the dream...
       someone that would hold her
       and make her feel safe, warm,
       and loved.
        
         the wish...
             someone that she could love
             but not get attached to
             so she wouldnt get hurt.

                the reality...
                    someone that has her,
                    all of her, but makes her feel
                    like thats a good thing.

the beggining...
       small conversations,
       a movie night at her house,
       and a small kiss on the cheek.

          the middle...
              hugs, kisses, movies, car rides,
              dancing in the living room,
              tears, laughter, and plenty of smiles.

                    the end...
                        something that will eventualy
                        go horribly wrong, but that she cant
                        see at the moment.

the friends...
       some like them together, some
       dont at all, and some are just
       happy that for once she is too.

        the family...
            some he sees more than others,
            but they all love him, even with
            his slight mental malfunctions.

                  the rest...
                      some stop and stare
                      when theyre doing something stupid
                      but its just good clean fun to them.

the past...
       things that went wrong,
       terribly wrong, but were
       fixed in the end, sort of.
                                
         the present...
             things that leave her
             laughing, giggling, and
             wanting more time to share.

                 the future...
                     things that will probably
                     end up with either biting
                     or someone licking a nose.

the days...
       usualy spent talking fast
       between class changes and
       quick hugs goodbye.

        the afternoons...
             usualy spent cuddling
             on a couch in a living room
             playing video games, laughing.

                   the nights...
                       usualy spent talking online
                       or on the phone, ending
                       with her being told to go to bed.

the good...
      playing tag at the playground,
      laying in his arms, and tickle fights
      that she has no chance of winning.

         the bad...
             small arguements about
             stupid things that were done
             once upon a time.

                   the rest...
                       small moments in time
                       that mean the world to her,
                       and hopefully to him too.

the boy...
       creative, outspoken, ingenious,
       talented, beautiful in all ways.
       he says he loves her.          

          the girl...
              confused, a little odd, scared,
              hyper, and angry most of the time.
              she says she loves him too.

                   the couple...
                       maybe they will last, maybe they wont,
                       right now that doesnt really matter.
                       all that matters is that theyre happy.

The final lines say it all.
Everyone's idea of what is "happy" is different but, in the end, happiness is all that matters - how true.

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Dylan Thomas

I very much enjoyed this piece and it's content.  I really liked how you divided it up into somewhat of a "chapter" style.  It added both to the read and the visual aspect.  Your thoughts were conveyed well and as the reader I enjoyed it from top to bottom.  Well done.
