Moments

 There have been so many moments that I have wanted to freeze lately.

If we could go back to moments we have already lived, I would have liked to return to the past week.

The relief of the finality of a semester

The arms of the person I love

The bittersweet smiles

The first lightning bugs of the summer

The sun kissing my skin, leaving a blush

The pride we put into others

The selflessness that comes with other's needs

I want to relive these moments a thousand times over.

I've been asked fairly often if I will miss home whenever the time comes to leave it, and every time, I answer no. I will not miss the physical place where I grew up. I will miss my Home.

I will miss my Home.

My Home, the people that shape me.

My Home, a person.

Yes, You.

 I'm mad at you. Yes, you. You know who you are. I'm mad because you showed me everything that I could possibly ever want in a man and then you left. You had a good reason for leaving.  I can't deny that. I'm mad, though.  I'm left looking for someone exactly like you. We both know that there isn't anyone quite like you though,  is there? Yes, you. You know who you are. -Emma Lancaster

Memorize

 That very first night. What a night. When he put his arm around me for the first time, it was like the world collapsed into place with a sigh of relief.  Did you know that in a span of a few hours, you can memorize someone's heartbeat? Did you know that in a span of a few hours, you can memorize the way they breathe? The way their arms feel pulling you in as tight as they can to protect you from the scary movie, and the scent of their body spray? You can memorize it. It's that feeling. That feeling. Feeling safer than I had in months, falling asleep on his chest.  Deciding that was where I wanted to stay. And stay is what I did. -Emma Lancaster
