A Poem To The One Who Flew Away

I Am From You

76
A Poem To The One Who Flew Away
Favim

I am from you.

I am from that warm mid-March day.

The first time I saw you;

the promise I made,

where it all began.

I am from a phone call in early October:

The first time you talked to me.

Excitement flooded my veins.

I am from all our discussions about current events,

the way we had the same views on politics.

I am from all the deep talks we had about life.

I am from all we had in common.

I am from your small hands that made me melt each time ours touched,

your chestnut eyes that pierced my soul when we make eye contact,

and your smooth brown hair that falls just above your ears,

I am from the dent in your chest to the left of your heart,

another unique quality that made me love you more.

I am from the chills I get down my spine when you said my name,

The butterflies that fluttered in my stomach when I saw your familiar face.

Or the way my face lit up and my brown eyes widened when someone mentioned your name.

I am from the way you looked at me,

girls pray a man could look at them the way you looked at me.

I am from your soft voice that spoke beautiful words to me.

I am from your deep voice that spoke harsh words we both wish you could take back.

I am from all the times I pissed you off,

but never pushing you away.

I am from the way you never think before you act.

Or speak.

This can be positive,

or negative.

I am from all the drunken phone calls from you,

your sober mind and intoxicated mind were two totally different people.

I am from wishing you'd admit the truth.

And tell me what you want from me.

Don't you know I'd walk across the sea?

Just to be with you?

Just to see it through?

But now you've flown away.

Far far away.

I am from remembering our goodbye,

replaying it over and over every day.

The last time sparks flew,

The last time I'll ever feel alive.

I hope you come back one day and wished you had stayed.

The girl your mom thinks is the bride to be still doesn't know about you and me.

I am from missing you more and more each day that you are away.

I hope you know how proud I am of you.

I am from lined paper, black ink, and trilogies of you and me.

I am from infinite conversations,

staying up past twilight.

I am from a dark sky full of stars,

I am from a beautiful full moon.

I am hoping you remember me;

Please.

Don't.

Forget.

Me.

I'll write you letters don't worry,

But please hurry and fly home,

back to me.

Because,

I am from you.

And now you flew away to the red, white, and blue.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
