Whiteout

You tell her ¨Oh shut up¨

But with the smile on your face

The dimples that light up her world

As if they are the sun in summer and she is the popsicle you forgot outside.

You tell her you are in love with her 2 mintues later you say can tell your friend

¨They wouldn´t approve of this"

But what is this 

Is she not good enough 

Does her smile not melt your face into those perfect dimples? 

Does her voice not calm you when you are angry?

Is her touch not enough to bring shivers down your spine?

When she talks to your friends they say they lover her but still they won´t aprove in your eyes?

As if you are covering your eyes when playing hide and go seek with your neighboorhood friends.

Your friends don´t approve?

I think you fell for the girl who is not to your standards.

You fell for the girl who everyone in school doesn´t know her name.

The girl who speaks her mind.

Who will make the perfect wife and mother

But she won´t let you touch her the same way your friends touch their ¨girls¨

You fell for the girl who wants to change the world

The girl who makes you smile everytime you meet her eyes.

The girl who you can talk to for hours without getting bored.

As if you are playing your favorite song on repeat.

The girl who loves to cook for you 

Better than your mother ever knew how to use the phone to call the Chinese takeout place.

You fell for the girl

who sends shivers down your spine

As if she is God wispering in your ear ¨Don´t mess this up¨

The one who no matter how mad you are if she makes a stupid joke, you laugh at.

The girl who yells at the TV the same way you do when he drops the pass.

Louder than your dad when the burger place put pickles on his burger.

You fell for her hard.

She fell for you because of the way you looked at her.

But now

You lost that 

You still lover her but you can´t admit it to the girl who you told 

¨My friends wouldn´t approve¨

You drove her away 

Faster than your mom driving down the interstate.

Now you sit and watch her as if she is an old TV show on Sunday morning.

We all know there is not anything else to watch.

So you now have to watch her

The girl you fell in love with now has a new TV show

You watch her fall in love with a guy who´s not you 

A guy who loves her for the same reason you do but he can claim at least 40 more reasons he loves her.

1-40 he is not embarrassed of anything about her

He fell for the girl who, was suppoesed to be yours.

As if God changed his mind after writing destiny 

As if God forgot he made white out for a reason.

You are that reason

God whites you out.

Just to write his name above.

Thank God;

because he could have just whited out our memories he gave us.

But I talked to him

We agree you at least deserve to remember the girl you said  ¨My friends don´t approve.¨

God told me, you need to remember me.
