wanna write her name in the sky

i want to tell the world. i want to tell every single little person i know but right now it's like we have this grand secret that only we know, and we can catch each other's eyes across the room and grin and know exactly what each of us is thinking. i whisper it into my clenched hands and then set it free, as though it can permeate the air, lingering, so i can breathe it right back in. let's count our freckles like constellations. let's be explorers on an adventure, mapping each other out like uncharted continents. i make wishes on stars, on lucky pennies, on clocks when they click to 11:11, shutting my eyes tight even though it doesn't matter what i wish for anymore. i want to climb mountains or sit on my roof or ride my bike with no handlebars. sometimes i pedal so fast that the wind whips through my hair and i fling my arms out and pretend like i'm flying. there is nothing more that i need. i've got it all.
