In Regard to Relationships
By: J. M. Blockhead
At the ball I gave her a long, fervent kiss;
To my heart's desire and content;
Then I was drifted away by the softness of her cheek against my lips;
I flew above the clouds, and through the air like an angel;
I could hear the sound of a blissful, divine melody playing;
Ringing among the surface of my eardrums;
I could feel the rays of pure sunshine play upon the nerve endings of my skin and pores;
Coating me in warmth;
Anointing me with happiness;
Oh, Heather;
Ohhhhhhhhhhh, Heather;
Suddenly I was overcome by height;
I fell from the heavens, through the clouds, and back into my own bedroom;
I woke up snug in my own soft bed thinking it was but a dream;
I walked to school that morning feeling empty and heartbroken;
Until my dearest, closest friend Linus overturned those assumptions;
He had refreshed in my memory every last thing I thought I'd dreamt;
And at that moment, for the first time in my short life, I was fulfilled;
For without this information I'd be incomplete;
My heart aching;
My soul left in hunger and lust;
And now with the joy of my heart embraced;
The frown that scarred my face for so many years overturned with confidence;
A tiny spoonful of pride overcame my shame;
And I realized and ascertained that my life was not at its end, but was only at its beginning;
Warm and protracted with long-lasting glee and honor;
And it all started with that one moment of truth;
When I desired you, Heather, more than ever
