::forever

I can feel it in my pocket. A glistening gold band with a beautiful diamond enclosed in a velvet box.

Forever can never be long enough for me to feel like I've had long enough with you
She’s standing next to me, her brilliant red hair laying in ringlets around her shoulders, her head on my shoulder, the sun setting in front of us.

Forget the world now, we won't let them see but there's one thing left to do 
My knee sinks to the ground, the grass cushioning its landing.

“Jules,” I whisper, my voice barely audible, “Theres something I’ve been meaning to ask you,” she nods, clearly aware of the question I’m about to ask her. 
Marry me today and every day?

next year

it’s kinda weird

to think

that you’ll be gone this time next

year,

off to college.

there will be a vacant space

at

our dinner table

but

I think I’ll miss you,

even though

sometimes,

you make me angry

you’re a great big brother

and i will miss your brown hair

and

brown eyes

and the way you

swaggily

walk.
