Favorite Quote:
I ended up falling in love with the moon, because it faithfully showed up, night after night.

And I still to this day

Can not sleep in

My own bed at night

Because,

Your initials

Are carved into my desk that

Is sitting across from me

And,

All I do is stare at

Those few lines that I crossed out

Your initials with hastily in anger

And it may be just

A useless shoutout to the void

But,

I replay our last conversation

Till the moon is no longer

High in the night sky

Reminding me of you
