There's beauty in the breakdown... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hideaway You were a surprise in my life, exactly five years ago about this time. We had just become friends, hanging out together in the accelerated English class because we were part of the popular group in school. You were the athlete. Girls have always how hot they think you are, and you always just brush them off politely with a kind smile. Your family has a legacy in this town. People know you, or at least they think that they do. And I was the star student and the former cheerleader. I was the girl that was too cool to join certain groups, which became cool by association. It was odd to me because people saw me in such a way that I never could. I, too, am part of a legendary family in the town. Ours is of money, yours is of valour. People always fought to be a part of our lives, and we both were weary because of it. I could tell you those things because you understood. You knew what it was like to always question what someone wants from you. And then you disappeared from my life for awhile. Then, during the darkest time in my life, you reappeared with a vengence. You came to my rescue, you protected my heart. We became close friends and I started to fall for you more than I knew that I should. We both met other people. I met Justin. You met a few girls. We remained good friends, becoming even closer. I tucked my feelings away for you because I was in love. Everything else I had ever felt compared in comparison to that. I decided to move down here to where you were because I wanted to be closer to him. The year ended, you needed a place to live. I offered a room in my house. We lived together for awhile, and then you went away to another school. It was hard to see you leave in a way, but it was easier on Jus. It was easier on our love. Things ended between Justin and me, but you and I had already grown apart. You met other people, as did I. You made a few brief appearances here and there...helping clear the fields last spring, fishing on the docks at the summer harvest, burning leaves during the autumn clean-up in town. And now, you are making a strong appearance in my life. From the telephone calls to the sightings, it makes my day. At a very hard time in my life, you meant the world to me. I will always remember the part of my heart that you carved out for us a million and a half hours ago. It's your place--our place--to hide away from everything else. And something tells me that we are going to hiding there together for some time to come. Right now, I can't think of another soul I would rather hide with than you. The face I see in front of me might never be on magazines, I know I'm still gonna shine. I don't care what you think of me. I'm more sure than I've ever been. And my time is coming soon. I am a flower about to bloom. ("Commercial" - The N) 7:39 PM - 06.12.04 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
