&quot;We&#039;ve got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can&#039;t just accept it and leave it in a cupboard or just think it&#039;s going to get on by itself. You&#039;ve got to keep watering it. You&#039;ve got to really look after it and nurture it.&quot; - John Lennon<br /> <br /> &quot;In my end is my beginning.&quot;... - T.S. Eliot


He passed me by
We stared right at each other
Normally we would smile
Or wave
Or look away in a flirtatious way
But nothing
No emotion
I hugged my books to my chest instinctively
He sped up to get to her faster
To replace my image with hers
Like I'm unclean
Leporasy
I moved my sad eyes to the ground
Counting the steps
Conscious of every breath
Until he was gone
Relief and regret
Weak wanting to be strong
Stuck here wanting to move on.

&quot;Someday soon we&#039;re gonna catch that dream we&#039;ve been chasing&quot;<br /> &quot;Seven days without a horse makes one weak.&quot;<br /> &quot;The worst part of riding is when you dismount.&quot;<br /> <br /> Insult my clothes, I say, &ldquo;Okay, thanks for the compliment.&rdquo;<br /> Insult the way I look, I say, &ldquo;Thanks for notifying me.&rdquo;<br /> Mock me and say riding isn&rsquo;t a sport, and I&rsquo;ll say,&rdquo;You say that &rsquo;cause you can&rsquo;t ride.&rdquo; But before you make fun of my horse, make sure you have &ldquo;911&Prime; on your speed dial.

i love it! :)
