To Ember,
Have you noticed you're far too often someone's "Once"?
Far too often you make it into their "Remember Whens"
While you're there you burn brightly
But you burn bright until you burn out
And then all you are is a memory
A faded recollection
Just a blurry piece of the past
Like a bubble
Shimmering and floating high
Everything seems beautiful
But once it pops
That's it.
The End.
Ember, quit being so disposable.
So easily forgotten
Quit
F
A
   L
     L
      I
       N
        G
And F   A   d   i   n   g...

So quickly.

When will you stop being just a memory?

Repost if you hate being just a Once and a Remember When. Or if you discovered the repost button and just got really excited because you love clicking on things.
Please comment I love to read interpretations of my work and really any other thoughts you may have! :)

Dear... well, me

when you read this again
many years will have passed
and i want you to laugh at the grammar
so you can see how much you have learned
from your mistakes
laugh at your diction
so you can see how much youve grown up

when you read this again
i hope you have fallen in love
and gotten your heart broken
danced with strangers
and danced with your best friend
kissed a girl youve only known for two hours
rescued a damsel in distress
just to wake up to a thank you note on your pillow in the morning
and then i hope you solve your problems
with too much ice cream
crying with your roommate
and one night stands with the cutie down the hall
and then i hope you find "the one"

when you read this again
youre going to be well-read
successful in all you do
and a marathon runner
or maybe just a coffee runner
either way you must remember to be happy
because that is exactly where you are suppose to be
dorm rooms, office jobs, baby steps, dreaming big

when you read this again
write another letter to yourself
tuck it in a shoe box for another five years
find it when you move to your own shabby apartment
read your scratchy words
look back at all the things youve done
call your best friend
call that damsel in distress
call the cutie that lived down the hall
then kiss your lover
show them these letters
laugh together
and know this is exactly where you are suppose to be
