Scrubbing the floor when no one else wanted to was something that my mother would have done. If I cant be with her the least I can do is act like her sometimes.

It was stupid to hope she knew. But sometimes hope was all you had.

WE two boys together clingingOne the other never leavingUp and down the roads going North and South excursions makingPower enjoying elbows stretching fingers clutchingArmd and fearless eating drinking sleeping loving.No law less than ourselves owning sailing soldiering thievingthreateningMisers menials priests alarming air breathing water drinking onthe turf or the sea-beach dancingCities wrenching ease scorning statutes mocking feeblenesschasingFulfilling our foray.

I knew in that moment I would never love anyone in my life the way I loved Evan Mathews.

The other day I woke up to find my girlfriend already gone from the house and a sticky note on the fridge that said I love you. Oh my God I thought. Somebodys obsessed with me and they kidnapped my girlfriend just to get closer to me.

The love we give away is the only love we keep.

The heart may freeze or it can burn. The pain will ease and I can learn. There is no future there is no past. I live this moment as my last.

Ive been working hard to become the kind of man she needs the kind of man she already believes me to be.

Nothing had changed. I was the stupid one again. I was the girl who never understood who she was to people.

Nobody really knows herExcept the chosen fewHer secrets are kept hiddenBehind that sun-kissed hue.If I reach out to touch herShell just run awayMy Forever and AlwaysWill have to wait another day.
