miles and miles

her

sue.

her dad had always told her

to do whatever it was that made her

happy.

and after countless movie marathons

with him, she was off to study film.

she wasn't sure what she wanted

and she had never before

written a script.

but when she loved, she felt it

and that's how it was with film.

she ate peanut butter out of the jar

and fed all the stray cats

behind her house.

she read more books than should

be allowed and

she loved the smell of daisies.

she liked to take photos,

because being able to

capture a moment forever

was the most beautiful concept

in the world to her.

she hated the summer time

and ached for the snow.

and she most often

lied in a boy's truck bed

thinking about life.

she had a soft soul

and a full heart

because she had loved him

more than even the heavens could

comprehend.

and at the airport,

as she handed him a photograph

of her and her mother from when

when she was young,

she cried into his chest,

unsure how she could go pursue

her dreams

without the boy who had always filled them.
