I thought you were just a memory.
Just a thought from the past.
I knew I couldn't have you again.
Our lives pulled us apart.
After years of not speaking.
Not keeping up on you.
I saw our last message.
Our final exchange.
I thought I'd send a friendly hello.
Imagined it would just be ignored.
I had tried to reach out to other old friends.
Nobody ever responded.
For you.
It was less than three hours.
Now, I feel a spark.
A spark that I thought was dead.
I'm now scared to talk with you.
Because I know my heart (and maybe my body) wants a bit more.
I can't tell you yet.
I'm not sure I ever can.
But I'm sure I still love you
Not the same way.

Our Mess and Confusion
It was past midnight. That’s all Cassie really knew for sure. Well, that and she was starving. The woman had been travelling for weeks on nothing but nuts, berries, and the occasional wild game. With the change of seasons, Cassie, knew that she had to make it to town or else she’d be mistaken for this year’s best hunt.
Memories of the Tsavo twins flooded her mind as Cassie wiped a stream of tears she hadn’t noticed before. “Damn emotions.”
A cold wind passed through the young girl’s body as she shivered and looked back to the forest she had hidden away in for the past few weeks. “I’ll be
It started with question
It led to a request
Don’t fall for you
I swear I did my best
We had our good
We had our bad
We had lots of happy
And just as much sad
You fell for me
And I fell for you
We made a few plans
But they all fell through
It took some time
We had both lost hope
Then life hit hard
And neither of us could cope
We felt all alone
We gave it our all
And now it’s time
For one more fall
Let’s give it one more shot
Take it from the top
Just you and me
You know we’ve got a lot
We’ve got a few great years
Some moments that are gold
And when I think of you
I see us growing old
As the times get hard
I looked into your eyes, weeping as we left the dance floor.
You brushed me aside and found a new partner while I hid away.
I tried to find someone else to dance with,
Though all who were there did not seem interested in my dance.
I fell to the ground as the dance continued,
Not even knowing my true partner was feeling alone.
As the dance master's hour of celebration came near,
I looked to you once again.
You were standing alone,
As though you were waiting for your partner to return.
I stood back up,
Walking right to you.
Another hour passed.
You revealed your partner wasn't there as much as before.
I offered a chance to dance a
A Mistaken Kiss
A heartless thought
A loveless memory
Once forgot
How can I show
Or make you see
The changes life
Has made in me
I want your heart
I want your love
I want what we have
As pure as a dove
I can't stop
To think of the past
Only what has come
And what will last
I love you.
Training. It wasn't a horrible concept at all, especially for three girls who just met. Julia, Kelsie, and I were assigned to be together as partners. We took the tests just like everyone else, and the simple truth was that we made a very odd team. Two wizards fighting alongside a warrior who was most comfortable with a short sword. Well... Actually, that wasn't completely true. I was very talented with broadswords as well, but I always felt afraid of using large blades.
I was kinda clumsy. Okay, really clumsy. How I got this far in the training program without accidentally stabbing someone was beyond me. Anyway, that was me; Jessica Wray, t
As I lay here, waiting, hoping, I hear death knocking on my door. He visits often, waiting, hoping that I let him in. I ignored him, and rest my head down again, only waiting, never leaving. I wait for the news, to be told it's ready. It's not hard to wait, just lonely. Death wants to take me. He waits, hoping that I give up, but I see no need, not when I have such a wonderful reason to live. He goes off to find others to take in. I can't go alone, not what I have another.
Her steps felt like an illusion. Could it truly have been real? I wasn't sure, but as I felt my chest burning, I knew that something was going on. I counted each step she took as they matched the thump of my heart. One. Two. Three. Four. Turn.
She looked back to me as I dropped to my knees and she slowly shook her head. I could see her running back to me, a smile on her face as she took me back into her arms. She didn't though. She rolled her eyes and dropped her bag. "Think about us on this, Robert."
I moved my hand back to my side and nodded, trying to hold back my tears as much as possible. "What about us though, Cassidy?" I replied. "Wi
I picked up my girlfriend from her home, just as I had many times before. It wasn't as exciting as it used to be. Even on a special occasion, things felt dull. Her mother greeted me with a smile and offered me a plate of freshly baked cookies. That was her thing with me. She really liked to give me cookies. I never understood why, but I always enjoyed them, so I didn't mind.
Jasmine walked out, and my jaw dropped. She wore a purple dress with black lace. It flowed over her curves, making it that much harder not to look away. I bit my lip then smiled. I doubt that my expression showed how much I just wanted to hold her in my arms. She was be
