crossing my fingers

The last time my sister graduated, I was seriously in love with S. While in the back of my head I suppose I always knew it wasn’t going to work, I had been doing a good job ignoring that particular fact.

what life was like before I met her

But that was just a dream
dissipating in the drear of the morning fog
and the light of day dawns
