Happy birthday, August! It seems like so long ago when we first met. I miss you, and I hope that you have a very blessed birthday and day! I hope that my writing is a wonderful present for you. I miss you so much, and I tend to get to thinking about what it would be like to visit you again or to have kept living there and not have moved back despite everything as it can be hard when I just want to see all of my friends all the time even though there is a thousand miles between us, I wish I could walk there and see you. I miss you, and I prayed for you when things became difficult for you over there, and I wish you the best with every new decision. I hope that we can somehow visit each other soon! I remember the cards that you would give me on my birthdays down there, and I remember middle school so clearly. It's odd how fast time seems to pass by as somehow I've made it to college when not too long ago, I was in middle school, and before that Elementary and Primary school, and shortly after starting high school. Time passes much too quickly sometimes, and I hope it really does allow us the time and ability to visit with each other! I wish you and your family well in health and everything in between. I love you. I miss you as you are one of my very best friends regardless of the distance between our homes now. I hope your birthday goes well!
It starts slow
for them,
A budding flower
just for two
Sally learns of more of Jack often
She knows so much - but not enough
Everyday with him seems better than the last
Jack feels the same
Sally smiles as she watches her husband sleep
She curls up beside him,
lost in daydreams of their life together so far
They love each other
from the deepest parts of their souls
She and Jack would keep living
and discover more to love about each other
despite their 'thorns.'
