yet ANOTHER poem...
i am just full of these
i would crawl a thousand miles for te
i would walk two thousand
i would run three thousand
i would embrace four thousand
i would do anything for te
i would jump off a cliff
i would run down a mountain
i would cerca a thousand cities
i would use an upside down map
i would cry until i had no più tears
i would fight two hundred men
i would risk my own life
so, do te see?
do te now finally see?
i would do anything and everything
if it meant i could be with te
i am just full of these

i would run down a mountain

i would use an upside down map
i would cry until i had no più tears
i would fight two hundred men
i would risk my own life
so, do te see?
do te now finally see?
i would do anything and everything
if it meant i could be with te
“Oh my god, Steve. Your eye.” te say as te remove the ice pack.
“It’s just bump.” He grins.
“A bump? Honey, it’s a huge black eye. It’s più like an egg.” te say.
“Old Man can still pack a punch, huh?”
“Steve, te need to get out of there.” te say matter-of-factly.
“I got nowhere to go.”
“You can stay with the Curtises. o me. I just don’t like seeing te hurt.” te whisper.
“I’d rather it be me than you.” He says.
“What?” He asks, glancing over at you.
“You’re gonna get pulled over,” te say, rolling your eyes.
“Do te think I’d care?” He laughed.
“Dallas Winston, I am shocked and appalled te just detto that to me and ran that red light.” te laugh. “I’m horrified at your driving skills. Remind me not to get into a car with te again.”

Light cracked the sky open. The crash that followed jolted te awake. te sit up in your bed, wide eyed with fear.
te had been afraid of thunderstorms since te were little… something about it just frightened te to no end.
The sound of your boyfriend breathing calmed te down. The rhythmic deep breathing soothed you, only for a second.
Another crack lit up the sky, with a giant boom that followed.
“Dally.” te shake your boyfriend awake.
“Babe… what’s the ma-” He stops as he sees your eyes, wide with fear. He sits up straight and wraps his arms around te pulling te close. “You’re fine… You’re fine.” He whispers, rocking te back and forth. “I got you. I promise. I got you.” Hands running through your hair.
“I just don’t like them.” te mumble into his bare chest.
“I know. I know.” He say. “But I still got you. I promise.”
But te were already asleep again.

But te were already asleep again.
te were actually close to Soda. Danny played with Grace and Logan all the time. te couldn’t even begin to imagine how they felt.
te hear the front door open. Darry was home now. te take another deep breath, and sit at the cucina table.
Just breathe.
He walks into the kitchen. “Hey babe, what’s wrong?” He asks, setting down his wallet and keys.
te swallow. “I got a call.” Is all te manage to say.
“About?” He asks, eyebrows raised.
“Soda’s dead.” te blurt out.
The look on Darry’s face would haunt your memory for the rest of your life.
He just sat down on the floor in pure shock, mouth open, eyes wide.
