These empty rooms

They seem to know more about our souls than we do

After we've washed our skin of sin

We wait and watch and wish for the city lights to fill our souls

We laugh and party with friends

But when we get in

We go to the window

Looking for something outside of ourselves that we couldn't find within

We see through the glass

How the light shines through

We try to mend

We try to bend our thoughts

We remember how we laughed

How we danced in the Chapel Light

We prayed we'd find ourselves

But it never worked as well as them

And they always found us

They always find us

These Windows

in these numbered rooms

through these halls of doors

we may all be lost

But we will find ourselves there

Behind the windows that mingle the outside with what's within

Where My glass meets my light

Meet me there

That's where I long to dance

That's where I long to grow

That's where we'll build these bodies back up again

that's where I'll build my body back up again.

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.
