Favorite Quote:
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.<br /> Mark Twain


Red eyes
Cigarette burning low
I take a drag with shaking hands
Ash falls
Tears gather
Nothing will ever be the same

Bodies shake
Sobs escape
Your ear pressed against my heart
Hearts heavy
My arm around your waist
Nothing will ever be the same

Comfort offered
Tears subside
Our memories must allow strength
Hands clasped
Smiles poignant
Nothing will ever be the same

This was written after my very emotional final day of school knowing that I'd have to leave my friends to go to University.
