Embrace, Don't Resist redo
Before the night we spoke of our worldviews,
I thought I'd shoved my heart aside for good.
But after that, a crush began to bud
unwanted flower of uncanny hues.
Was a relationship what I pursued?
Or did I seek your warmth because I could?
I thought affections should have been withstood,
yet in the end my thoughts returned to you.
I'd deemed my reasons selfish and unsound:
to keep you, take you, use you like a drug.
I'd look for you in every face I see.
Distressed, I searched until at last I found
the laughter sparkling in your eyes. We hug
so I give in, hold on, and let us be.
I wonder what she's thinking now.
Our lives have reached a gap.
I wonder if our wandering thoughts
could ever overlap.
To think how easily I fell
to such a desperate state.
Addicted to her presence by
a force I can't sedate.
When I lent her a pen one day,
I felt our fingers touch.
If only we could touch some more
I wished for it so much.
A memory of time we spent.
I'm sure we're friends at least.
Her laughter chiming in my ears,
my love for her increased.
I sometimes catch myself mid-smile
Although I am alone.
It is the very thought of her
That warms me to the bone.
So when my eyes can't find her shape,
I fall into
Before you told me from your point of view,
I thought I'd pushed my heart aside for good.
I ran away since first, I understood,
The damage to myself I must undo.
Is it companionship that I pursue?
Or did I seek your warmth because I could?
I ought to let you go; I know I should,
But in the end my thoughts were stuck on you.
I deemed my reasons selfish and unsound,
To take you, keep you, use you like a drug.
I'd look for you in every face I see,
All focus lost 'til in your eyes I found
Acceptance, laughter, guides us to a hug
Where I give in, hold on, and let us be.
"Sarah, why are you playing all by yourself?" Ms. Ruby walked over to me in my beanbag chair. I looked up at her and straightened my glasses.
"I'm not playing by myself. I'm playing with Jonny!" I presented the little black and white kitten who also went to daycare every day.
"Well, maybe you and Jonny would like to play with other friends?"
"Friends? Okay! I like playing with friends!" I beamed and hugged Jonny tight.
"Why don't you go see if Rebecca and Kristy want to play?" She directed me toward the painting sets in the corner, where Rebecca and Kristy were drawing.
I skipped over to them with Jonny dangling in my arms. I grabbed a p

Don't Forget that Summer redo
On the last night,
in a circle, heads rest upon blankets, meteor shower.
Didn't know which way to look
to catch sight of each streak of light.
But gasps from all around
would confirm the passing of another shooting star.
The passing of another summer day.
Those waking hours were just packed:
a full day's time devoted
to arranging a present of song and love
for a birthday celebration.
Another, the wild spiral down on a rollercoaster,
made all the more fun
by the presence of peers and panic.
A day for hiking, a day for biking,
and a fancy tea party in the front yard:
the incongruity of every flavor of hot drink
with a gro
"Well, isn't this touching?" Spencer's drawl echoed from across the park.
Tetra cringed and let her fingers slide out of Luke's grip as Spencer strolled briskly toward them.
"Fancy seeing you out here, Luke," Spencer sneered, hardly meeting Luke in the eyes as he caught up to the couple in just a few strides.
"Hey, Spence," Luke stammered, stiffening as Spencer drew closer. Even though he towered over Spencer, Luke somehow seemed less impressive and more awkward than the shorter, dark-haired teen.
"We we're just on our way to the movies!" Tetra piped up. "Did you want to come?"
"And be the third wheel? No, I don't thin
At first the room is eerie: empty
except for the grand piano, cramped
with blank walls
and a single window. The door swings shut
as he and I creep inthe slam echoes
and feels too loud, as if we are disturbing
the barrenness. We sit down on that wooden bench
in the music practice room. The keyboard
lies before us, calling me to place my hands
on the ivory and ebony. Then he
puts his hands next to mine. A gentle warmth
seeps across my skin; the window has no shutters
to keep the sun from encroaching
on our piano playing
in the little room, where we
try to liven up our surroundings
by pushing down on those stiff, cold

Thirteen pages
I wrote and sorted and polished:
an ode to her beauty,
a letter confessing all,
an essay of my love.
Undoubtedly, she would be persuaded
by my silver-tongued writings.
I closed my eyes and took a confident step,
turned the doorknob to the outside
where a gust of wind greeted me.
With another step, I was lifted into the air.
The clouds, blackened, a swirl of ominous red and gray,
and even though I was spiraling through the sky,
I could only think of her,
as the thirteen pages slipped from my fingers.
With steady but unsettling cracking,
a tree crushed the house.
The furniture flipped outside, covers wrenched off
so i actually met him back in april
when i visited jhu
for open house
he was just one random kid
same major
went with me and my friend
and sat in on a biomedical engineering class of some sort
i didn't really know who he was at that point though
he was with us
but i didn't even know his name
so he was just a kid
didnt think much of him at all
sometime right as school was starting
i saw him at our candle lighting induction ceremony
and i was like
being myself, spaztic, etc
"omg you!! you're that kid who i met at open house"
and he's like 'o.o'
but then later he said he remembered
XD
hahahaha
:D
you know me
hehe
so we ex
I can't wait to hug his guts out
lol
but seriouslys
i expect to see him
jump into his arms
and squeeze
until one of us collapses to the floor
maybe both of us
hahaha
it really must be an addiction
nothing feels better than being in his arms
feeling his warmth... sharing our warmth
the feeling of missing someone or something
to the strongest degree
didnt know i could feel it
dont know if i am feeling it
cuz how would i know?
im such an inexperience, silly, overexaggerating little girl, after all
but up to this point
this is all so real to me
and so incredible
and so much warm fuzzy dawwww ness
i hate the word love
because i would always be forced to create a definition for it
yet i still dont know it
dont know if i'll ever know it
but ignoring all that
i feel like i'm closer to love that i ever thought i could be. <3
