sunlight

    I forgot again. I feel it, searching for pain and anxiety. I once remembered I don't need to write from a place of hardship. I twist and turn looking for something salient. In a funny way, I found it here. Salience is just as much in love as in pain. Just as present in joy and sadness. A weight was lifted from me today. I found love in the morning, and the evening brought friendship. I woke up with a smile and a stare that was true. 

    I spent my time with pretty green eyes. A smile accompanied this good friend of mine. If I said only "friend," I'd master lying. More than a friend, too late, she's mine. A laugh that longed for a partner in crime. Neither of us thought that one day we'd find. In throes of depression and addiction, our mind. We fall together and leave that behind. A day not to shame, a day of good fun. On comes the next, oh where will we run? Maybe we'll wait for the sound of the gun. Maybe we'll relax in the light of our sun.
