Just Wanna

I wanna
Just say something
I wanna

Now
Is not the time
Until
It's finished
Or isn't

Good behavior
Matters

Anxious still
Mostly quiet
But I want to

A fun fall themed piece that I wrote the other day. Sometimes it's the little things in life that really help us.

Gone Away

Like red, yellow, and orange leaves falling from a great oak
You're not there
I still own the good times
The warm feelings and happy memories
What was and what could have been
What didn't happen
Not now, not ever
I'll be wearing an extra layer
Outside, in this cold, cold world
