I'd still thought that everything I thought about that day-the shame, the fear-would fade in time. But that hadn't happened. Instead, the things that I remembered, these little details, seemed to grow stronger, to the point where I could feel their weight in my chest. Nothing, however stuck with me more than the memory of stepping into that dark room and what I found there, and how the light then took that nightmare and made it real... ;-(

A relationship is a connection between two individuals. When two people fall in love it has become a loving relationship. The relationship has moved from two people simply in contact with each other to two people who can't get enough of each other. A loving relationship may build slowly like a train coming in the distance until when it get to you it emits a deafening roar. Or you may be two people totally oblivious to the relationship that is developing when suddenly you are hit with the realization that you have fallen in love.

I don’t need you. I can smile without you. I can live and I can breathe.I don’t need you so that I can be me...
I can stand on my own. I can make my own way I don’t need you to hold my hand to get me through the day...
I can climb mountains without you there to push me through I can make it, I can do it, I am me without you...

How could I ever forget you,
When you are my other half the part that
makes two,
You mean so much to me,
And that everyone can see,
Best friends drifting off into the sea,
Me and you side by side,
Something like Bonnie and Clyde,
You watch over me like I do for you,
And I know you care for me too,
You are the best,
Without there being any test,
You'r always there,
So I know that you care,
My best friend, my life, and my brother,
And there will never be another.

Young man with braided hair.
"But that's for girls!"
Yet he does not care.
Through braids, he's one with the natural world
Elaborate feathered head dress
Upon a woman's head.
"Those are simply meaningless."
But the tradition is not dead.
"Aboriginals are lazy."
They hunt and skin animals everyday
This renders you crazy!
Very hard work, I would say.
You call them uneducated,
For "They are not smart."
They should not be degraded.
You've been different from the start.
"Their skin is always red."
You may be fairly close.
But their hearts are not dead.
Like yours, each beat is a song note.
"They live off of alcohol."
That's a fairly generic thought.
It's not the case at all.
We've given reason to drink to numb the pain.
Dark hair and dark eyes,
Is how they're often seen
In this racist world we live in.
Perhaps, we only see what's skin deep.....
