Okay forgive me for being gone so long; women will do that to ya. I'm sure some people can relate to this piece, my latest. Got questions, just ask.

The night is young as I am reminded
But tonight the age seems too brittle
Existence passing in each silent hour
My only wish is that it will never end.

A smiling moon helped ease this evening
Perhaps a couple prayers as well
In subtle conversation we talked of school
Times of confusion and then none at all.

Stories of friendships and lost relationships
Surronded by lockers; broken pencils
Our remembrances of freshmen laughter
Hallway chases with tennis balls.

Year two without a skip in life's rhythm
Little boys by the name I can't remember
Games of Risk with people's hearts
A chance for confession better left alone.

One more summer down to another try
Thoughts of a future with or without
Car wrecks, frustrated plans in question
Decisions of change for long time friends.

The final straw drawn into senior year
Graduating, essays, and good byes
Pictures to help keep it forever
Desperately searching for the words to say.

Now everything is over except us
Close friends enduring through love
Hope is all we own in life's cruel grip
Will we return to this talk for something more.

Kisses, hugs, romantic evenings
All in one summer night??
