Waiting on some innocent teenage love to save us, too old to believe it’s still possible, too stubborn to abandon the hope that it isn’t." You can always seem to cut to the heart of things for me, but you never tell me what I should do. Been a while since you made me cry man. Thank you. “We’re different, subdued, but okay with it.

Wonder what that would be called: "Actually, there IS still stuff to say, so here it is." or "You can't shut up Matt Good!" All that to say that you shouldn't stop writing this stuff, it's beautiful. And for some reason, as I read the final words of that, "Dusk" popped into my head! ... "Awake, Light, Dusk" ... Maybe that's all there really is.

And for some reason, as I read the final words of that, “Dusk” popped into my head!

… “Awake, Light, Dusk” …

Maybe that’s all there really is. (or at least it’s all that’s left unchanged)

It could be familiar for all of us for one reason or another that no one else should dare to know. That's why I love art, in all of its many forms including a blog post.

You know what you need and so does she. Stop hiding behind the past. It’s time to move forward.

I wait for you at an
unexpected place in your journey
like the rusted key
or the feather you do not pick up
until the way back
after it is clear
the remote and painful destination
changed nothing in your life

Well, call me a dreamer, but I don't think we're ever too old to dream about some teenage type love at first thingy thing... Anything that is 'new' when we first meet someone, no matter how old we are is still suppossed to give you a flitter in your heart... “Waiting on some innocent teenage love to save us, too old to believe it’s still possible, too stubborn to abandon the hope that it isn’t.”
