I've been trying to find you in the distance between you and me. I've been looking at our pictures from our summer in Spain. How that spanish light looked so pretty against your tanned summer skin. I painted my nails bright red to match the color of our souls. I didn't think I would fall for you, to be honest. You're so different from everything I've ever wanted.

Boy, I wanted someone to hold me in between their words, someone who would write Spanish poems about me, someone who wouldn't be afraid of what they felt. I wanted someone who wanted me to understand just how much they love me. But instead I only have you. You that holds me with your distance and precautions. I have you without the words I want to hear and the Spanish poems. Because somehow you don't need them to make me understand how much you love me.

One day, I won't have to look for you in the empty spaces. - E
