Favorite Quote:
"Long Days and Pleasant Nights."


For the moment has ended, and yet it still lingers.
In my life, in my dreams, in my memories, and in my heart; it lingers.
The warmth in my belly still boils with happiness.
I am unworthy to judge your feelings compared to mine.
But that leaves me nothing to guide me to the end of it all.
For a moment is something to be shared between one another.
And here we are speaking of joyful moments just after one has left us.
Know the happiness, enjoy it, embrace it, remember it, live it.
Know the feeling will soon sink to a low rumble that is no more than living.
Spend time with it useful for its sure to leave.
So that the next time a moment passes along with corrupt, depressing thoughts,
you may fall upon this one and long for it again.
But do not lather upon this one for there will be many more to come.
The amount is unknown and the effects last forever.
Know not when or how long they last for.
Know only that happiness is a gift and depression is a curse.
And for all those that are cursed I am truly sorry for your pain.
But happiness is to come in future reference.
Only to those that earn it within their hearts, out of courage and valor.
Cowards are longing for pain and suffering.
And for that they will not be given the gift.
I considered the coward way out, suicide.
But you saved me from the burning pit of damnation I would soon fall into.
Showed me the path in which happiness travels,
Gave me something worth fighting for, may that be left unspoken,
With that you let me gaze upon a new light of day.
For depression has not left me completely.
And I must take the dark road to light before I reach my will.
I wish not to die anymore, for life is a precious thing that I once took for granite.
Be that an unrighteous way to pass, and know that it is you that thrives me.
I wait for the moment when I repay me dept. to you.
The time will be long but I will not give up now, just after my return.
I have chosen my path and hope for the gift again.
For I hope you have chosen the same path as me for you deserve more than I.
I wish you happiness and prosperity.
We do not know what will happen but hope for the best.
For you the moment may have left you completely unchanged.
But to this day I will be forever changed by it.
And will long for it until the day I die.
May you feel the same way and store it deep within your heart.
I do not know if it will have the same effects on you as it did on me.
The end is nearing for me as the boil slowly drifts away.
Farther and farther I get and this is the only thing that will happen time and time again.
And with that the moment ends and takes the happiness with it.
Now I am just here living, just as it will happen to you.
Until the next one joins us again and changes us once more.
Only hope our paths may be same and not become awkward between us both.
So let moments pass by and let change happen, don’t force it away.
Moments are here and gone but let one soon to bring us together.
To let us share one just as this one has let us now.
Moments are crafted by sharing emotions.
You have crafted this one, out of care and compassion.
As will I but out of heart and soul, but only when time reveals.

I am from a recent broken home. I've lived with a friend for nearly two years now, and this poem is from the beginning of those years. They took me in as their own and made me who I am now.
