love ~!~

what is love?
not what i thought it

what i used to long for
every night
all night long
no longer

it can come and go
here for long stretches of time
speckled here and there about the week
but i no longer need it
long for it
as a nightly ritual

i've achieved a level beyond that
past the physical
and i'm able to abstain

skipping class ~!~

i really have no excuse to be skipping class this semester
i'm not piss drunk every night like previous semesters
i'm getting to bed earlier than i had last year
lectures are not the same as the book
and they have mandatory attendance

i guess my grades won't be as high as i'd hoped this year

the further along i get in college
the less and less i do

i always assume ~!~

i always make assumptions
and everyone tells me i'm over reacting
thinking things through to much

well, most of the assumptions i've made these past few years have all turned out to be true

i'll go thinking i was wrong for weeks
months
feel upset that i messed everything up
then one day i find out
everything i had thought was happening actually had happened


i'm going to follow my intuition from now on
