I wish you sawI did great today.
I saw pride in the faces of people I loved.

a matter you have now begun to press.
In realms of time and pain, I ache no less;
you undervalue still, its lasting mark.
So see...

Roll MeThe wind in my hair
Strands slapping my face
Puffy clouds in the air
Still keep me in place

He sometimes meets buddies,
He likes to work on his studies,
Charlie is awkwardly social.

He often meets friends,
Hoping the night never...
