lord, but has on occasion, snubbed you in public, and "
The air became unbearably oppressive.
" you still want to somehow make her like you?"
"Uh-huh," the boy replied sullenly, not daring to look his father in the face.

my mouth is filling with sand
my brother used to tell me to hold my breath until i could hear the ocean in my head. and i did, it was a soft roar of sky fighting sea. eventually when my eyes rolled back like waves, he would make me breathe so i didn't drown.
he was always there to tell me to breathe out but now he is gone and i am forgetting how to.
we were very young when our father died (fell from a cliff photographing the moon) and our mother started dating the milkman. he was gangly man with white hair but otherwise very handsome. we didn't mind him at all. he made our mother smile and brought warm milk every night. but we missed our father and his stories about sta
I hate him!
but I love, that smile the curl of his lips, as if we share a secret
I hate him!
But I love, his eyes the ones that look at me as if I'm the only thing in the world.
I hate him!

I roll over in the bed to find you staring absently at the ceiling, thinking those deep, meaningful thoughts you always think.
Once, twice, three times I have to click my fingers in front of your face before you snap back to reality.
"huh?" {gosh, could you have any less brain cells?}
i lean my head on your chest and your hand somehow meets mine. We sit there for what seems like an eternity, finger intertwined, enjoying the sheer comfort of physical contact.
