Dear First.. Love?,

No one notices, right?

well I did.

I noticed the way your eyes crinkle in the corners when you smile, the way you look when you're flustered, the way your eyes light up when you talk about your favorite things, the way your laugh sounds, the way I could listen to your voice for hours, the way you play guitar, and the way your smile looks. God, your smile. That was my favorite part of you, even though you always said you hated it.

I noticed the way your messages change when you're sad, I noticed the parts you hated about yourself, I noticed the hidden signs of sadness, I noticed everything that fascinated you, I noticed things that hurt you in the past, I noticed your effort in keeping conversations, I noticed your joy, I noticed everything.

still, even though I did, you noticed nothing.

nothing about me at all.
