If My Ghosts of Air Finally Reach You

random chick is seriously in love with someone but is too scared to voice her true feelings

From the forced vibrations of my throat

and the soft moving of my two lips

emits a ceaseless series of syllables, sounds, words--

Oh, nothing more than loving words

upon tender words

upon delicately crafted words

that evoke reason

in my speech.

But what effect, exactly,

do my words have?

Have they reached you?

Will they ever reach you?

In the past, I had yearned to confess
an endless declaration of love,
loyalty, and devotion to you--
and only, only you.
However,
I knew that there was only so much I could do
to try to make my words effective.
I was sure that you changed my life,
seeing as you had shone a brilliant light into it,
but oh! Could I really do the same for you?
Could I really succeed in making you
feel the same sensation of adoration
for me that I have always felt
whenever my eyes were blessed by your singular sight?
And so, I couldn’t help but anxiously, tearfully wonder:
Can my feelings and my words reach you?
Will they ever reach you?

Ah, though I may have once felt faint

at the thought of you,

I can now summon the courage

to stand tall and strong,

since I now know that it might be worth it

to take a leap at love after all!

And so, for the time being,

I intend to carefully pick

the sweetest words from within my heart

like how you’d pick only the

prettiest flowers from a garden.

Carrying them with earnest intentions,

I hand them over to you and

thus begin my special love song.

As I utter these words, I pray,

I pray,

I so fiercely, honest to God pray

that you feel something magical

resonate with your heart--

the same enchanting magic,

the same sensation of adoration

that I have always felt for you.

Please, oh please,

let my words reach you.

Let them finally reach you,

and in return--

if it wouldn’t be too selfish to ask--

you might summon

some words of newfound love

to announce to me--

and only, only me.

I promise you, my dearest love,

that I have patiently waited an eternity

for you to discover and share my feelings.

But I also promise

that you will not

have to wait

even a second

for your

hopefully

fluttering heart

to find a way

to reach mine.

Author's Note

honestly, writing this was pretty weird because I've never been in love before. This made it difficult for me to explain our narrator's strong love, since I have absolutely no experience with romantic love, but hey! I did it to the best of my abilities.
