			<title>The Call of the Moon</title>
			<description>I can feel it, pulling on me, calling me home. It is worse when I am by the ocean, the waves crashing and echoing the moons desperate cry. It's light shines down bathing me in its full beauty. Caressing me, it whispers guiding me to the sea, guiding me home. I float, relaxing in the embrace of the s..</description>

			<title>Pride and Joy</title>
			<description>The choice was mine, until it wasn't. I had so much to look forward to. My whole life ahead of me to figure it out. My options suddenly dwindled in the fear of permanent damage. The choice could suddenly and very realistically be snatched away. Forced to deal with the truth that so many others face...</description>

			<title>What fathers say </title>
			<description>I understand that that is what they are supposed to say. They are supposed to try to make their daughters feel better when all they have been wanting to do is curl up and disappear. That's what fathers are for. They are there to tell us that we deserve better than her, that she is selfish and that a..</description>

			<description>She was the moon. Beautiful, and constantly changing. Her bright green eyes with hints of sunshine dancing through them haunted my every waking moment. When I closed my eyes the smell of her lingered if only for just the briefest of moments. Hours after she hugged me I could still feel the places wh..</description>

			<title>New Years Eve</title>
			<description>I sat there on the bar stool at my friends house, watching the clock on the television slide so easily from one number to the next. Counting down the time remaining until the New Year began. Funny how New York had celebrated the end of their year and the beginning of another already. The New Years p..</description>

			<title>In Her Shadow</title>
			<description>When I first met her, I thought that we would be best friends, that I had found somebody who was just as weird as I was. I thought that we would both shine just as bright as the other, I never thought that one day one of us would out shine the other. I always tried to be independent but she was alwa..</description>

			<description>Why are you asking me? I question as you stare at me expecting a different answer. You are asking me if it is okay for you to kiss her, why do I have a say in what you two do? It's not my body, and as much as it's going to hurt me, I have no control over either of you, I'm not dating her and even if..</description>

But when the bus bumped and my head hit the window jostling me awake. I glanced down to find that it wasn't a dream, that it was indeed real.

You wrapped your arms around my waist to stop me from walking away, you held me there pulling me closer asking if I was okay even when you knew I wasn't.
