I'd rather make mistakes than break.

the alcohol never tasted so sweet
on the tip of your tongue
while the world was so bitter
because we were young
the long lived glances
and short lived loves
"forevers" that we threw around
because "for now" wasn't enough
how ugly you can feel
because of one person in the room
and how blood wasn't red
until you saw it coming from the wound
and life wasn't as simple
as we thought in second grade
and people weren't as nice
as they were when you were eight
and "beautiful" wasn't a word
you really liked to use
because hearts were just as weak
even when they were immune
and goodbye and hello
were somehow the same thing
and every lasting moment
was still momentarily
and everything you said
was as simple as it sounded
because complications were more rational
then how i really found it
so i hope when you're dying
you won't enjoy the view
because words never meant much
when they were coming from you

Don't worry, it's not supposed to make sense. Sorry for the lack of capitalization, I wrote it a long time ago and didn't want to take the time to edit it.

Mucho love,

Alyson

Very good, I don't understand how you think we don't understand. ;] It's so beautiful. In fact, I think I might have to use it to shove it in someone's face sometime. I love it. Very excellent writing, kind of like how I enjoyed George Orwell right after Charles Dickens.. T.T

Even if you can't spell laundry, you've definitely got something, Aly. The opening presents a beautiful contrast (sweet & bitter) and it progresses nicely. Easily followed by anyone, simple diction - and it does make sense, hon, even if you want to put it down by saying it doesn't.

Excellent! I love the part where it says "'forevers' that we threw around
because 'for now' wasn't enough"

I like it a lot :)

That was great. I especially liked ""forevers" that we threw around
because "for now" wasn't enough". It seemed full of depth yet I was able to follow it.
