Remember

So recently I've become a Josh Groban-aholic. (So what if it's not a word? It is now!!) Because of this little fact, I'm taking the liberty of posting a fabulous song on this site, just because I happen to know NO ONE is bloody reading this thing. Oh well. It's all good.

Remember, by Josh Groban

Remember, I will still be here
As long as you hold me, in your memory

Remember, when your dreams have ended
Time can be transcended
Just remember me

I am the one star that keeps burning, so brightly,
It is the last light, to fade into the rising sun

I'm with you
Whenever you tell, my story

Remember, I will still be here
As long as you hold me, in your memory
Remember me

I am the one voice in the cold wind, that whispers
And if you listen, you'll hear me call across the sky

As long as I still can reach out, and touch you
Then I will never die

Remember, I'll never leave you
If you will only
Remember me

Remember me...

Remember, I will still be here
As long as you hold me
In your memory

Remember, when your dreams have ended
Time can be transcended
I live forever
Remember me

Remember me
Remember... me...

Gosh darn, it's been too long

So a lot has happened in the past nine months. No, I'm not pregnant, you fools, so get that out of your heads ;-)
I'm in 3 AP classes, and looking into advanced maths and sciences. Why, you may ask? Because the Academies look for that. Yes, the United States military academies. Them. More out of reach than the Ivy Leagues, yet so friggin close I can taste them.
My parents finally got divorced.
My father is getting remarried.
My mother bought a motorcyle and is learning how to drive it.
A dear friend of mine, Brittany May, died in a tornado.
And everytime I think of her, that sweet, sweet girl, only 17, the only thing that keeps running through my head is some lyrics by Kenny Chesney. Alex won't listen to the song anymore, because it makes her sad. But I think that right now being sad is about the only thing that's going to get me over this.
I don't know if anyone reads this thing, after my nearly year-long hiatus and my previous sporradic posting, but frankly, I don't care.
I need this out of my system.

Who You'd Be Today
by Kenny Chesney

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
I feel you everywhere I go
I see your smile, I see your face
I hear you laughin' in the rain
Still can't believe you're gone.

It ain't fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
But death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I been through
Just knowin' no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder
Who you'd be today.

Would you see the world, would you chase your dreams
Settle down with a family
I wonder what would you name your babies
Somedays the sky's so blue
I feel like I can talk to you
And I know it might sound crazy.

It ain't fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
But death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I been through
Just knowin' no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder
Who you'd be today.

Today, today, today
Today, today, today.

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
The only thing that gives me hope
Is I know I'll see you again some day
Someday, someday...


Brittany, clear black nights and bonfires. I love you, girl.
