Kissing my first four guys,
Holding hands with three
Money saved and borrowed rides
And things I wish Id never seen
New friends with new standards
Older and wiser than me
Classes filled with longer words
And a final end to P.E.
A best friend disintegrating
Maybe Im to blame
New shows and new things Im hating
And nothing is ever the same
Who wouldve thought one summer
Could lead to all of this?
And now I know these changes
Still cant bring happiness
Moments spent in holy arms
And a youth group I adore
Healing wounds and leaving scars
And still wanting more
New feelings, new enticements
And starving for all things new
New questions I cant answer
And a dumbfounded view
A fighter turned doormat
Still laughing at the pain
Turning from joyful, to real, to fake
And hoping no traces remain.
Will next year be so life changing?
Will my future mock the past?
Will my priorities need rearranging?
And will the change in plans last?
Will I have time for the bonds Ive lost?
Can my heart hold more sad memories?
And if it breaks, will it be worth the cost,
Of remembering everything Ive seen?
Death and laughing till it hurts
Smiling though all your shattered dreams
Have lost their way in their trail of fakes
While youre ripping at the seams
Growing pants, songs on pink hearts,
The wind, a letter, a frame
A cloudless sky, my mothers face
And longing for a lasting fame
This year has faded behind me
And I step into blinding rays
As a loud voice soon tells me,
Get up and get on your way.

Well Kay...
I am quite aware that I have played some sort of role in all of this, maybe great, and maybe small. I know at times I wish I had kept my mouth shut, and others I wish I had spoken up. I know the night after choir in my car was not something either one of us had hoped for, but I like to think of it as something that may fappen later...God willing. Freshman year can always be tough... but sophomore year can only get better ( and it seems it already has after your weekend in Rome) And from a Senior (this year) to a now Sophomore... I hope you have a wonderful year.
Love,
Eric Goff
