they spend their money on things
things they do not need
it is easier to spend a fortune
than it is to actually believe

life changes
with a jolt
with a bang
something subtle
somethings unknown

we poked fun at her
when her perceived stupidity –
made people –
feel better about themselves

letting you go is painful
and not done with consummate ease
finally letting go,
finally, without reservation

childhood comes full circle
some people never change
she is shy –
and she utters my name

i cannot begin –
to explain how i feel
i did everything
to subdue the crush
to put up barriers
in a forward rush
