Chances

Love causes people to hurt each other more than intended which can be tragic.

Their love is the kind told in fairytales

The story that everyone looks forward to hearing

When she met him

When he met her

She was falling from grace

She was all over the place


He loved her spontaneity

Loved how crazy she was

She loved how he was always there

Loved how he felt like home

Cause she had nowhere else to go

She was broken, lost, and alone


It was crazy

Him and her

But they worked

They fit together

It didn't have to make sense

It wasn't about what others thought

Their love was special

It was untouchable

And yet, it was destined to fall apart


The relationship proved to be a challenge

It became more difficult to endure

He'd pulled away

She'd pulled back

The constant tug-of-war weighed him down

It became too much

That's when her chances started


She had one

One chance to make it right

One chance to fix everything she destroyed

One chance to proclaim her love

One chance to win him back

She blew it


She had two

Two chances to see him

Two chances to say sorry

Two chances to save him

She was too late


She had three

Three chances to get back on track

Three chances to refocus her motives

Three chances to forget it all

She took them


She wanted to forget

Why couldn't they see that

He was her ruin

Her pain

Her love

Yet, she would never speak his name in vain


But it was too hard

He kept giving her chances

She kept blowing them away

He was fed up; he'd had enough

But deep down she wanted him to stay


She had so many chances

Chances to make it right

Chances to get him to stay

If only she took those chances

Then he would be alive today


She knows he's in a better place

She's heard it all before

He was her rock

And one moment took that all away

And deep down she knew their love was no more


She still grieves

She still deals with the pain

But she knows he's up there looking after her

Making sure she's okay

Because without him

There would be no her today


Love is blind

Love is tragic

But people should know

Love is forgiving

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
