(183)▪︎[ @ Least By Nine … 2•22•2023 ]

[ Well Isn’t That Just Great ]
[ I Just Did Something That I Hate ]

[ I Just Hurt ]
[ Someone That Is So Important To Me ]
[ With My Written Words ]

[ My Words Usually Sing Out & Ring The Bell ]
[ But It Has Been Made Abundantly Clear ]
[ That My Message Went To Hell ]

[ Hurt Towards You, Should Never Have Been There ]
[ What I Was Attempting To Say & Share ]
[ Is How Much I Miss You & Care ]

[ You Used To Be Here @ Least Two Days A Week, Sometimes More ]
[ I Would Get SO Excited When I Heard Your Soft Knock On My Door ]

[ Then I Knew You Were All Mine ]
[ Into The Night ]
[ Until @ Least Nine ]

[ But … Now You Are Not Here ]
[ & That Causes A Tear ]

[ & Then Another One ]
[ & Another One ]
[ I Find That Doing This Is Not Very Fun! ]

[ I Would Much Rather Give You A Big Long Hug ]
[ Then To Pull Your Heart Out ]
[ To Give It A Tug ]

[ Hurting You Is/Has/Was/Never On My Mind ]
[ When It Comes To You, Cavarona ]
[ I Am Not That Kind ]

[ Of Person Or Friend ]
[ I’ll Feel That Way To The Very End! ]

[ & I Will So Fight ]
[ For That Conclusion ]
[ To Not Be Anywhere In My Sight! ]
[ Especially After This Discussion ]
[ It Will Not Be Tonight! ]

[ You Are The Cavarona, Clear To The Bone ]
[ That Is Shown ]
[ As Well As It’s Known ]

[ Whenever You Take A Trip To The Beach Like You Will & Do ]
[ You Can Look @ That Bag With The Lousy Emblem ]
[ & Know That I Was Thinking Of You When I Bought That For
You ]

[ You Are So Missed ]

(111)▪︎[ A Meaningful Story … 2•8•2022 ]

[ I Have This Friend, Who I Dearly Love ]
[ Who Really Has Alot Of Faith In The Man Who Lives Really High
     Above ]

[ I Have Tried My Hardest To Be The Best Male Friend That She Has
     Ever Had ]
[ & I Have Tried My Hardest To Never Make Her Mad ]

[ I Am Very Sure ]
[ That I Have Never Wanted To Be On The Wrong Side Of Anger
     With Her ]

[ Oh, I Have Heard Story After Story ]
[ Of Her Past Glory ]

[ She Became (2) Parents To Her Kids When Her Husband Of
     Over (30) Years Passed ]
[ But Parental Love Did Not Lapse ]

[ She Took On The Mother/Father/Grandmother/Grandfather
     Roles Quite Well ]
[ Love & Honesty Did Not Go To Hell ]

[ I Could Never Pinpoint The Day Or Event That, When Or How We
     Became Best Friends ]
[ We Just Did ]
[ So That Is Where & When The Mystery Ends ]

[ She Is So Hard-Headed, She Told Me The Nickname That She
     Wanted Me To Call Her By ]
[ I Do Not Speak Spanish & I Did Not Know The Definition ]
[ But I Gave It A Try ]

[ She Did Not Curse @ Me ]
[ She Did Not Slap Me ]
[ She Did Not Shoot @ Me (WHERE DID SHE GET A GUN IN THIS
     STORY?) ]
[ She Did Not Send Her Son Or Her Large Brother After Me ]

[ So It Did Not Offend ]
[ So I Guessed That I Did Not Have My Life To Defend ]

[ When I Say It, Nobody Gets Chafed ]
[ So I Think That I Am Safe ]

[ I Have Learned Through Our Short Friendship That When
     Cavarona Says To Do Something, That Something Gets Done ]
[ Or Nobody Gets A Warm Tortilla ]
[ Or Has Any Fun ]

[ She Says It Means, (HARD HEADED, STUBBORN) ]
[ Well That Hits The Nail On The Head ]
[ It Probably Started, Right After She Was Born ]

[ My Friend Is Solid & Built Like A Tank ]
[ A Couple Of Mystery Men Tried To Treat Her Like A Community
     Bank ]

[ That Was A Hard Sell ]
[ They Could Not Crack That Titanium Shell ]

