Jo and Laurie

"I don't think you will ever marry"
But I think I will
I think I will find someone
And love them
And get married
And have a few kids
I will live and die for them
Because that is how I operate 
But it will kill me
Because it isn't you
You were the boy in all my stories
The person who inspired every tale 
And It has been this way for years
I have loved you
With every ounce of my being
But it will never be you
So I stand on this hill
Telling you I will find someone to love
And they will become my passion
"Why? That could be me"
Because the stars that shine at night died millions of years ago
And if we were meant to be we wouldn't be crying on this hill together
Talking about falling in love
Because we already fell
Like the first snow of the year
We fell fast and hard
Glistening while we hit the ground
So I will find someone, love them, live for them
And die a slow death because the person I love
Isn't you

    Worship is dancing and celebrating while still being upset

  • My Childhood Home

    My childhood home is filled with plants,

    plants that we never water

    but are somehow still alive.

    Its island is littered with junk mail,

    different types of olive oil,

    stray flakes of salt,
