Why did I go?

Rain falls from the sky, 

Yet my feet are cemented on the ground. 

And the water beads on my face, 

Turning my hair wet when I wish it were dry. 

But somehow I don't care. 

For I want to take this moment in again,

For the first time. 

 

To feel the warm and light of the fire, 

The orange, red of the flame. 

The way the sky always stayed the same, 

For years it was part of my life, 

And it was the same every day. 

 

I want to see your face for the first time, 

As we tell our stories, 

Talking through the fence, 

That separated us. 

 

I want to sit on the bus, 

Another cold morning, 

As the frost is stained on the window. 

Calming me as I remember the past times. 

 

I want that goodbye to last forever, 

So it never truly ends. 

Everything should stay the same. 

And I'll remember your face forever. 

And we'll stay the same. 

Forever.

    I'm 14. 
    And I just saw Bruce Springsteen
    Live for the first time. 

    I've loved him and his music since I was 6. 
    I've listened to him religiously since I was 7.

    018751 this was the lunch code I was given 
    My first day of third grade 
    My teacher wrote on my hand 
    With a green marker that smelled like berries 

    018751 this was the passcode for my first email
