round two

when nelson in creative 1 said write about love 
i was distraught 
that point of my life i had only had a crush on a boy for a month 
and was sure i didnt love him. 
i became disappointed with myself for not having some dramatic love story that had never been told. 
sat with my mind open 
trying to find words to exaggerate my previous so called lovers
taking any desperation to sound interesting. 
read through blog after blog 
heartbreak
betrayal 
butterflies
xoxoxs 



then it clicked 
the light bulb in my junior year mind, was finally lit. 

i was surrounded by love
and was yet diving into my thoughts to try and find it. 

what was meant to be found was
the way my father looks at me when he says bye for work 
love the mountains show by merely being beautiful
passion in my friends eye when they talk about what they enjoy 
the love sister shows in her tears at thought of me moving out 
missing feeling ill get after graduation 
excitement when college mails a letter with my name on it
love you can hear in laughs
naps bring love
feeling ice cream gives the stomach 
warmness of a blog post comment

its all around. 
doesnt always come in kisses
or with scent of roses. 
sad i missed the meaning during round one
but can only go up during round two.

  2. Round 2 sounds awesome. We'll said. I really appreciate your perspective. I'm getting ready to have students write about love this week, so this is on my mind.
