He is not an Edward.
He doesn't stare at me every minute he is with me.
Or smell my hair and watch me sleep.
Won't follow me, like a lost puppy,
Sometimes, he'll even walk away.
He doesn't love me for my faults,
It's in spite of them.
He'll notice pretty girls, even think of
past lovers
When he laughs at me, it's because I'm silly,
Not cute
Or Perfect.
The thought of me getting hurt does not bring tears to his eyes.
He would not die if I died,
He is not an Edward.
And I am not a Bella.
We are real.
Our love is real.
And that,
Is more important, and genuine
Than idealistic, impossible fantasies.
Screw Edward.
once i asked you your favourite
colour, and you said, "the brown

came out of the womb as a factory
defect, half-priced, damaged goods.

sometimes i am from canada and
sometimes i am from england and
sometimes i am from spain.

and plotted out my stories with
yellow and purple coloured pencils
on index cards. my origin changes
like the seasons.

ask.
"why not?" i reply.

i wear nametags that read "alicia"
and "liana" and "samantha," because
i want to know how it feels to be
