Nikki XXXIV

Say the word love, and we’ll vanish into the fog with guns drawn in a hail of bullets.

Nikki XXXIII

I wish I could just rip it out and hand it to you. At least with you, I know it’s safe.

Nikki XXXII

There are times when I am certain you can hear the silent screams from my mind.

Nikki XXXI

The days run into each other where you sit in the back of my mind like an incurable disease. Smiling and staring. I’m always deliriously happy to see you there and simultaneously on the brink of madness.

Nikki XXX

I awoke to find you there. You were sitting there smiling at me. We spent or time catching up, embracing new beginnings. A piece of me died in that paradise when awoke to realize…it was only a dream with a storm brewing outside in a gesture of understanding. Your smile flooded in unprompted but welcomed. The memory was a welcome relief from the cruel fantasy of a vivid dream.

Nikki XXIX

Her heart is a wild horse in a dead sprint. Strong, wild, and free.

Nikki XXVIII

Is it the wind who is restless…or is it you that’s tossing and turning.

Nikki XXVII

Only the fearless have the bravery needed to smash through the blockades and vails into other realms. It will demand more than brawn and brute strength from you. But it’s certainly well within the scope of your abilities. Be fearless and ferocious…maybe a little feral. It’s all at your fingertips, all you have to do is hunt it down and attack it the right way.

Nikki XXVI

I knew when I heard that laugh for the first time. She was twirling in a blue skirt, sending a dig towards a friend. Before I could see her eyes, I knew it was her. She spun, locking eyes with me, and I knew I was in trouble because I was already smiling.

Nikki XXV

I felt a gentle hand pull my hair to the side and turned with a smile to find a gentle breeze on the air.

Nikki XXIV

You were an unexpected injection of faith I didn’t ask for.

Nikki XXIII

It never fails, when I write about you. A page full of words and you dive into the pool of ink, swimming across the page. The words wash away and splash over the edges, never to be captured again. Perhaps some beauty is just for us, never intended to be shared.

Nikki XXII

I passed someone who reminded me of you today and when our eyes met she knew that it wasn’t her I was staring at. Not a word was said when she touched my shoulder, but the tenderness of the moment exchanged life stories.

Nikki XXI

The timing was terrible, she was out of my league, and she was set in her roots—but first thing in the morning, when her hair is a wreck, her baggy sweater is hanging off her shoulder, and she’s still laughing so hard her face turns red…well that was something worth chasing.

Nikki XX

She’s a creature of smoke, mirrors, echoes, and illusions. A spirit animal in its truest form.

Nikki XIX

Even if I told you—you wouldn’t believe it.

Nikki XVIII

For everyone I have met it can be said that there’s another. You are so impossibly unique that I will never find another you.

Nikki XVII

There was simply just too much of her in that town. I had to go.

Nikki XVI

Trust me Love, if I could, I would have made it eternal; but you were determined to leap from the cliff. There was no amount of wisdom or reason that could penetrate that wall of passion. I know. It’s the quality I love the most about you. Trust the process Love, trust the process.

Nikki XV

She’s locked in a free fall with a corrupted ideal of love—and even that makes her beautiful.
