A tribute to one year ago with you

One year ago, I was in love with a boy named Zach. This is a list I wrote at the beginning of this year, which was the ending of us. I found it as I was going through my old things as I prepare to move on with life and with someone new.

Things I loved about you:

• That you always asked "When can I see you again?"
• That you walk me to the door or home
• That you are silly with me; belly monster, Fort Sach, etc.
• That the first time I met you was through your friend
• That when I came over for the first time, you were playing Mario Party with your roommates 
• That you were cleaning your wall due to your candle dirtying it

An ordinary evening

The camera pans up a modern apartment complex in Seattle. Pans up onto an outdoor balcony of the tenth floor apartment. Pans up a girl, something of a woman, who stands with her arms bent on the railing, gazing out at the lights from across the Puget Sound. Her profile is darkened by shadows, as the light from inside spills out around her. Her hair is caught by a light breeze passing by, but her expression is neutral. 

I stood at the rail of the balcony, looking out over the water. The night was warm, the apartment even more so, but the breeze caused a slight chill.

He came up behind and wrapped his arms around me, comforting me, lending me some of his warmth. After a few minutes, he started kissing from one of my bare shoulders to the other and back slowly, letting his lips linger after each kiss.

I turned around, still in his arms, so we were facing, and put my hands against his chest. We kissed and as we looking into each other's eyes, I knew something was on his mind.

No more.

Summer 2012 goals!

So these are a little late, considering July is almost half over.  However, since summer doesn't really start until July 4th here in Seattle, I think they are totally reasonable :)

Summertime and the livin's easy...NOT.
