She wanted to knoho did my tattoo since I’m only sixteen, but I refused to tell her I’uess because I’m pretty sure it was just last month that I mentioned Andrew’s older brother was a tattoo artist

Anyway She was upset, but I swore to her I wouldn’t get another one She told me to make sure I never take off my shirt in front of Dad

I’h with it I was half-kidding when I said we should do it, but when you seemed excited, I realized how serious I was I know people say to never get a tattoo in honor of someone you’re in a relationship with, and I knoe’re only sixteen, but I just don’t see anything ever happening in this life that could make me not want you all over my skin

I’ll never love anyone like I love you And if the worst is to ever happen and we do grow apart, I’ll never regret this tattoo You’ve been a huge part of my life for the sixteen years I’ve been alive, and whether we end up together in the end or not, I want to remember this part of my life Andthan an assuether Either way, I’d hope that fifteen years frorateful for this chapter in our lives, and there won’t be an ounce of regret Whether we’re together or not

I will say, I think you’reto have to be the one to calm you down and reassure you that the pain was only temporary, but it turned out to be the other way around Maybe mine hurt more than yours ;)

Okay, it’s late I’ht, but true to forhts out to you in a letter first I know I’ve said it before, but I love that we still write letters to each other Texts get deleted and conversations fade, but I swear I’ll have every single letter you’ve ever written h to caet

~Silas

I glance across the seat at Silas, but he’s engrossed in his own reading I would like to see this tattoo in person, but I don’t feel coh yet to ask hih more letters until I find one I’ve written to him I’m curious to see if I’m half as in love as he seeht e kissed Or your letter explaining how you felt about it

I’d never kissed anyone before I didn’t close my eyes I was too scared In movies they close their eyes, but I couldn’t make myself do it I wanted to know if your eyes were closed, and what your lips looked like when they pressed against mine And I wanted to knohat time it was so I could always remember the exact moment we had our first kiss (it was 11:00 o’clock, by the way) And you kept your eyes closed the entire time

After I left, I went home and I just stared at the wall for an hour I could still feel your mouth on mine even if you weren’t there anymore It was crazy and I don’t know if that’s supposed to happen And I’nored all your phone calls after that I didn’t mean to worry you, I just needed ti, and I have to do it alone And you kissingI’ve wanted this to happen for a long ti to think we’re crazy I’ve heard my e, but I don’t think that’s true Adults like to pretend that our feelings aren’t as big and i to really knoe want But I think ant is similar to what they want We want to find someone who believes in us Who will take our side andwill happen and it will change the fact that you’re my best friend We both know there are a lot of people who call themselves your friends and then don’t act like it, but you’ve never been that way I’ I really like you, Silas Like so reen apple cotton candy, and the pink NERDS, and even SPRITE! Yeah, you heardfor a guy for the first time I wish I could remember what the first kiss felt like I wonder if we didover each of them I come to one with a word in it that catchesto write this letter for like thirty uess I just have to find a way, huh? You always say things so well and I’ue-tied one
