Why You Should Date a Guy Who Writes
Parts of you will always live, long after you’re gone.

You should date a guy who writes.
Date a guy who stays up all night writing about the things he loves and everything that makes him happy. Date a guy who can string a list of words into a sentence that he uses to describe just how beautiful you really are. Date a guy that will write you songs and poems about how much he’s in love with you.
Look for a guy who writes. You’ll know him when you see him. He’s the boy with a notepad and coffee in your favourite café; Constantly observing people as they walk by, overhearing their conversations only to make them his.
He’s the outcast at your high school, but only because he has emotions that he channels through words onto paper instead of kicking a football on the field. He’s the daydreamer in the middle of class, staring out the window right past the horizon and only he sees what’s beyond.
He’s the boy that hugs his diary in his arms so tightly as if he were guarding them against the gods itself. He’s the teacher’s pet in literature class that reads every book he possibly can.
He’s like an empty piece of paper, except that paper isn’t white. It’s coloured, crammed with everything in his head he has to say but not enough ways to say it.
He’ll channel his emotions onto paper and like a permanent tattoo, it’ll stay there; Only until he rips it up and tears it down. Throwing it away as he cleanses himself from the hurt and the pain. Then, he’s himself again.
Date a guy who writes, because you will always be alive. A part of you will always live in the dustiest and darkest corners of his mind. A part of you will always live in the stories in his head. A part of you will always live in the characters he makes. A part of you will always live in the poems that he writes. A part of you will always live in the memories that he shares.
Parts of you will always live, long after you’re gone, scattered between pieces of artwork.
You will be the memory in his head; he plays over and over again when his brain feels drained. You will be the missing piece to his puzzle that he refuses to use but gives in to in the end.
You will be the girl that he loved; His inspiration, his muse, his downfall. You will always be the girl that got away.
