I Can't Be Him

A letter of love to my dear sweet Petra,

Fire burns deep within my body. Its eating me from the inside out, but... It doesn't hurt? Its warm, and pleasant. Killing me, but not painfully.

It reminds me of you.

Your skin, so warm, pressed against mine as you held me close and told me that you loved me.

Your hair, soft, and flame colored.

Were you an angel? No... You weren't an angel. You were more than that. A goddess, I would worship the ground you walked on.

I would be anyone, anything, if it meant you would notice me. Maybe even get a smile out of that beautiful face.

I know, I'm not the most attractive person in the world... But I think you are. And God I want you to be mine, so badly. Please just notice me.

What can I do? Ill be there when you need me.... But so will he..

Ill help you out if you need extra training... But... Hes more qualified for that

Oh! I can save you when you're in danger!

....

He can do that too...

I can actually care for you!! That's something that he can't! Look at the guy, he's a freaking robot!

That doesn't matter huh?...

I'll have to be like him.

But.

I can't BE him

But I can be me.

I wish that were enough.
