In the midst of a pause in conversation or the car ride home, I felt myself relax in serenity. My innocent crush replied to my message and although it wasn't romantic or dreamy, it left my brain hyped up on endorphins and my head in the clouds. Oh, how good it feels, this familiar euphoria, this well-known bliss. How much love I have saved in my bones and within my veins, ready to pour onto the boy who is at fault for the hair on my arms that stick up and uncontrollable smile.

I am a bubble floating within this sweet, cotton candy sky and I am ready to burst. I'm ready to love again, guys. I'm ready.
