Running across the street,
Head thrown back in laughter.
Seriously,
“Who are you?”
The lemon,
So close to kissing.
Hearts beating,
We’re the last two to know
Emo-country nights.
And beers,
And tears,
Walking on the rocks.
I feel so much.
It’s more than I ever knew.
Do you feel it?
“I have something to tell you”
Heart stopping.
Happy, sad, happy.
I’m so proud.
Packing, packing, packing,
Suddenly second place,
No tears,
I’m strong for you.
Goodbyes.
Promises.
Promises.
I’ll never break my promises.
Less than twenty-four hours,
More than two hundred dollars,
A fever,
Worth it.
Two weeks, only two weeks:
Fairy tale.
Perfect.
Make believe.
Can this little plane land?
The blizzard is beginning.
God, make this plane land!
Landed, ecstasy.
Walking along the canal,
Proud again,
Happy.
Then suddenly: that feeling.
You bought a car – for me.
Plans.
Roommates.
Following heart not logic.
Hitting the road.
Red sweatshirts.
Laughing, singing.
Shit, we’re almost out of gas!
“I’m sorry in advance”
Hang my head out of the window
Click!
Captured forever – for longer than us.
The wind,
So wild.
Trying to blow me away,
But I held on (to you).
That first freezing night,
So warm beside you.
The bacon – it was all fat
Remember, “SIP IT”
A long summer,
Only happy on Mondays and Tuesdays.
I should be tanned.
I just found something I didn’t want to see:
“I’m sorry baby”
I’m confused.
You’re shaking.
What does this mean?
What does this mean?
Lots of booze.
Lots of pizza,
But damn that was good pizza.
Lots more booze.
You caught the ball.
The sea of green.
The Naslund jersey.
The Argos win – and we let them know it!
A new life,
So clean and decorated.
It scares me to be so happy.
I love cooking for you.
Apples.
Long fall walks.
Carving pumpkins.
My life is perfect!
Christmas.
Our holiday!
The blue apron,
The black hoodie.
Trust,
Assumed.
Patience,
Needed.
Back to reality,
We’re so close, baby.
New York we’re coming!
The diamond is sparkling!
Ring.
I look at the clock,
1:07 a.m.
“Hello…”
