To Tree and Poppy

Firsts
Life can change in the blink of an eye
Some things I saw coming,
Some took me by surprise
Full of very last first times
Tour guiding, music writing, line memorizing
Opening night
Hiking and sunshine
First date
Long drives, late nights
Lives colliding
The bird who became a sister
Secrets kept and spilled
Shared giggles
Dreams born
Morphed
Knowing smiles
Dinners cooked and eaten side by side
Movies past midnight
Special songs, goodnights and good mornings
Goodbyes
Distance
Before you go, let’s eat one more cyclone
Talk about the road we’ve walked
Probing the depths of each other’s hearts;
Boys, found and lost
Faith and God
The summer we never wanted to stop
Long hugs
The ache of seasons change
Of what I’m not supposed to miss
New beginnings
Classes and auditions
Lines, scenes, and songs
The process once more begins
Fresh challenges
Phone tag
One month in, some things haven’t changed
In the blink of an eye
Six months of my life
