Love

Love is a Denver sunset that passed me by
Love is a cloud that plays within the sky
Love is a drop of sweet, gold honey
Love is a laugh that feels so funny

And yet
true love consumes you all
Did you know
I was once in love with a picture on a wall?

I wanted to have what it contained
The perfect family
free of constraints.
Loving parents,
glorious friends,
and everything in between.

Money makes you miserable, they say.
I know it is true.
But love makes you happy,
and oh! how I love you.

Jack sent me an email today. He and Beth are back at school already. He told me he wants me to stay safe and not do anything silly. I love him so so much.

My wish for this year is that somehow, our relationship works out. I hope Beth can somehow be okay. I hope Cari and I can see each other sometime this year, and I really hope that things get better at school. And I hope that after this year, I don't have to see my family anymore. I hate them with a passion.
