Favorite Quote:
“Perhaps I write for no one. Perhaps for the same person children are writing for when they scrawl their names in the snow.” - Margaret Atwood


Tick.
The days,

Minutes.


Tick.
The years,

A whisper.

Time is fast.

A day,

Useless.
Seven years I watched,

I waited,


I.


Loved.
I whispered,

I longed,


I wondered.

A look,

Took the minutes.
A smile,

Stole time.
Our,

Laugh,
Sent me spinning.
Our,

Moments,
Prompted why.

If a bond,

A love,
Shared. Acknowledged.
Gives but,

No more chance.
Why does this love,

Prompt us not to dance.

A hidden smile,

Glance,


Laugh.
A hidden love,

Longing,


Glance.

A breeze to pass,

A seven year building.
An itch worth is scratch,

Our chance worth taking.

Should I speak,

or be silent.
Worth the risk,

Worth the loss.

Should I cherish

A friendship.
Should I,

From my heart,


Be taught.



Tick.
Time flashes.


Tick.
A stand still.


Tick.
Am I ready?


Tick.
Lines riddle my face,


Love Ages.

When you have grown with someone through the roughest years, it's hard to wade through fears and decide what's worth more. Friendship, or being heard?
