I wish for the day that will never come

The day our hearts will beat as one

She stole my heart some years ago

And I fear that's something she may never know

I wait … I dream… I hope….

That some day she will see

She's the only one who doesn't know

The love I wish she'd need

The love so strong,

It makes it hard to breath

The love I have for her.

She's my everything... my anything

-Madison Jeannine

It all started the first day I saw her. I was only about 7 at the time.

She stole my heart at the first glance. Though, she didn't notice me for many years after that first sighting.

She was a poor girl from the Seam and I was a poor boy, two years older then her.

It wasn't until that day in the woods, a few months after our fathers passing, that she noticed I existed. When I saw her messing with my traps, I thought it was god turning my luck around. My prize for all I'd had to do these last few months.

Then, we became best friends. The years past by slowly, each day caused more pain.

The day that haunts me now, finally came. Reaping. It was like any other, I only worried for myself and HER. When the girl name was called, I breathed a sigh or relief. It wasn't her. Then, I heard her scream. Of course, it just had to be her sister. My relief disappeared. She was giving up her life…. For her sister. I knew my Katniss, she'd never let her sister go into these death games.

Before I realized what I was doing, I had a hold of Prim's waist carrying her away to her mother, as she screamed and thrashed in my arms. I could barely contain the tears in my eyes.

The boy tribute was a boy by the name of Peeta Mellark, the baker's son, the boy that 'secretly' was in love with Katniss. She'd be in love with him in no time. I could only hope that she make it out alive and not in love with Peeta.

It's time to say goodbye. Forever? I refuse to believe she won't make it back alive. I promise to take care of her family while she is gone. All too soon my time is up and, I'm being pulled out of the room. I try to fight them, to say my last few words. I need her to know. To know that she has to come back to me. I only get the words 'Katniss, I' out before they slam the door in my face.

Katniss Everdeen, I am madly in love with you.

I will get the chance to tell her. She has to survive. For me.

She's my everything… my anything
