"The rondo is a musical form that contains a principal theme which alternates with one or more contrasting themes..." - Oxford University Press
______________________________________________
Eternally we dance - a rondo in each others arms,
Clutching at threads of memory and past -
Little more than life's final gasps.
Into the darkness we waltz,
Parting for one final assault -
Shouldering the gravity of worlds and bodies,
Equally crumbling under the annihilation that we embody.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
