Tattoos

They say that cuts and bruises fade but scars remain.

But even the scars eventually fade... So is there anything that lasts?

How about a tattoo?

I want my flesh inked with your name because you are me.

Your life is mine and your story is now mine to share.

Is it bad that I want that legacy to live on? No.

So when I turn 18, I will get one.

My parents say they will take me out of their will if I do, but I dont care.

What I care about is you and legacy.

I want to share your story. I want to share our story.