[ But My Best Friend Will Be Leaving Us Soon ]
[ Maybe I Could Reminisce About Her When I See The Moon ]

[ But That Is Not What Keys My My Memory To That Smile
     On Her Face ]
[ I Know What & Where ]
[ It Will Be My Place ]

[ We Had So Many Long Talks Instead Turning Of The T.V. On ]
[ What Am I Going To Do The Minute AFTER I Am Told That
     She Has Gone ]

[ For Her Memorial She Told Me To Wear My Vans, Shorts &
     A Hawaiian Shirt ]
[ I Just Hopes That Nobody Thinks That I Am Being Disrespectful ]
[ & Knocks My Ass In The Dirt ]
[ I Don’t Want To Get Hurt ]

[ I Hope That Maria Tells Someone That This ]
[ Was Her Wish ]

[ We Talked About That There Was Not A Single Time Where She
     Saw Me Wearing Long Pants ]
[ Not Even A Glance ]

[ No Pictures, No Nothing ]
[ I Can Not Remember The Last Time That I Wore Pants For
     Something

[ My Mind Is Flooded With So Many Thoughts & Words ]
[ Flying Around Like A Big Bunch Of Birds ]

[ So Much To Say ]
[ So Little Time ]
[ What Is The Way ]
[ That I Could End This Story That I Wrote To My Very Best Friend,
     But Make It Rhyme? ]

(464)▪︎[ Gracias,  Maria … 5•8•2020 ]

[ When Your Name Comes Into My Mind ]
[ I Always Smile ]
[ Because Each & Every Day You Have Been So Kind ]

[ Please Remind Me How I Got So Lucky To Have You
     As My Best Friend? ]
[ When I Wished That I Could Find Someone To Be Special For
     Me ]
[ I Never Knew That It Would Be Someone Like You That God Would
     Send ]

[ I’ve Always Thought I Was Born Under A Dark Cloud ]
[ I Never Thought That I Would Find A Friend ]
[ Out Of The Crowd ]

[ You Are The Only Thing That Your Agency Got Right ]
[ You Give & Show Me Love ]
[ Every Single Night ]

[ That You’ve Been Here ]
[ Do I Make That Perfectly Clear? ]

[ You Are A Stubborn & No Nonsense Woman Through & Through ]
[ When You Tell Me To Do Do Something ]
[ That’s What I Do ]
[ Because,  Well … ]
[ It’s Because You Are You ]

[ You Got It Backwards Today ]
[ I’m Not Stuck With You! ]
[ It’s The Opposite Way ]

[ We Will Remain In Each Others Lives For As Long As We Try ]
[ & I’m Not Even Close ]
[ To Wanting To Say Goodbye! ]
[ Because The Only Word I Chose ]
[ Was ( HI ) ]

[ Effort Is The Key ]
[ I’m Not Ready For You To Walk Away From Me ]

[ So I Will Text & Text ]
[ To Ask You ]
[ ( SO,  WHAT IS NEXT? ) ]

[ Is It A Reach ]
[ To Still Take A Drive To The Beach? ]

[ I Want To Sit Where Your Dad Sat ]
[ I Want You To Also Remember Me ]
[ When That’s Where You’re @ ]

[ Years & Years Down The Road ]
[ If I May Be So Bold ]

[ That We Will Still Be Close ]
[ But,  Nobody Really Knows ]

[ The Main Reason Why I Worry ]
[ Is Because Many Times I’ve Been Told This Story ]

[ But You Are Definitely Different From All Of The Others Previously ]
[ You Take Our Friendship Seriously ]

[ & You Have Never Made Me Feel Used ]
[ & Abused ]

[ You Have NEVER Asked For A Single Thing ]
[ Alot Of Times ]
[ It Was Lunch That You Would Bring ]

[ Thank You For Earning My Trust ]
[ To Be In My House ]
[ That Is A Must ]

[ I Never Had To Have My Guard Up ]
[ Never Had To Keep Things Shut ]

[ You Showed Me & My House Respect ]
[ But That Was Also What You Came To Expect ]

[ You Never Brought A Purse Or A Big Bag To Leave On The Floor ]
[ I Never Had Any Questions ]
[ When You Walked Out The Door ]

[ Thank You For Always Being There ]
[ Thank You Maria ]
[ For Showing Me You Care ]

[ I Hope I Show It Back! ]
