and I love him.

:)

I put that slip of paper that you gave me on my headboard, just like I told you I would.

and then I wrote a song for you.

and listened to a different one.

--

I feel safe, I feel warm
When you're here and I do no wrong
I am cured when I'm by your side
I'm alright, alright

I am safe when I am with you
And I feel warm if you want me to
I am cured when I'm by your side
I'm alright

Careful where you stand, my love
Careful where you lay your head
It's true we're always looking out for one another

I feel safe when I am with you
And I feel warm when you want me to
I am cured when you are around
I'm alright>

Careful where you stand, my love
Careful where you lay your head
It's true we're always looking out for one another

So, I like a quiet time, please
Yeah, I like a quiet time

And careful where you stand
Now, careful where you stand

You know, lots of people are talking about getting their wisdom teeth out. At least, friends from back home and such. I don't think I ever told you about it! Although it was abnormally boring.

I didn't get laughing gas or anasthesia (is that the same thing?) so I was awake for the entire process. They just numbed up my jaw and got to work. My wisdom teeth grew in super straight, they told me that was weird. They also said it was weird how early they came in. Anyway, they went in, cut open the gum if the tooth was still stuck in there (one was), pulled it out and sewed it back shut. Twice more (I still have one wisdom tooth, teehee) and I was done. Bam. I had to get a few stitches in one of the places because that particular tooth was so goshdarn big, but whatev. The whole thing only took about 30 minutes.

Oh, and I didn't swell up when it was over.

At all.

I did have to keep gauze in my mouth for a few hours afterwards because I was bleeding so much, but after that, I got nothin'. :P

Hmm, I just realized I should've asked them if I could've taken my rejected teeth home with me so I could've put them under my pillow for monies...

Daybreak

Listen to this, really. Take 6 minutes out of your crazy day for this. this is an incredible piece of music.

just do it.

-------

Something was bound to go right sometime today
All these broken pieces fit together to make a perfect picture of us
It got cold and then dark so suddenly and rained
It rained so hard the two of us were the only thing
That we could see for miles and miles

And in the middle of the flood I felt my worth
When you held onto me like I was your little life raft
Please know that you were mine as well
Drops of water hit the ground like god's own tears
And spread out into shapes like
Salad bowls and basins and buckets for bailing out the flood

-------

I was a life raft to someone today. I hope I can continue to buoy them up and help them realize how serious I am and how true it is when I tell them that they are a child of God, and that they're worth everything that they are.

Because I believe it.

But that doesn't mean I can have faith for you.

Remember who you are, 'kay? Don't forget. It's hard to remember something you've forgotten.

Iloveyou.

I think I'm in trouble.

a momentary surge of adrenalin.

a deep breath.

a flutter, a skipped heartbeat.

what's wrong with me?

squeeze your eyes shut,

hope it disappears

when you open them again -

no such luck.

We'll be fine in the morning.
We'll be fine in the morning.
It's getting late so we must sleep.
We'll see you in the morning,
Eileen.
