She is More than Just Her Body

"Below the Surface," a poem showing why seeing her naked isn't enough.

She is More than Just Her Body
Solela Malila

She is more than just her body.
Pay attention to the way she speaks about her dreams.
I mean really pay attention.
When you see the way her eyes light up when she tells you about her passions, you will swear that God gave you your own personal star to take care of.
Stop her if she apologizes for being a burden, and assure her that you enjoy her presence and her smile that grows wider and warmer with each second like the morning sunrise.
If she doesn’t apologize, stay quiet; that means she is sure of herself and that’s wonderful.
Listen to her thoughts long enough, and you will realize that she is more than strawberry lips and satin skin.
Her voice will become your favorite song, the runner up being her laugh only because there’s just something about the way she sounds at 2am when everything is quiet except the inside of your head, and she is all you can tolerate.
You will look in the mirror and your reflection will feel incomplete; the space left over when she is not around will tug on the heartstrings you forgot you had until you next meet and when you do, you will question how her soul can be so shiny in such a dark world.
She will become everything you think you want and everything you fear; her words spoken with an intensity that will make you believe there is fire coursing through her veins hotter than the flames of life that forged her.
The only thing able to match the heat will be the way she touches you like she wishes she could burn her name onto your skin, not knowing that you already feel like her image is seared into your eyelids, and as if things couldn’t get any worse, she will smell amazing.
She is a hurricane and you will know this but you will want to call her home.
I’m telling you, she is more than just her body.
And if you’ve managed to see her naked, you still haven’t seen anything yet.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
