I won’t break. I might bend, but I won’t break.

“So let me ask you something
Do you think I'm pretty or don't you

And what have you got to say
Well things have got to change
See this just isn't right
I don't want to have to fight
And I think I better go
'Cause this ain't working anymore
And I'm sorry, sorry, sorry”

“Temptation it's just a word to me

That first night I met you, a summer night after a summer day. I wore jeans and a tank top over my swimsuit with my chlorine hair back in a mess. The old poker table was set up in the garage with a shallow light ( Read more... )

Happy February

the month of love

“We were all in love with each other. We were in love with ourselves. We still are.”

“When she took me back in I was so happy. I was just so happy. I really felt like I’d arrived, I belonged… She’d really missed me. She didn’t realize until I’d gone. She wanted me so much. And then when I came back, she was in ( Read more... )

I saw something today

when our eyes met and the world stopped.

I saw the past.

I have a feeling I may be seeing a lot of the past in the future.

Track started this week. It’s been an entire year since so many things. Little did I know last year that taking a step onto that field meant taking a step into a whole new world. A world where I fell in ( Read more... )

You never ask me what I write about.

Would you hold my hand if I saw you in heaven?

Would you help me stand if I saw you in heaven?

I’ll find my way each night and day

Cause I know I just can’t stay

Here in heaven

Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven?

Would you be the same if I saw you in heaven?

Red lipstick.

You would have loved it.

But I was nervous.

Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

Black velvet and that little boy’s smile

one shoebox

a thousand memories

my ‘Friends’ half of the ‘Best Friends’ key chain Emily and I had

the footlocker key chain that Izar gave me

the bag that Jeff gave me the ring in, in sixthgrade

a note he wrote me, telling me I was beautiful

the movie stub from when I saw “Toy Story” with Emily

my detention slip that I got in seventh grade with ( Read more... )

I’m sorry.

I’m sorry that you made me cry. I’m sorry that you hurt me. I’m sorry that I let you have this affect on me. I’m sorry that I care so much about you. I’m sorry that you mean so much to me. I’m sorry that you make me so happy. I’m sorry that I don’t know what to do. I’m sorry that I’m so confused. I’m sorry that sometimes, I just can’t ( Read more... )
