The Little Things

July 17, 2023

     I think to myself if all those roses withered alone in your parents’ home, while not making them to your own. Or if the ones that had made it to your gate, had met their fate in a rusty old can. And what stories you tell of the star struck backpack in hand.
    Thoughts like those still linger along. But the other day, I woke without a remembrance of your name in my mind. Abide it was a mere fleeting moment, yet with those few seconds my soul felt whole again. See, the day before I had done something good. Something far more special for someone than roses or ‘Flowers’ ever could. And it made me feel good.

     A couple days after, I tried running from the good. I thought it was for the best, I told myself that. I believed it, because I had been taught it by you. But I listened, I reasoned, and we spoke. We have communication, something you and I had never had. I feel good again. 

     Then I remembered this, and decided to write, so I’ll never forget that good feeling again.

     It’s accompanying song. 

     It really is ‘The Little Things in Life‘ that matter. I had forgotten that. Forgotten how to play on the safe side of the street. ‘Because of You,’ there’s only ‘One Direction.’

      It all came rushing back. The memories of a wild night riding a mechanical bull with a guy named Gibby, and the folks that lined up for his autograph, afterwards, at a restaurant while we ate. To having a burger with Bill, as others watched our back. I remember thinking “I’m not going to be like that.” Afterall, I’m not an equal. I am better.

     I want love. I want passion and romance. I want ‘The Little Things.’ I want someone ‘clingy,’ because ‘I Can Love You Like That’ and know you’ll always be there. I Am Me
