#finalgoodbye
Wooden, hardened, treated as a door with none but emptiness beyond. Walk through me, pass through the scented door. Cherish the ever so little sanctuary the door provides. Hold dear to the beautiful scents of the door. A door holds no lasting imprint on those walking through it, yet every grip on the handle leaves a stain. Some are what you carry along, others merely a passerby. How have I gone from one to the other? Taught by life, for if your back is to a wall, none must stab it. How must I live when eternal bonds know not the path to my heart? Forever stained by the shadow of solidarity, protected from the burning warmth I once craved, bare to the cold I once hated. Truly, time is all.

graduation
Stood by the entrance of a coffee shop, Dark green t-shirt, burnt papers in hand, The last exam solved, the weight lifting off my shoulders. Friends around, a drink in hand—laughter in the air. If I had known that was the last time I’d see you, I would have cherished every second. I would have gone for the hug instead of the fist bump. I would have taken a picture with you, by the mirror, So time couldn’t steal the moment away. I would have ignored the world—every friend, every noise— And given you my full attention. I would have frozen time in the moment we stood side by side. I would have known that your journey home Was the path that would separate us. I would have looked into your eyes and stayed there, My gaze filled with nothing but love.
