Love is like a role that we play.

I was going to write something about summer here but couldn't think of anything witty or charming. So I guess I'll just tell the truth. I hate summer. The humid weather, the feeling of being cooked by simply walking out the door, not my thing. Although I do love the lack of school, I often have to take summer classes because of my lack of competency when it comes to Math. Math and I haven't gotten a long in a while. We probably never will, Math just... has too many problems. Ha ha I made a joke... Anyways, back to summer. I have a good feeling about this summer though. Recently I have had some amazing people come into my life. Now that I have them I don't see how I've lived with out them for so long. They are my everything. Not that I've forgotten the friends I had before, not at all, I've just gained more lately. In a way I feel like they saved me a bit. I became friends with these people when times were the hardest. Not that they knew exactly what had been going on, but they were there none the less. I will enjoy spending summer with them. I think I'm really looking forward to capturing all of this with the camera... The feeling of catching the moments that I can barely believe are happening is the best feeling in the world.

I spend my afternoons
Watching the trees bend
Over the streets we walk
Arching our path
Listening to us talk
Watching our feet
Kick up dust as we start to run
Fast like the wind that flows through your hair
Fast like our lungs as they intake the air
These are the days I wish lasted forever
These are the days I thought I’d never
Live to see
My love you’ve saved my life
In too many ways to count
Taught me why it’s important to live
And what it’s all about
Darling don’t you know
What it was like long ago
When my bones sat alone
Under the shade of the trees
That first poisoned me
Spores of despair
Once filled our lungs
And smothered our air
Burned our skin
Soiled our tongues
Away from the ways
That we once followed
Forgotten are the hearts
Of those we hollowed
Onward we go
Following the light
Our pasts in the corner
In hopes it will be alright

I remember I wrote that when I was on spring break this year. I didn't want to go at first because Copeland was in town and they... yeah they broke up and what not... That was really a downer. In fact I'm still upset about it. Anyways, my mother, brother, best girl friend, her parents and I went to Gulf Shores AL and had a great time...  We were on the way back to the beach house when I saw some trees bending over the road. I really do wonder why they did that. Maybe I should Google it...  So anyways, I guess that's where I got the inspiration for this. I would love to have enough time to watch them bend as they do. I was also thinking of two lovers walking down that road whispering sweet nothings to each other and the trees eaves dropping.  Ha ha. It was a really interesting time if I do say so myself. 

Anyways I ramble I ramble... 
I suppose I'll keep posting if I feel.

  1. That is a nice poem :) I really like it. And hey I read this saying this past weekend at my aunt's house.

    “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away”

    Anyways I thought I would share it. It's good to be your friend :) I hope to see you over the summer.
