this time last year,

I had a headache, a full day, a Halloween party at my place, choir practice, a new responsability, an old battle renewed, a newly discovered passion for leaves and a wonderful new friend.

depressed - I was

struggling - I was

happiness - I was trying to feel

this year,

I have a toothache, half-full or half-empty days, no Halloween parties, no choir practice, bill[s] to pay, new battles, a smile whenever I see a that kind of leaf, and I am missing the girl I met this time last year.

worried - I am

wondering - I am

happiness - I can sometimes feel.

I picked up a leaf today for you, B.; I had no idea what day it was, but I was sure you would like it. I know I did. When I got home I realized that, and it made me smile because, even if you and I are separated by so many miles now, we can still feel.together.

*here's to being one-of-a-kind together. here's to wearing one's inside on the outside.
