.17th December 2002.

I need to get out of me some emotions

and alot of words, I don't really care if it has rhythm or verse

so I try to think of what to write

of what to say, of how to make it smooth

and what I see in my mind's eye is love

a pair of eyes that I'll never forget

but that I'll never be able to see again...

ten years is a long time to spend with someone,

to fall in love, so young and so passionately, and so full on,

it was just us, together, and we didn't care about the opinions of anyone, we did what we wanted

we lived, and loved and explored the world and learned

we grew up fast, we had to, we lived in a fast city, in a fast society

we lived the student life, cheap boarding houses

St, Vinnies food vouchers, sometimes going hungry

learning how to cope with boredom,  living in relative poverty

in a capitalist money based society

but that didn't bother us, not too much -

we had eachother, and at the time that was enough

and for a long time, i'm sure we were happy...

still, we were just teenagers

and i guess, at some stage it was inevitable that at some stage

we would discover drugs,

the begginning of the end for us...
