Jumping From the Tops of Buildings

"janine look out your window" i saw her curtain slowly open and her face mold into a look of surprise and happiness. i was on the roof. it was gorgeous, one of those rare february days that made it seem like spring was right around the corner. i had no reason to be scared, i just popped out the shade, and stepped out into the sunshine. if i looked north i could see the new york skyline. i think that the day perfectly mirrored the way i was feeling. i can't stop smiling, even still. it looks like i slept with a hanger in my mouth. yes as lame as that is, it is so true. i think that things are so much better then i ever could have imagined. i love my boyfriend. i needed something like that momentary break to realize how much i couldn't really stand to see him go. i remembered every reason why i loved him in the first place. i remembered every reason i fell in love with him, why its lasted as long as it has. i remembered every time he has left me in awe, surprised me, made me laugh, and blush, made me tear up with tears of happiness. i know now how i fell in love, with a boy who has changed my life. he's coming over tomorrow. i couldn't be happier. im in love with my boyfriend, ill never let anything make me forget that again. 

We sit in your tree house.
The view from the top floor.
The moon shining through all the leaves and the trees.
I lean close and whisper;
'can we stay here forever? out here in your backyard? just us in the autumn breeze.'

For the first time,
I feel like i'm at a loss for words.
There's nothing left to do but move forward.
I'm finally ready for something good.-chasecoy
