Free Second Hand
Love and Choises Repeating in Life
You draw your life freehand
Choose your path and regret
Try again, wiser now
.
In the thrift shop they stand
Second-hand items
Dust gathering
.
A cherished memory for one
Becomes a new love
Second-hand?
.
In the battle for companionship
The one and only is found
Until the flame dies
.
Maybe there's another
Who will take a second-hand
Love
.
Cups and trinkets from others
Flow in as the first choice
Do you in my life?

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!"
