Dear Journal,

Watching him breathing next to me is like a lava lamp. Entrancing. I just can’t look away. He’s so beautiful with that film of dew and sweat on him, I want to kiss it off and lick my lips. To taste his sweetness again is it’s own golden euphoria.

He always calls himself pasty, but with the dying light of early morning illuminating his face he looks like some sort of holy god of the underworld. An angelic Hades who still struggles in English class (hopefully thinking of me).

He’s not a distraction like everyone says. He’s the love of my life at age 16. Almost 17.

I came into school with the wrong haircut and jeans that were baggy and unfashionable. But y’know what? When he tugged my silk shirt and handed me the paper-mache heart he stole from the art room I melted. Right into his James Dean-wannabe tight jeans and white shirt.

He still smells like illegal cigarettes and the flowers he put in my hair.

The morning lark? I pray it be the nightingale because my curfew is twelve o'clock.
The kind of journal entry I always dreamed of writing when I found my high school true love...I'm a sap. Live with it. Find him for me.
