chelsea he said i

chelsea he said i
said yes? and he
said will you

marry me and

i - i took a second
to make sure
my heart was going
to keep beating and

to make sure i
hadn't crazy-spiked or

tripped on some
thing in my little

brother's brownies that
wasn't flour or more
than sugar. and then

i, i whispered y-es and
giggled so violently that
my legs wouldn't hold
still and kicked the covers

off and he, i

heard him crying and
wanted to see the rest
of my world pooling

in the pearls that
slipped from his
eyelids, wanted to

lick them off his
concave, rockstar cheek
and love him until
he didn't need to

cry again.
