top 6

"Top five things I miss about Laura. One; sense of humor. Very dry, but it can also be warm and forgiving. And she's got one of the best all time laughs in the history of all time laughs, she laughs with her entire body. Two; she's got character. Or at least she had character before the Ian nightmare. She's loyal and honest, and she doesn't even take it out on people when she's having a bad day. That's character. Three; I miss her smell, and the way she tastes. It's a mystery of human chemistry and I don't understand it, some people, as far as their senses are concerned, just feel like home. Four; I really dig how she walks around. It's like she doesn't care how she looks or what she projects and it's not that she doesn't care it's just, she's not affected I guess, and that gives her grace. And five; she does this thing in bed when she can't get to sleep, she kinda half moans and then rubs her feet together an equal number of times... it just kills me. Believe me, I mean, I could do a top five things about her that drive me crazy but it's just your garden variety women you know, schizo stuff and that's the kind of thing that got me here." - High Fidelity


MY Top 6 Things I Miss About You
1) The all knowing way about you. The way you seemed liked you understood and knew everything there was to know about anythiing and everything. Such confidence was something I truly admired.
2) Your forgiveness and endless chances. You let me make mistakes and you let me KNOW I made mistakes, but you didn't love me any less, you just said okay, forgave me, but you never let me forget that I made them, so maybe there was hope I wouldn't ever make them again.
3) When you sang in the harsh silence of the car after a fight. You would put on some really good album I had never heard of before and you would sing the words softly and so beautifully, just loud enough for me to hear and then I embedded them in my mind so if I heard the song again, I would instantly remember the words and it made me think of you. I love your voice whether it's saying my name or singing with your guitar on the phone.
4) The way you looked at me when I said or did something really stupid, but really really cute. You just shook your head and your brown eyes bore into mine and I would tilt my head like Sadie and you would kiss my forehead.
5) Snuggling, end of story. Your arms around my chilly self when we would spoon and you would pull me in as close as humanly possible and I could never ever be close enough for you.
6) Your heartbeat and breathing. When I would lay on you or near you and I could hear every single beat of your heart and I would try and time my inhaling and exhaling right to yours and when I got it perfect, this is when I felt so in tune with you and your beautiful soul.

I miss you.
