Fresh Air

Another starry night, and I couldn’t but wonder, The pieces of my heart, they were left asunder. Shattered to a million tiny pieces; broken.. Until she came along, my pretty one.

Surprises

Do you remember the last time you put your hand in your pocket and found a long-forgotten piece of chocolate? Imagine my surprise when I found a full bar of CRUNCH in my jacket pocket on my way to class! I tell you, it’s the most wonderful feeling on a cold, dry winter evening. Tra-la-la-la la-la-la la!
