when I can’t feel you near

I think of your hands

the way they grasp mine

fingers through my hair

holding me closer

I know you are here

Text for tired eyes:

On the occasion of my death, how will I be remembered?
Will it be sobs and soaked handkerchiefs or will it be laughter
and heads shaking in collective acknowledgment
to the silly and completely ridiculous stories that will be told?
On the occasion of my death, how will I meet the one that will
usher me through the crossroads of this life and the next?
Will it be with a bang, with a silent whimper, or with my forehead
to the clouds a grin upon my fading mouth and my hand reaching
out first to take her hand before she asks for mine?
Will it be painful, will it hurt, will I scream for it to be over
or will I, pushing through frozen bits of frozen moments,
understand the reason for the pain and the explanation behind
the hurt and instead turn and bask in it, the final sensation
this skin and these bones will ever feel this beautiful lap
through a breathtaking life.
On the occasion of my death, what will be the weather on the instant
and dizzying transition into the occasion of my rebirth?
Will I enter through a storm or through the gentle breeze of
a sunny day? Will the rain drops be my baptism and will my first
scream be only the echo of my last scream in the flesh I used to
wear, and wear proudly?
On the occasion of my death, will the explosion be felt across the
planet or will it be the single falling star spied by a single
lonely soul sitting on the roof of some creaking house in the
cool early Autumn night? Will they feel me flicker and fade
and burst back into glowing life or will I just fall into line
as the next star in a crowd of many that will make up some
constellation?
Will sailors guide themselves by me, will two young souls
freshly in love wish upon me when I come out while the blue
still hangs in the sky and will I feel those wishes?
On the occasion of my death, what will become of all that was?
What will become of all I was to be
on the occasion of my death?

There is a strength that comes in silence, a strength that never needs to announce itself or prove its measure. The mountains have never needed to scream of their own grandeur, nor whisper of their might.

amour

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about love. I mean I ALWAYS think a lot about love. Way too much. But recently I’ve been thrown back to thoughts of love I used to have. In high school I was head over heels truly madly deeply in love. Like so in love it hurts. Some times I catch myself wondering if I’m ever going to feel that again. Because I haven’t felt anything that strongly in a very long time. I yearn for the passion you feel when you’re 16 years old and a boy is so in love and you fall crazily for him because you have nothing to lose.

I want to love like I have nothing to lose

I know I will. If there’s anything in this world that is certain—it’s that love conquers all. I KNOW I will find the one person in this world who completes me. Who fits in that part of me that belongs to only him.

Just like, I don’t wanna wait, ya know? :)


There will come a time, you’ll see, with no more tears
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.

Jenna.

*fyi. in April of 2012, just three days after my 22nd birthday, a childhood/high school friend of mine passed away. these are my feelings. 

I had an odd moment yesterday. I needed pictures of myself from high school for a project I’m working on. So I, of course, turned to facebook. As I flipped through what felt like a million pictures tagged of me, I noticed a few were tagged by Jenna.

Jenna was my first friend. I like to say we were friends in utero because our mom’s hung out so much. We played together as kids but I was kind of always the outsider of the group. Like most childhood friends we drifted, saw each other when our families got together, and she got closer with our other fetus friend, Kristin. 

When I decided to go to Edgewood it was comforting knowing I had at least one person there that I knew. Jenna and I were never best friends. We didn’t hang out much other than on the soccer team and random free mods in the commons. I don’t have a lot of memories of us talking. I guess, regardless of our childhood friendship, my memories of her in high school kind of blended in and disappeared like most of the kids we were in school with. When I really think about it we probably talked more than I make it seem, I’m sure we did, but just like the rest…those memories faded. 

That’s why it was so random for me to see pictures of me tagged by her. I know it’s just facebook, and maybe it’s just because she’s gone now, but the idea of being tagged by her feels so…personal. Almost, as weird as it sounds, intimate. You don’t get tagged by acquaintances, you get tagged by friends. I know that’s dumb, it’s the internet, but that’s how it felt yesterday when her name popped up on the screen. I often look at Jenna’s page. I kind of like that it’s frozen in time.

Before she passed, if Jenna would ever come up (on facebook etc.) I would think “I would love to catch up with her some day”. It makes me sad that she and I will never get to sit down and talk about childhood memories. I have random sad thoughts about my kids some day. My mom and Lynne were so close when they had kids. I think that it would have been cool for my kids to know Jenna’s kids for the nostalgia of Kinzel/Roark simultaneous baby having. 

I will always hold a spot in my heart for Jenna, for what she was to me. Not my best friend. Not someone I would call up on a friday night. But someone who was a constant in my life. Not always present, but always there.
