Love Bites (ep. 2): Sweet(ish) F(ish)
The nights when I almost released my tether
To fly high over the moon
Talking myself in and out of sanity
About my impending doomHis baritone anchored me safely to earth
Swaddling me
Comforting
His baritone made me feel like I was his universe
Talking to me
ListeningThe mornings when I almost crashed to the ground
Because I didn’t pull open my parachute
My head pounding in sync with my heart
About my hopeless bloomHis baritone anchored me safely to earth
Swaddling me
Comforting
His baritone made me feel like I was his universe
Talking to me
ListeningThen the nights woke up
And the mornings fell asleep
Because all good things end
Once it’s broken, it’s difficult to repeatBut I’m grateful that his baritone was there to anchor me
And swaddle me when I was cold
I’m grateful that he provided me with such comfort
When I was all alone
I’m grateful that he made me feel important
And for those mornings when he serenaded me to sleep
I’m grateful that we openly conversed
I will fondly treasure these memories.xNJx

I decided to write a poem for this installment instead of a story. Here is the first and second stories of the Love Bites series. The final installment will be posted in two weeks on Monday, 24 August 11am.

Slutty Sunday (and Saturday)- Our Second-Chance Birthday Weekend
This weekend was amazing.
My girlfriend (we got back together on Monday, September 8th at like 2:30am) just left about a little bit ago. I feel really sad…like I started crying a little bit but I think that’s mostly because I’m homesick and now that she’s gone I’m alone again. But I do think a part of me is really sad because I’m scared because…I feel kinda ruined.

Forever Temporary
Nothing lasts forever…not the pain, not the joy, especially not the weather. Everything you know is temporary…and yeah, the fact that all you love can suddenly crumble is kinda scary but…nothing on Earth is forever. At least nothing that can die. Themes of life, like love, however, tend to survive. Although love may be reflected in anothers’ eyes over time. And the lover that you have naked in your bed…and the father that tucks you in and then always kisses your head…your pet, your best friend, your enemy…they are all just temporary. The pain, the joy they bring…the feelings that make you weep or sing…it’s all temporary. Or you can be more optimistic and say that the relationships you have last only a short “forever” because the time that you spent together felt like an eternity at one point. In the grand scheme of life, however, “forever” is only a fraction of your own story. The first girl or boy you kissed will likely not be your only.
But please, don’t fear or expect the imminent end, because then you won’t be living in the moment…and that you will regret.
