Now he only visits in her dreams
because that's where she left him
His memory pulls at the seams
inside a mist that's paper thin
Trying to expose the love
they did their best to cover
When life began to push and shove
dividing them as lovers
She looks back now and wonders
what life would be like if she'd stayed
Judging her book by the cover
there's so much she'd rearrange
But time has weighed and measured
what is past is doomed to stay
It's the memories she treasures
about the one that got away

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.
