The One: A Poem

I still get butterflies at the thought of him.

Minding my own business

Just like I always do,

Not expecting what's to come;

Most certainly not you.


There you were one sunny day

Oblivious of me.

But here I was just staring;

Distracting me, indeed.


You stole my heart so quickly,

But no that can't be true.

Cliches are just in movies,

I can't just fall for you.


Every time I think of you,

My stomach flutters mad.

If only I could meet you

Without a hint of red.


I see you in the distance

Among your friends of course.

Heat is rising to my cheeks,

An inconvenient curse.


Introducing myself to

Your favorite person, yes?

You run to us, curious,

And now it is my chance.


I knew that from a distance

You were a handsome thing.

Your blonde hair and gorgeous eyes,

They're really killing me.


I've never felt so happy,

My heart so very full.

And then we shared our first kiss,

A slobbery one for sure.


You were my love at first sight,

No doubt of that in mind.

A TAIL WAGGIN' GOLDEN FLUFF

The best PUP in my life.

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
