As I leave he is broken, Wishing for one more, A kiss to seal his love

Bare Naked Hope

I don't have to look far

To see a shining light

Like a star in the sky

In the glistening night.


I am not blind

To what I see here

A man with a heart

And the sight of a tear.


As I leave he is broken

Wishing for one more

A kiss to seal his love

A hug to feel her warmth.


She knows how he feels

As tears fall from her eyes

She wishes to end the pain

But in truth, those are lies.


She can feel the heartbeat

And the hairs on his chest

She can feel the warm glow

Of his head on her breast.


He remembers her smile

And her eyes closed like so

He recalls each moment

Each sensation, unknown.


They can feel each other

A 6th sense no doubt

To the soft giggling laugh

To the cry of a pout.


I can see much more

Much more than most

They have more than love

They have bare naked hope.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
