Run in Circles

We are always taught to think that, What goes up must, eventually, Come back down…
But I could take your hand anyway, And shut out a world that could never make me feel as happy, Hoping that if I could at least Run in circles, I will never have to see the end of this.

Pillow Talki. My parents instilled in me a love and desire for spontaneity. It was always denied to me. In that way, too, they’ve given me fear, and uncertainty of it. ii. With my back against the earth I lied, Silent. I watched planes fly on the same side of the clouds as me, Heard thunder rumble in their wake. I felt the rain and the wind and the tired in my bones, and in my soul, And thought, the world is too beautiful to miss, And I wanted – still want – more than anything,
For you to be there to see it, too. iii. Sometimes I wonder how much of the wo Pillow Talk

The CountdownForty-two days.
Fifty until it really hits.
But who’s counting?
**
We have to go. We have to go now. There’s no time to wait, No time to waste.
**
Why the rush? Life’s just beginning. Slow down, chill out, Stop and see the world that’s flying by, Before it flies by.
**
But the future isn’t written; We are not promised tomorrow. We have the here, and now, And each other. We have to take it.

Falling Face FirstIt was still twilight when I got up this morning. Nautical twilight. You know? Just a little after the time when you can’t really say it’s night anymore, but it’s still not morning. The edge of the eastern horizon is a little pink, but the western sky is still dotted with stars. Only the really bright ones, though.
Just above the trees, a strip of orange faded into blue and that in turn faded back into the deep purple-grey above me, where it was still dark. It’s weird to think that the sun isn’t actually coming up, but rather, that we’re tilting toward it. Like falling face first, except prettier. It Falling Face First

The GameLet’s play, they said. And so the game began.
Rules :
Last one standing wins.
We got out, One by one. You were usually first, Reckless as you are. The rest of us were a little more careful.
But you would cheat, Distract, And tickle, until I laughed ‘til I cried And got out, too.
Cost me three lives, you did, Although you did try to help for a bit. We made a pretty hopeless team.
**
The power went out in the storm.
So did we.
The game changed, But the rules st The Game

A ReasonTwenty miles pass us by and this bus still lacks the oxygen to breathe, And my lungs would hold on for greater distances if need be, for the Only meters that matter are the ones I gather each day the Sun will Shine on our blossoming dreams; can you see what I mean, beautiful? Oh, as I willingly wipe away the dust from the heart on my sleeve,
I try hard not to look directly into your eyes, but the window reveals Everything that my shyness cannot; like how the hue of blue radiates Like an open-sky day with reflections of our future painted with clouds: Will it be full of the everyday memories I h A Reason

I've actually been on like a hiatus for the past few months.

Words just don't come like they used to.

But thank you.
