Poetry on Odyssey: The Best You've Ever Had

When you're thinking of what could've gone wrong.

How.

How can one brush off

all of the memories,

all of the feelings,

all of the struggles,

into a dustpan and toss it out?

Did it hurt to pick up the pieces?

Was it hard to resist the urge of putting it all back together?

Were they painful to pick up?

They say love is a crazy thing.

But what makes it so crazy?

The way it makes you feel invincible

And way it makes you feel helpless?

Is it the euphoric sensation of free falling into what you call love?

Or the way it drives you insane because you’d do ANYTHING for it?

I bet it feels nice to finally feel like you are out of control,

Because if something goes wrong, at least it isn't your fault, right?

Love may be crazy, but it is also beautiful.

But what is the definition of beauty?

It’s open for interpretation, it is different for everyone.

Unfortunately, we did not meet eye to eye with this.

Beauty is not only seen, but felt.

Beauty is not only felt, but heard.

Beauty is not only heard, but touched.

Beauty is not only touched, it is priceless.

There is no definitive value to beauty,

And so, it is nearly impossible to indefinitely know how much it is worth fighting for.

But do not count the money wasted,

The future plans,

The tears shed,

The hours awake,

The nights out,

And the kisses given.

Pain is temporary.

Love is endless.

Do not expect yourself to get stronger,

Each time you put someone down harder,

Because in the end,

You will be the one running from the pain,

While you leave another in vain,

Saying you’re off to find better,

To do better,

To feel better.

But how will you have better

When it was "the best you've ever had"?

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.
