I Did It

 I heard his voice and cut off what I was saying to someone else. 

I whipped around. 

“I did it.”

His eyes went wide. 

“You did it?”

Tears formed in my eyes as I nodded and smiled. 

“I got it.”

He hugged me so hard that day. He said he was proud of me. 

He was so proud.

Yes, You.

 I'm mad at you. Yes, you. You know who you are. I'm mad because you showed me everything that I could possibly ever want in a man and then you left. You had a good reason for leaving.  I can't deny that. I'm mad, though.  I'm left looking for someone exactly like you. We both know that there isn't anyone quite like you though,  is there? Yes, you. You know who you are. -Emma Lancaster

Memorize

 That very first night. What a night. When he put his arm around me for the first time, it was like the world collapsed into place with a sigh of relief.  Did you know that in a span of a few hours, you can memorize someone's heartbeat? Did you know that in a span of a few hours, you can memorize the way they breathe? The way their arms feel pulling you in as tight as they can to protect you from the scary movie, and the scent of their body spray? You can memorize it. It's that feeling. That feeling. Feeling safer than I had in months, falling asleep on his chest.  Deciding that was where I wanted to stay. And stay is what I did. -Emma Lancaster
