"To the girl who works at starbucks down the street from my house on Delmont Heights Road, I swear to God I’m not a stalker" - Rudy Francisco

A beautiful piece of writing, I wouldn't forgive myself if I didn't share it

"When I asked you for a chai latte, what I meant to say was, “I was walking past. I saw you in the window. I only came in here because I had to know what your voice sounded like, but instead of saying that, I just got really nervous and ordered the first thing on the menu. I don’t even know what the fuck chai is, or a latte for that matter. When God made you, he cussed for the first time. He turned to an angel, gave him a high five, and said ‘God damn, I’m good.’ You’re that beautiful. I spent the last five days trying to figure out how I’m gonna introduce myself to you properly and I think I finally figured it out. It’s gonna be something like… ‘hi’. That’s all I got so far. But I think it’s a good start. You see, I want that, 

I want that, ‘my friends think I’m crazy’ kind of love. 
That ‘reckless’ kind of love. 
That ‘wake up early make you breakfast’ kind of love. 
That, ‘crack open my life and say look, you gotta see this’ kind of love. 
Forget the shallow stuff, I want the deepest kind of love. 
That ‘I want to stay up late and tell you all my secrets’ kind of love. 
That every time I see you walk on pieces kind of love. 
I want that ‘stand next to me’ kind of love. 
That ‘it’s by destiny’ kind of love. 
That ‘no matter what happens to me, you’ll always get the best of me’ kind of love. 
That ‘you get my heart and my mind, this world gets the rest of me’ kind of love. 
That ‘invest in me’ kind of love, because ‘you already know that I’m invested in you’ kind of love. 
That ‘you come home upset, and you don’t have to say nothing, I already know what to do’ kind of love. 
I want, love.

I want you to bite my lip until I can no longer speak, and then suck my ex-girlfriend’s name out of my mouth just to make sure she never comes up in our conversations. I want you to come to me like an afternoon- Come to me slowly as if you were a broken sunset with a lazy sky on your shoulders. If you let me be sunlight, I promise that I will penetrate your darkness until you speak in angel ways. Pull me close to you, tell me that you love me, then scratch your future into my back, so I can be everything that you live for. I promise that I will die for you daily, and then resurrect in your screams. I promise that I will love you. I promise, that I will love you as if it’s the only thing that I’ve ever done correctly x
