“Goodbyes? I don’t believe in goodbyes. I believe in chapters ending, the sun saying see you later to its dearest sky, and people waving their hands to the person they love as they board on a train but never in goodbyes. When two beings truly care for one another, they’ll always carry a part of each other wherever they go even when they don’t know where their other is or what song is now their new favorite or what makes them smile when they’re feeling tired – they’re always together in soul subconsciously searching for pieces of what makes them destined to be right for each other for eternity no matter what. I believe that when two people are in love, warmly, passionately, and utterly in love, there’s always going to be a gift of another hello.”

Stupid dreams. Even the good ones are bad, because they remind you how poorly reality measures up.

* yesteryear *

the hot glow of the sun

makes its way

into my opened window

beaming upon my closed eyelids

the honeysuckle aroma

saturates my senses

as the early morning melody

chirps so happily

the summer birds

beckoning me

to come and play

puppy kisses

pulling me from bed

mom’s morning cooking

is dancing in my head

getting ready,

making long brown pigtails

and lacing up the white keds

friends soon knock

on the door

ready to start our new day

of fun filled outdoor

summer activities

running wide open

playing tag

until “your it” grows old

hide and seek

is the next thing which is screamed

bicycles join the fun

banana seats and handle bar fringes

roller skates on rocky sidewalks

hopscotch with a willing rock

cartwheels and flips

in green fields

tire swing rides

and large racing big wheels

sweat and dirt pasted on skin

laughs and giggles,

with barbies, dolls and their friends

food is completely forgotten

as outside fun

was far more important

the air soon turns a bit cooler

as the sun goes down

the street lights

start to glow

frowns make their way

as we have to end a day of play

no one wants to go

sighs and goodbye hugs

secret handshakes

and promises of doing

it all again tomorrow

as we make our way home

days like this

of deep innocence

so young, so carefree

thankful for certain triggers

which take me back

to such a time

when life was filled

with laughter, friends,

family and smiles

death, pain, worry and loss

wasn’t a second thought

we loved freely and pure

we lived fully in every moment

we dreamed as we clenched to hope

memories so close, so dear

of a time so long ago

a time of yesteryear
