Cheesy rhymesI want to be your sunset eyes, those blue skies, you're perfect starry night. / I want to be the shore kissed by the sea, I want to have everything causally, I want you and me. / I want to be the waves when they dance alone, the midnight tone, I want to be your back bone.

The End // A short story experiment.A horror movie scene as the heroine escapes. / Everything is still besides her convalescing breath and the distant, chasing wind. / Not a noise is heard except the fall leave's rattle and the birch wood's moaning bark in the moonlight.

The Expectations of YouI find it strange that when I look into your eyes I'm not met with an endless starry sky. The world around me doesn't freeze or turn monochrome around everyone but you. I don't see an endless sea or visions of a setting sun, no matter my determination. So how do I know it is love if it isn't as the words I've heard all my life describe? / Yet my heart still drops when you walk into the room, even when your focus is a place far off. People say it's like a flutter but this is far too heavy to use such a light word to describe such a feeling. It's painful, but I know it isn't something ominous or bad because it feels right. How do I know it is love if none if my words describe it right as they should? / I get it every time our eyes meet or you tilt your head and smile with your head in the clouds. I get it when you laugh to yourself or say something hardly above a whisper. When you focus so hard you ***** up and let out that silly sigh of aggravation and I feel such deep affection. Yet is it alright for me to say what I feel is love when I can't even tell myself what love is?

The theory of letting goDear J, / I may be at a loss for words half the time, and the other half I might have too much to say, but I can almost always say this; I love you. I have felt fear and I have felt bravery and I have felt loss. I can look pictures of us and I can recall everything we did that day. I can listen to videos of you and I can tell what you felt. And I know that you didn't think I was paying attention, but I knew how you looked when you thought something was unfair. And I knew the look in your eyes when you saw the light just right in a sunset and you knew that nothing could ever be recreated quite like that. I felt the same way about you. / Wherever you are, know that loving someone isn't a matter of feeling something or not feeling something. It's a matter of knowing what you're feeling and when you need to let go.

The World Is A Beautiful Place and I Am No Longer Afraid To DieYou lay in a field of flowers counting each bird that passes overhead. / You've erased concern and decided to live for the moment because you always would say, "we might be dead by tomorrow." / Flowers grew from your heart and bloomed across your lungs,
