it was warm
that she can remember
her feet were always bare
but she didn't mind
it reminded her what it felt like
to let down her hair
and run as fast as she could
down the bank to the water
looking back every so often
to see if he had caught up
he always did
she always let him

laughter now
she can hear it
his words so clever
too much to take
she'd allow her self to roll about on the beach
her hair a wet magnet
stiff with sand
she'd have to go in the water
to wash it out
splash, she'd dive in
swimming flawlessly
like shes made for the ocean
no need to come up for air
theres a tug at her ankle
a steady hand wrapping around defensively
and she'd surface
to the look on his face
terror, relief
but she'd only smile
and pull him under

it was warm
that she can remember
as they lay on the beach
holding hands
looking up at the sky
silently conversing
she remembers
it was stuff of dreams
stuff you can only look back
and remember

can you find me space inside your bleeding heart?

Pretty.
I liked it. It's true. I am not in a replying mood, but I did like it. Contemplating, right now, what this means. It means a lot. I liked it.

Sorry if you get confused by this. I don't mean any confusion, just appreciation, and love.
Courtney.
Hollow.

Come on God, do I seem bulletproof?
