Fall

Vibrant greens fading into the sunset as the air bites my skin and the seasons change once again
The memories slowly drift to the ground, fly and flow around, its all a broken sound
As the children play each leaf is found
Our memories make for quite the playground.

Yellow orange red then brown, they turn to dust
We can't be found

Once vibrant green, now underground, our memories won't exist now
We can't be found
We can't be found

Our memories don't exist now.

Real talk

Real talk. 
I love your laugh
The way you light up when you hit even a 4 in excitement makes me smile. 

You're always up to a challenge
and it never ceases to amaze me the things you'll do for the ones you care about
Your dedication is mind blowing. Every time you commit to something (or don't) you have full intention of doing what you said you would (or wouldn't)
Anywhere from getting the answer right in Harry Potter 20 questions or keeping your relationship with the Big Guy strong.

Real talk
is that I definitely still like you
And it scares me
but it doesn't hurt me
because you know what it means to keep a promise and I have no doubt that I can trust you

You're loyal
Reliable
Kind
Intelligent
Generous
Hilarious
Understanding
Wise
And just plain wonderful. 

Thank you for that.

Real talk is that I believe in
you
And I know that even with everything going on in your life, you'll do well this semester
You'll kill it at work and still be able to help your friends
Because that's who you are. And you aren't alone in it.

Real talk is that
you're quite the man. And I couldn't be happier knowing anyone else the way I've come to know you.

I hope you see how invaluable you are
and I hope you know that there is a girl who won't settle because she needs you.
because you're more than immeasurable energy, moonlit kisses and late night conversations
You're more than safe arms, sweet words and ears to listen
You're more than the best friend smile on a hard day, the childhood smile on an adult day and the "you're cute" smile on a messy day
More than good food, favorite places and nothing boxes when life gets hard
Boy, You Are More than anything you could ever imagine. 


So thank you for trusting me
Thank you for sticking around
Thank you for your patience with yourself and with me
because I know that's never easy.
I hope you remember how incredible you are and the difference you make in the world.
Because that's 
real talk.
