If ever I could explain life....

times you laugh about. days you number. people you scream at. flowers you pick. balloons you let go. stars you never can count. stuff you write about. books you love. books you hate. friends you adore. memories you collect. windows you breathe on to draw pictures. stamps you lick. cars you wash. roses you smell. mistakes you make. titles you get. names you give. signs you ignore. rules you break. girls you love. girls you hate. puddles you leap into. wishes you throw away. things you number. glances you get. roads you run down. maps you follow. maps you ignore. collections you collect. people you see. places you wish you could see. music you heard. life you shouted about. songs you learned. times you remember. places you photograph. little things you count. moments you let pass by. kisses you steal. phone calls you never return. bubblegum you swallow by accident. stairs you trip on. pages you color out of the lines. boys you love. boys you hate. hours you waste. speeding down streets. rain you danced in. tickle fights you lost. promises you break. promises you kept. living, laughing, loving, crying, wanting, needing, leaving, losing, letting go, treasuring, capturing life. days of asking when. staying up late. early mornings. days you hate work. times you forgot. family vacations. clouds you count. trees you climb. weekends you spend playing. magazines you cut picutres out of. cupcakes you only ate for the icing. lollipops that fell on the ground. races back home. sand in your toes. playing tag in the dark. hating the clock. wishes you keep forever. names you’ll never remember. letters you save. that woman you love. lies you told. shoes you borrow. slides you slid down. asking too much. asking too little. playing in mud. flowers you give. forgetting to call. remembering too late. jumping waves. staying up all night. catching fireflies. that man you love. crying during movies. saying goodbye. asking why. hurting someone. being hurt. laughing until you cry. crying until you laugh. jumping into the deep end. looking through the crack in the door. high fives. hand shakes. bear hugs. whispering too loud. answering too softly. learning, growing, praying, hoping, fighting, trying, winning, holding, seeking, breathing, living life.
