Little Squiggles - Ryan Ramirez (which ebook reader txt) 📗

My squiggle, the little mark on the page surrouded by the big important words

Told, known as a mistake since birth to everyone but I. How ironic.

Because you and I were at each other's throats before our eyes even met, and we always said we'd never like each other let alone love.

Known you for an exact year, about a month ago, but the memories could fill up ten.

You treat me like the child you don't have, like I NEED PROTECTION.

Annoy me like a brother, care like a best friend, love like a husband.

You always support my weaker side, holding me up when everything collapses around us, constantly making me feel perfect no matter how many times I say I'M NOT.

Those subtle flirts that make me blush. but that I brush off as nothing because I don't want this to change, I don't want us to change.

Those little sparks are sent flying in my direction and yes they burn but I numb the pain with the thought of your face, your eyes and smile, because they are my drugs. 

You are my drug.

I am in love with my best friend.

But not in the romantic, mushy gushy, crushing on you way.

I'm in love with the person you are and how true you can be.

And no matter how much you try to change I won't let you.

I'll always be there to wash off the makeup that cloaks your true self.

Like when she left, and you were crushed, and you sat wincing at the pain but wished her luck and told yourself it was because of you, not her.

And those days you piss me off, I try to ignore you but end up missing you and the words that drove me away.

So yes you may not have been intended and you may not love who you are but I do.

Because without you I am a shadow, you are my missing link and if I am the paper, then I'm glad to have you as my little squiggle.

I'm stuck with you, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
