Don't You

There are two things that I fear most. One is goodbyes. The other is being forgotten. I am not a fool; I know there are many goodbyes in a lifetime. I accept that. I just wish there was a guarantee that the memories that he/she and I have could stay in a mind forever, never being lost.

I hope she never forgets how it felt when we rolled down the grassy hill for hours, giggling manically.

I hope he never forgets the first time he saw that twinkle in my eye.

I hope she never forgets our meaning of "The stuff that dreams are made of".

I hope he never forgets our similarities.

I hope she never forgets how close we once were, even though we are now thousands of miles apart.

I hope he never forgets the times that I was there for him when he had no one and needed someone the most.

I hope she never forgets our conversation of how beautiful she is.

I hope he never forgets our drives with the manual.

I hope she never forgets the feeling of sincere love, from me, her exact opposite.

I hope he never forgets Al Green.

I hope she never forgets the mutual admiration we share for each other.

I hope he doesn't forget the intensity of how hard we used to laugh.




This is my wish if I could have just one: Don't you forget about me.

Stop making the eyes at me,
I'll stop making the eyes at you.

Shuffle

My heart is like my iPod on shuffle.

Wide eyed leaver, always going

Within the Without

"I wanted to get out and walk eastward toward the park through the soft twilight, but each time I tried to go I became entangled in some wild, strident argument which pulled me back, as if with ropes, into my chair. Yet high over the city our line of yellow windows must have contributed their share of human secrecy to the casual watcher in the darkening streets... I saw him too, looking up and wondering. I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life."
- F. Scott Fitzgerald

A being that forgives and forgets. Quickly.
A being that is excited to see you, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
A being that, just by its touch, lowers your blood pressure, instantly making you healthier.
A being that you can mold into an obedient, yet at the same time comedic individual.
A being that you can make happy from just a smile.
A being that, when sleeping at your feet, makes you feel like the safest person on Earth.

I thank God every day for my dog, Stella.
Get a dog. They warm your heart.
