Sally

"I love the feeling just before you go"

96
Sally
Brian Bean

Here’s the story

Of a girl named Sally

I haven’t told a soul

So here goes; I’ll tell the world

Sally was a beaut

Probably still is

Kind and funny

Adorably geeky and naturally pretty

The kind you bring home to Mommy and Daddy

Then out to the city for dinner and drinks

And a late night stroll down the small town streets

You see, Sally was unique

And a flirt she was, too!

The cause of which I attributed to

Her and her lover

Were together not a whole

So she sought validation

And an end to frustration

By finding another to love and to hold

One night we were out, Sally and I

Out for some drinks after a night full of pie

There was a group of us folks

Being merrily drunk

This night in particular my lover and I

Were also in a funk

And were for some time

You see Sally saw through me

And my silly façade

And I knew her real smile

From that fake one she had

Sally knew my girl

And I knew her boy too

But neither of us cared

In the heat of the moment

Or even the few hours before


We made our way back to my place

For late night drinks, and a smoke or a toke

We knew not where the night would take us

Except outside time and space

We sat on the couch and talked for awhile

‘Till eventually I saw that smile

Shortly thereafter we were in bed

Fully clothed for the moment

But that moment would end

Sooner or later, we wound up together

But that night that we shared

Would haunt me forever

April Ludgate

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
