The rainbow, ever considered how it's a mixture of the good and bad? It's the sun and the rain, so see you need both to come out with something even more amazing. It's like life's lessons. You need the ups, as much as you need the downs, and then you can say you've truly lived. Then you can find yourself.
A poem to Abbie...the best friend.
The Happy Things
The city spins,
Nothing else matters,
The empty feelings gone,
The tears turned to smiles,
The smiles break into laughs.
The people talk,
But we don�t hear,
We�re lost in this together.
This that has been gone for so long.
It�s all coming back now.
We don�t feel alone anymore.
The sky seems brighter these days,
The sun shines and warms us deep inside,
The clouds fluffy in decoration.
The birds chirp a song of joy.
And so we sit,
Contemplating the time gone by,
The time we�ve spent apart.
And then we say it doesn�t matter,
Because we�re together now.
I feel complete when you�re here,
I feel me once again.
I can see myself beaming brightly,
I try not to think of when you�re gone.
Instead of when I�ll see you again.
And every laugh we share,
Every smile that no one gets,
It�s all about us.
About the friendship we�ve made and kept.
About our days growing old in Florida.
Still going there for fun,
Still seeing Kevin and making fun of him.
Still laughing as you pick up yet another guy.
And exploring Shell Islands for sand dollars,
My special money as I called it�
And so I was told to write,
A happy poem,
Someone asked why everything is so sad,
Why no one writes about the rosy things anymore.
And this is what came out.
Be it sad or happy,
Be it absolutely nothing,
We get it.
We know what it�s all about,
And why it�s so important.
A poem to Chris:
I want a love that even time stands still for.
I want to feel the world spinning.
I want to look in your eyes,
And get lost in your soul.
And then i want to resurface,
Only to look at you,
And escape away again.
-Jess
More to come maybe...
