The first mile you walk with a person
is for friendship.
Small blisters and cramped toes --
why don't you try walking in heels?
Didn't think so...

The second mile we walk
is for love.
Now the bleeding starts --
little drops, here and there,
never enough to ****.

The third mile my grandparents walk
is for rediscovery.
They're used to the shoes by now --
the "You like pie?" moments;
the little things that make them remember.

The fourth mile we all will walk
is for mourning.
Learning to live without --
blood trailing behind you,
yet the march must continue.
Hi :) hope you enjoyed <3

Dreams are an instant in reality when your mind pushes past the barriers of the mentally sane.
Dreams are not fake, they are real.
Dreams are your mind, processing the higher functions, and comprehending a higher reality.
I know this because I've done it.
I know this, because I pushed past that mental barrier, and I found you.
A girl that has only existed in my subconscious; my imagination...
A perfect girl.
I pushed into my dreams, and unlocked that higher reality, where that perfect girl exists.
That's where I am now.
That's why I have you.

Love

Love

This silly thing we call Love.

This idea of euphoria, that exceeds any drug.

Love

Love

It drives us poets out o' our minds

when we sit down to write, seems it's the topic all the time.

Love

Love

it's a funny little word

no definition could quite fit it, but yet none sound too absurd

Love

Love

some say it keeps them going

It's a **** in the garden, that simply won't stop growing

Love

Love

if it's true it don't stop

even if you won't admit it, there's someone in your thoughts

Love

Love

it's what I feel for you

and darling after all this time, I pray you still do too.
