Forever (A poem about love)

Forever is a very long time

In the beginning of Forever

When the stars high above

Did not yet shine

My love began

Forever is a very long time

When the dust of the explosions

Still settled in empty space

When skies were born

My love was young

Forever is a very long time

When humanity was new

Painted horses danced

In the firelight

My love was bright

Forever is a very long time

In the ancient cities

Where math first lived

As new ideas

My love multiplied

Forever is a very long time

When castles had hard stone walls

When kings ruled

All they could see

My love grew vast and strong

Forever is a very long time

When new ideas were abundant

In Victoria's time

A time of finches

My love evolved

Forever is a very long time

When buildings scraped the sky

When lines were

Made useless

My love flew through the air

Forever is a very long time

Four billion years from today

When the sun grows cold

When life is dead

My love for you will endure

What do you think? I really like this one. But, it combines love, poetry, history, and I get to talk about space.

Now, as this updates automatically, I am on an six hour plane trip.  Why, you may ask. Well, because.

But seriously, we'll be visiting my aunt who I haven't seen since my birthday, and I haven't seen Potato for two years.

(By the way, I made a tumblr! Its where I'll post interesting or strange things my friends have said, along with stuff i think is cool. The URL is worse-than-tonks.tumblr.com, because Dragonchild upon seeing me with blue streaks in my hair a while back stated, "It's blue now! you're worse than Tonks!")

December

The last month of the year. Wow.
I can't believe it's crept up on me like this.

It's getting colder, the grass is finally green from all the rain we've been having, and I'm learning something new about the universe:

Acceptance is not admission of defeat.

I didn't finish my book, and I'm okay with that. I'm ridiculously proud of myself, actually. How many people even challenge themselves to do this? More over, how many people give up?

I'm so proud that I wrote half a book in a month. It's pretty amazing when you think about it; I wrote 10244 words. and they were pretty good words too.

I'm pleased as punch.

I also learned another thing to accept. 

That boy I like? (Let's call him Jake)

He's not ready for anything more than friendship, and I need to accept that.

If I stand around waiting for him to grow up, I'll miss out on a thousand other boys, who are just as amazing.

That's not fair to me. 

So you know what? I am ready to keep Jake as my best friend, and maybe someday, he'll want me as more than that. 

But if I'm already taken, than Jake will have to deal.

Because I got the phone number of a boy in my karate class.

A Wish (A letter to a boy)

"How do you know when you're in love?"
"All the songs make sense."
--Castle and Beckett in Castle (which is an amazing tv show)

I used to think that maybe, if we were meant to be together, some deep force of fate would pull us together. But how can fate bring us together if we don't admit to one another how we feel?

I LOVE YOU.

I had a dream we were married. We had two kids, and we were so happy together.
But that can't be a reality if you never know.

I guess I'm not a secret admirer anymore (Except that you don't read this blog), but that's ok.
When I'm around you, I feel like there's a herd of dragons in my stomach, and that I might sprout wings and fly at any second.

Everything I know is flipped upside down, because it's so easy to be with you.

I love you. Even when I tried to tell myself that you aren't ready to love me back, I do. I can't help it. You're just so amazing.

Forever and always,

Lady Elisabeth
