It's late...

Everyone in this house is asleep as I am writing this. Everyone that is, except for me. I'm just not ready to go to bed yet. I'm much too busy thinking about everything...life, school starting soon, my boyfriend, the friends whose smiling faces I miss seeing every day, etc.
I've always stayed up pretty late, actually. If I go to bed early I spend so much time simply lying there thinking about anything and everything. I'm sure you probably know how that goes. After all, it's not that uncommon.

I can't believe summer is almost over! To me, it seems as if it just began yesterday. Although, I am looking forward to going back to school and seeing everyone. Maybe even learning a think or two ;)

Hoping your life is swell!

ps. The date and time is actually wrong on this post, and a few others i guess...because I'm in Colorado. It's actually only 11:24 here...and it's still technically the 3rd.
But hey, I'm just not gonna edit that. It's not all that important, haha :)

A list of l i e s

pink is my favorite color
school is a waste of time
i never need to study

How Can I keep from Singing

Far Away

It's amazing what music can do. This is such a beautiful song :)

Trying not to fall in love

Trying not to fall in love
Is as pointless
As trying to count how many licks
It takes to get to the center
Of a Tootsie-pop

No matter how hard you try
To resist
You can't abstain
From taking a bite

Hidden

...and it's then that you get to say
"Welcome to my world"

A world you thought they knew so well
Then you looked
Underneath the veil of a smile

You discovered
That, in truth,
There is so much more you'd never known

Remains
Of another child left behind
In the past

A different girl
Who's still a part of me

The difference in the two

I once wrote a poem about a boy
who made me feel happy.

Sometimes.

Then I met the boy
who did so much more.
