Hey! And I still remember how to use this thing!
Wow, have I ever been busy. It's been craziness in my world. Work, work, work and Chris and cottage = no time to do anything else. I think I must be the only person sort-of looking forward to the summer being over just so I can go and chill out with people again. It's heinous, but true. I do indeed like school more than work. Basically the only thing that I've been doing other than marvelling at all the time I've wasted slaving is writing poetry and songs as usual. I've got a whole bunch new ones fresh off the brain, but I think I'll only share maybe one today. The good thing is that I've even got a tune for this one. Hurrah! Oh- BTW- To those people whom I have not seen this summer: call me or hopefully I will call you because we have to get together so that I can feel like I have not wasted my summer. Plans are good people, plans are good. I've also decided to try and write as many people as I can letters for no good reason other than the fact that i want to. so, without further ado, I bring you the Parting

Twilight calls, caresses in it's touch
A distant clock chiming out the end has come
The smiles linger, the memory of better times
We're basking, bathin in the afterglow
And we knew it all along that it would never ever be the same

Wakeful walking backwards, palms turned out
The river has run it's full course
Love always clings on, even through defeat
But a blue rose has always meant goodbye
And now it's time to say goodbye

We met
we laughed
we held on fast
We sighed
we cried
we said goodbye

And we knew it all along that it would never ever be the same
And now it's time to say goodbye
And we knew it all along that it would never ever be the same
but we tried just the same
and we loved through the rain
and we struggled with the pain
but it could never be the same
