"I write to give myself strength, I write to be the characters I'm not. I write to explore all the things I'm afraid of." - Joss Whedon


I close my eyes,
and your face comes to mind.
I wonder about this all the time,
If I could go back to 12 years old,
I would've never been so bold.
If I could turn it all around,
I would've never let you down.
Sometimes I just close my eyes,
and take myself back in time.
What I'd give to see your smile,
God only knows its been a while.
What I'd give to hear your voice,
yet I'm left without a choice.
What I'd give to hear you yell and scream,
at least I'd know it wasn't a dream.
What I'd give to hold your hand,
maybe then they'd understand.
Thinking about you hurts my heart,
especially being so far apart.
