The girl who loved poetry part 1

Renee was a quiet girl. She only spoke when needed. Except when you found her weakness. If you asked her about poetry you could listen to her talk for hours. That’s what he loved about her. He was Gabriel. He loved that she was so passionate about that one thing. He thought he could never be anything like her. She amazed him.

Gabriel began to love everything about Renee. She was average looking at a glance but he found something new about her everyday. One day it was the beautiful golden tone of her her. The next it was how beautiful she was when her pale face suddenly filled with a luscious pink as she began her rant on poetry. Just today he realized what a strange color her eyes were, bright blue that seemed to fade as it spread outward. Gabriel spent all of 9th grade studying her. He fell deeply in love with her but could never seem to get the words out. He just quietly listened to her poems.

“The trees whisper to the moon
Secrets we cannot hear.
How I wish to stay this way
Forever, my dear.”
