I walk up the door that holds him safely in there. He usally always comes back to see me from, I don't know where. When he is gone, I am forced to be alone. As i reach the top of the stairs where the door sits and waits for me to knock, I see no sign of a light in the house. I hope to soon see a light. I walk around his dark house until, after a long walk around a big dark house, I see a dim light. I look further too see any sign of him possible. Finnaly, I see him looking at me through the window. I am so excited that I almost forget why I was there.
He starts running down the stars while I run up them to him. Then, we kissed. When we broke from each other, we started talking about what happend when we were apart. I was about to ask him where he goes when he isn't here, but i didn't get a chance.
I left his house with a smile on my face. Sadly, I never went back to his house ever again. I'm not sure why. To this day, I still miss him a lot.

It's nice and very sweet. A few suggestions, if you wish to expand on this piece, would be:

1. Add more detail. Why does the main character feel this way about him?

2. How does he feel when they're not together?

3. Was she filled with adrenaline / excitment when she saw him running towards her?

Spice it up a little, but don't spice it up SO MUCH that there isn't a plot towards it. 

Other than that, wonderful piece, and I know you'll get better with time. (:

Very cute, but I agree with WRITEfluidity, you should give alittle more detail to what is happening, and who the characters are:)

I agree it does seem like a small part of another story.

This seems like a small part of a bigger story. But I really like it. One comment on it is that you have two different tenses through the story, both past and present. You start it out in present tense and in the second paragraph you changed to past tense. Also, try typing it up in Windows, or whatever you have, and you can correct the mistakes. Great start! A really nice story.

lol no it's fine. lol I didn't really know quite how to write it either. Believe me, I find it a little weird when people rate it so high, but I guess it's good to them so I'm not complaining. :)

We don&#039;t read and write poetry because it&#039;s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.

I thought it was nice, though I'm not sure why it is on the top rated. I am not trying to be offensive in any way, so sorry if that sounds harsh. Anyway, your wording seems a bit awkward and there isn't much of a plot. Keep Working and you will do great things!

This was nice, just some grammar mistakes, and you might want to elaborate a bit.  Still, great job.  Keep writing!

Btw, anyone who sees this, will you check out and comment on my work?

You need to give us a bit more detail, because it's fairly confusing as to what's actually going on. We don't know who either of these characters are, nor what they look like, nor the feelings going through their minds. For a strarting writer, I think it was better then some of the things I saw, but needs a little more work.
