my_fondest_memories
dafremen You might've heard that I was in misery
While you were away
You might've got the notion
That I curled into a ball
And cried away the days
Sobbed away the nights
Waiting for tomorrow's call
I didn't cry
I didn't miss you at all
Because you never went away

There's a distance that's between us
Measured in the time it takes
To be with you in my mind
You could never leave me behind
With my heart unbroken
Still the time we've had
Must have been something heaven-born
The kind of memories that linger on
The sort that twinkle and adorn one's twilight
Masks the weary, weathered ways
The scars of weathered, weary days
Before you came along

Your time has blessed my days
Both now
And forever on
With my fondest memories.

Mister Brightside **late night drives through the city having Central Avenue all to myself at 2:30 in the morning

**childhood friends and i sliding across the layer of frost on the playground even though we knew we were gonna catch hell for all of the grass-stains, cutting paths of green out of the delicate layer of crystalline white

**saturdays at my grandmother's house

**almost every christmas up to the age of 15 (except for the one at age 2 when i spent it in a toddler sized approximation of a body cast after a large 8 year old fell on me)

**finally learning to ride the bike without training wheels

**making music during the free hour we had in common and driving the classroom next door crazy with my equally strange friends in high school

** a girl named Debi ("Zoe" in B_T_E) my first kiss and what followed later that day

** winning just over a $1000 dollars in just under an hour at a blackjack table in vegas and then blowing it on a drunken first few attempts at baccarat

** driving up Grand Ave./US60 all the way to from Phoenix to Vegas while tripping on some really good acid

** sitting stoned on a reasonably high desert hillside with someone i was in love with, talking all night about absolutely nothing and then watching the bats come home to roost as the sun rose

** sitting on a bench-like rock in a little alcove on a beach with someone else i was in love with, watching the tide and the ships in the distance, falling backward in the sand on the way out,

extraordinary_desserts

**sleeping cats purring in my ear
