BFF's

 To MDD and JPW:

You are my brother, my best friend.
Not related by blood.  Related by experience.
We cried together, lost together, grew together.
We share the endless wealth of unconditional love.
Every day I wake up and thank the Lord I have you in my life, knowing that one day you won't be a call away, or a walk down the street.
One day you will fight the wars of our people to keep me safe. 
And I love you for that.
I love you for staying close when I was ignorant, for not saying "I told you so" when I was wrong.
I love you for the hot summer days we spent walking around with nothing better to do.
I love you for the way you kissed me once and told me I was beautiful.
You will always have more of my heart than any other man.
Because that's how best friends should be.

I love you for the way you smile.
For the endless youtube videos.
For those late nights together watching movies.
For being the yes to my no.  The can to my can't.
The "it will be okay" to my "I can't take this anymore".
You've held me close and felt every tear.
I did the same when your heart broke.
We catch each other when we fall.
We know what to say when there are no words.
We love with the fullness of our hearts.

You are my brother, my best friend.
No matter how far we are apart, you will always have my heart.
Because that's how best friends should be.

Song of the Day

Adele- Set Fire to the Rain

Music is poetry, poetry is music.

Sweet Springtime

Rain falls in silver drops
Shining with every splash
Rubber boots squishing on the way back from class
Sweet smells of spring time surround me
And with each breath another flower blooms.
That flower is you.
With each muddy step I watch time fly by
Watching people come and go in and out of life
Wondering where time will take us next?

Just a Dream

I miss you,
And there's nothing I can do
About the distance between me and you
Except wake up restless.
For you are only a dream.
A halfway vision of perfection,
And a sometimes friend.
But you are only a dream.

Wake up, its not what it seems.
The thought of you has been idealized
And I realized that you aren't all that perfect.
Maybe once, when my head was filled with clouds,
But look, I can see clearly now.
Use me no more.
Because I'm more than you would let me be.
You do you and I'll do ME.
One day you'll see.

Now I'm free.
Because you were only a dream.
