Eight Ways To Win My Heart
- To write when all others talk-The chilled wind blew in and he caught my eye as he entered the door. I was in just the right spot to watch everyone as they came and went. The boy with the sparkling ocean eyes and softly curling hair, cut in the trend of the time with the short sides and longer on top. In his summer black shorts and grey shirt I was sure he was hear to meet one of the similarly well dressed girls. He talked on the phone as he sat at the a table not to far in front of mine, out of the way with only two seats. His coffee, a pen and a black book laid out on the table in front of him. He hung up, sat back and surveyed the shops occupants before, to my surprise, opening the black book to reveal yellow lined paper with amazing curved black hand writing. The black pen now held in his hands adding to the elegant script.
- To make me smile-Is to smile your self and in turn I will too. People talk about falling in love when seeing someones eyes but what are eyes without the lines of happiness to frame them. The world would be dull and my happiness forfeited if no one was ever to smile again. You can't hide your true self behind a smile for it will show through to me even if others don't see it. I can tell exactly what you think when you smile. If you smile I will too, I feel your pain more than I ever care to admit so let me know what makes you smile so I can be happy with you.
- To silently talk-To keep up a conversation with ease yet sit in silence for hours, content and with no awkwardness. Convey your feelings through body language as well as words and to read me as well as I do you. I'm not saying we will be perfect but we both need to put in the effort. When one person is left to support a relationship that is when it is no longer. Sit with me, hold me for hours without needing to say a word. Yet when appropriate be the life of the party. It is a gift to be good with words but silence can sometimes speak louder.
- To Know me better Than I know myself-I don't know why I do it, it's like a reflex. When there is even the slightest hint that you may know I like you I cut it's throat rather than let my feelings gush out. I put you down and laugh at you harshly when I love you, and turn sickly sweat like pure icing when I despise you. I don't mean to and I need you to see through it because I can't fight it, why can't you read my mind like they can in movies? We need to write our own script, because it sounds dull and wrong when you use someone else's words. like less impressive copies of a Monet, the lilies a two year olds finger painting rather than the atmospheric impressionism or a Shakespeare play performed as a monologue, no matter how good the words it never reaches it's potential. I need you to paint my world with your own plain words, no clichés, and you will have my heart.
- To be hansom-no matter how plain you feel it is not your looks that make you beautiful. It is your kindness and sense of adventure. No matter the amount of muscle or the colour of your eyes nor the cut of your hair, even your very bone structure can become ugly with a foul personality. It is your love for life ambition and relaxed nature which makes you as desirable as a Greek god. Nothing more or nothing less. A lot of good a perfect face is if the soul behind it is dull or unkind. Be hansom on the inside and it will show through.
- Be childish in your fun-Camping under bed sheet tents in hotel rooms or chalk drawings of far away places on the foot path. Take me away from the stress and responsibility, if only for a moment, remind me what fun is. Tickle me and make me laugh, rugby tackle me and collapse into the soft grass of the oval behind our house. Race me to the tree across the park and wear no shoes, your toes cushioned by the long fresh grass, sit on the floor and make me laugh until I cry with happiness. Keep me young and fun and protect me, with your embrace, from the hard shell the world works so hard to coat us in, because once I leave your arms it is all I have to protect me..
- Humanity... and me-Care for others, care for the animals and the plants, care for the water and the air, care for the less fortunate, care for the world. Care about the homeless man under the bridge, care about the waste from the big companies, care about life, care about humanity, care about the future.Don't care about differences in skin, don't care about your appearance, don't care about money, don't care about fame... do care about me.
- Paint the world in colour-be creative, see what others can not even begin to imagine. Pull a rainbow out of the black and white photos of old. Dye the air with strings of notes and harmonious cords from your Fender as your fingers skillfully skate across the strings. Paint permanent images on minds with your twisting pigmented words that run across the page in their own graceful dance. Be one of the romantics of the world, be an artist.
