A little something I wrote today. I was listening to Trespassers William’s Love You More, and it inspired me to write a little bit.

I caught a firefly upon my lip,
And as it danced and lit up
My skin,
I recalled childhood memories,
And fell to the grassy floors
Beneath me,
Pushing the bug into the sky,
And watching it light up the world
While I breathed.

March 17, 2006 — age seventeen
(part of a look at the past)

Falling from existence–the pace quickens.
I have never seen your face before.
Somewhere there is a smile hiding from me;
I felt that way once, but the clouds collided,
And time forgot to let us breathe.
