#BecauseTheyLoveMe


 

Warm August Sun; a clover for your hair

Yearlong embrace

you watch me walk away

How does the saying go again?


If you Love something set it free

 

Change is the only constant in life

Sometimes you grow apart

 

And if it comes back to you, its

Meant to be

 

But we’re getting older

 

From smooth, glowing faces…

...we grew...

Stubble, wrinkles,

acne scars

Faded away

 

I drove off That Night

You Let Me Go

You Let Me Grow

Rain in our eyes

The years have gone so fast

 

But I Must Grow

This new year

This new chapter

 

I must go Alone.
