like anything
they come easy
naturally
so perfectly timed
and then they're gone.
wooshed away like the smoke of a candle
a memory no longer needed.
but perfectly on time so soon after.
again and again
the tap keeps dripping
then seals shut
ready to release when the world is at its weakest
and the hearts of those so willing to hate are at their kindest
oh,
kindness.
so fragile,
skittish.
a bunny in a field. constantly hunted. always waiting.
the chase is so close now.
oh well,
it will never last.
time to move on.
but wait!
don't forget your awards
the medals and jewels you keep safe within your heart
because you might need to prove
that all those tears
are simply lies made of diamonds
that turn to gold.

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!"
