Day 17: Forever Must Be True (April 4th)

So today I wrote a new poem for a good friend of mine who I haven't really talked to in a while. Some time during the course of our senior year we just... drifted apart, I guess. (Forgive the cliche.) Tomorrow is her birthday. And even though a lot has changed, I still consider her one of the best friends I have ever had–and certainly the closest and longest friendship I have ever had. So many days pass now and still I really miss those moments–I guess now called memories. And in all honestly, I do believe we will be friends again.. at some point, I hope. I hate goodbyes. And it never really felt like we said goodbye... I don't know if she will ever read this, but I just really wanted to share a piece my life that has meant a lot to me for a long time–my best friend of eleven years. Though things are different now, those moments I'll never forget. 

"Some Walls are Meant to Be Broken"

Somewhere between then 
And now, we've put up a wall.
And way back when were were only ten,
I never thought that we could fall
Like this. Yeah, back when were were
Only ten, I thought that our friendship
Would never end. But now, we're 
Here–and you are there, standing on the tip
Of never again: the moments shared, 
Secrets kept, games played, adventures–just
You and me. Please understand, I was only scared.
Cause even now, you're still the only one I trust, 
Though now it feels we've become estranged.
The wall is between us, and I can't help but feel
That everything now is forever changed,
And I can't live with that, or believe its real.
What am I saying...
Only what I feel.
Some dreams are meant to die.
Some days are meant to end.
Some lives are lived asking why,
While some only ask for a friend.
And after all this, I find only one thing left to say:
Some walls are meant to be broken, 
Like the one I built with you.
I remember we said forever, 
And so forever must be true. 

It's not my best work, but it sums up a lot of what I have been feeling recently in regards to this subject. 

Hands up like ermagawd (I like to twirl)

Skirt: American Apparel, Shirt: NYC, Tights: Rite Aid, Shoes: Aldo, Socks: American Apparel, Jacket: Forever 21

Today's outfit included two new pieces that I purchased at American Apparel (the pink skirt and white socks). I'm not sure why but today's outfit made me feel like.. a tainted ballerina or a fairy or something. I contrasted the light colors of the denim jacket, socks, and skirt with black tights and my favorite RENT t-shirt. Black boots on bottom. (An unfortunate side note: The black soles of my shoes have stained the bottoms of my white socks.) Overall, I really liked today's outfit because of the contrast in colors and styles. The outfit was a balanced mix of darkness and girly frills. 

Hope you had a wonderful hump day! Comment if you like what you see. Have a goodnight!
