Looking back in November
Feel the sun and remember
Some things last
Some things always last
"It's the first of November!" Pim shouted from the hallway.
Phil groaned, and looked at the time. It was five in the morning. What was Pim doing up at this time? And why was she shouting? He got up. There was no way he was going back to sleep with Miss Evil yelling the house down. He looked out the window. The sun was shining. The grass was green. He missed cold winters in 2005. Global warming had completely stopped snow and cold weather. He looked up at the huge sun, and sighed. He wondered what Keely was doing now. The 2005 Keely. Keely was dead in 2121. He put his head in his hands, and then shook his head. He had promised her he would never do anything to hurt her, and he knew that this must be hurting her. More than it was hurting him. So much for love lasting wherever you go. Keely was dead now. And love can't last beyond the grave.
I looked at a picture of us today Keely. It was the one in the frame that you gave me for my birthday last year. The one that said Friendship Always Lasts. I should've told you then that I loved you. Right then. But I chickened out. I'm such a wimp.
Phil picked up the picture for the hundredth time that day. He looked over every inch. Then, something he hadn't seen before drew his eye. Keely's journal was open on her bed. He got out the Decode-a-pic, and zapped the picture. The journal was magnified in front of him, so big that he could read what it said.
Phil, on your birthday
I want to say
I've always loved you
Please don't ever go away
Then he sat in silence, trying to figure out if what he had just read meant what he hoped it meant.
Okay, so far it's a bit depressing, and the rhyme sucks, but I think I'll make it a bit more cheerful...
