At first, it is boring
irritating
because I don't want to be there.
But quickly
as I enter the woods
the cool, damp springy air
tinted with the scent of ferns that lie on either side of the trail.
I intrude
but do not trespass
as I fly through the trees
the wind at my back
vast choices for my future in front of me
and I continue
through the woods.
Looking at you two
as you "dance" on the "dance floor"
which is really just an empty spot on the ground
as you hold hands awkwardly
though enjoying it
as you experience feelings that I've never experienced before.
It's always the goodbyes that are hardest
especially when you've gotten so close
after years of distance
it's worst when you don't end up getting to spend the time you wanted to spend with them
Card
after card
after card
it keeps going
the stack endless
the family tree sprawling
stretching
growing
by the second.
I have to write it all down
