Good idea: Drinking
Good idea: Playing Ultimate Frisbee (Best sport EVER)
Good idea: Drinking a few and playing ultimate
Bad idea: Drinking 96 ounces of beer and playing Ultimate while being sick. After one perticular point, I was on the sideline just kinda laying there flopping around like a fish. Couldn't breath or move. It was quit the sight. :(

All this pain is making me feel like writing some cheesy stuff. Here you go!

Trust me

Somewhere along the line, our paths became tangled.
In the paths that we have taken in our lives,
They have led us away from each other.
In this world of strangers, we are unique.
For we chose to become strangers. Not willing, not conscientiously,
but we just keep missing each other.
The past cannot be changed, but our futures have yet to come to be.
I offer you a deal, as we begin to write our future together.
We will begin as strangers.
When we meet, I will not ask that you love me,
I will not even ask that you give me the benefit of the doubt.
One thing I will ask, I will ask that you trust me.
No matter what is said, no matter what is done,
I ask that you trust me.
I will never lie to you or do you harm.
I will always protect you. I will always be there with you.
I will think of you first no matter what the appearance may show.
Let this trust be the beginning of a new path.
A new path that leads us back together.
The road may be long, the path may make some turns.
In the darkest hours when you’re lost and adrift,
Remember my promise to you.
I will never lie to you. I will never do you harm.
Trust me. That’s all I ask of you.


BTW, people, I know you're reading this. Say hi. Post a comment, even if it's about how bad it is. It's only nice to do so.

Okay you two, get a room! LOL

Pup, I love your poem. However, I made some edits to make it stronger. I have been taught that in order to make poetry powerful, you need to use the LEAST amount of words possible to get your point across. Also never use a passive voice (any form of to be). Here are my edits. Hope you like them.

I'm posting, as per requested. But the poem? If it were tangible, it would be pink and sticky and never come out of the carpet.
