rain fell on the window sill
tears fell down my cheeks
he told me he'd be coming home
it would only take two weeks
He left for New York
And never returned
whiled I watched the news
my stomach churned
All because of what
I just learned
the Twin Towers
came on falling down
when my father
was in that town
rain fell on the widow sill
tears fell down my cheeks
Now I know the next time I see him will be much more than two weeks

"I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater." -SN

"I'd been wondering all this time, whether there's any meaning to a failed love. Is it something that will disappear the same as something that never existed. Now I know, there is meaning..there was a meaning...right here." – Takemoto [Honey and Clover]
