RISKY

He makes me so ridiculously happy.
I cannot stop smiling.
I'm glad I trusted my gut on this one. :]

on an unrelated note, here's a poem i'm working on:

"Untitled"

I've studied you long enough to know what you like to hear.
I've submitted to your preferences, indulged your passions, and waited
for you to ask what I love, though it rarely comes out. But

you would never embrace a voice like mine--
accepting, yet indifferent to your shallow, empty pursuits.
I anticipated a realization that you could find what you were missing in me,
but I can't live within your limitations.

I feel like I took a wrong turn and traveled a path not meant for me. It's a blessing and a curse. Thank goodness for family, friends and Jeffrey.

People Like Us

There are more like us. All over the world
There are confused people, who can't remember
The name of their dog when they wake up, and
people
Who love God but can't remember where

He was when they went to sleep. It's
All right. The world cleanses itself this way.
A wrong number occurs to you in the middle
Of the night, you dial it, it rings just in time

To save the house. And the second-story man
Gets the wrong address, where the insomniac lives,
And he's lonely , and they talk, and the thief
Goes back to college. Even in graduate school,

You can wander into the wrong classroom,
And hear great poems lovingly spoken
By the wrong professor. And you find your soul
And greatness has a defender, and even in death
you're safe.

It's funny the way things work out. Two weeks ago I was going to re-post this:


Boys. Boys, boys, boys. They're all that seem to come my way. I'm ready for a man to sweep me off my feet. Someone that knows what he's doing, is ambitious and genuine in his gestures.

I want:
_butterflies
_to fall into familiar arms
_to kiss knowing lips
_to look pretty for him
_forehead & eskimo kisses
_dinners in/hot dates out
_to be taught new things
_to cuddle! & talk in bed for hours
_to be respected and trusted

something familiar, not foreign
something consistent
something mysterious, yet safe
something inspiring
something natural, not forced.

That'd be nice.

And now I have it all, and then some. =]

Dear Summer

I miss you. Come back soon. Don't forget to bring this with you:
