a/n: I'm not sure what to say about this. It's not exactly my greatest work LoL, in fact I don't really like it. It's a work in progress I guess, I think the ending needs more but my mind isn't working right now. Lemme know what you think please, if it's terrible just tell me and I wont put effort into fixing it LoL.
You were always right; My message in a bottle and my infantile hope that it would reach your shore like a hurricane, rushing the waves and crashing the wooden posts to your Sunday beach home- It would never be legible by the time the water touched the ink like running mascara on those nights you made me feel 10 sizes too small.
I'm a girl, a simple minded easily crushed but never mend-able, GIRL.
But you spun me until my shoes slipped off and I lost my will to let gravity slow us down. I wore my rose colored glasses because seeing you for what I always had to believe you were was always so enjoyable when the sun actually touched me and I could touch you.
You're just a boy, just a dirty smudged up idealistic view of a BOY.
But things were different then. And I still send my message on the waves of a hurricane.

" and my infantile hope that it would reach your shore" --beautiful. " I wore my rose colored glasses" --too cliché ... rose coloured glasses is too overused, I feel. Try coming up with your own new way of describing glasses. It would definitely make it more interesting. This wasn't your best, but I didn't think it was bad. " when the sun actually touched me" --how many things can you come up with to revolve around this thought? This could be great inspiration, this line alone

I love the idea of message in a bottle. I always tell myself if I ever get enough good poems together to put out a book, I'd call it "Message In A Bottle." I'm just so in love with the idea.
"I'm a girl, a simple minded easily crushed but never mend-able, GIRL."
Sounds like me right now, easily crushed.
"You're just a boy, just a dirty smudged up idealistic view of a BOY."
I like how you used "dirty smuged up" to describe the boy. Seems so real.
I also like the line about the sun. I've begun to like the sun more now that it's summer, and the line was great.
