paper moon.


"the way you kiss, so delicate
doesn't come around and i'm always gonna miss it"
-just friends, jason reeves

If we survive, get out alive
I'd like to say how beautiful I think you are.

I can't believe that one of my close friends just joined the navy and is at navy boot camp right now. Of course, I know friends of friends who have joined, but never have I gone through such strong feelings of not wanting to let her go. I miss her everyday and it's only been 2 days. As I said goodbye to her on her doorstep in the early hours of the morning, I absolutely didn't want to let her go. I wanted to hug her forever. That feeling of comfort is no longer there. Bittersweet is what I could call it.

Be safe over there. You're always in my mind :)

Jamie!!! This was a beautiful post!

First, did you take that picture? I LOVE IT!!!!

Second, i know that not every situation is exactly the same, but I can sympathize with you. I still remember the day my boyfriend left for army boot camp two years ago. We shared the same experience of you and your friend, standing on her doorstep, hoping that time would stand still just for once, yet knowing that it wouldn't. Saying goodbye is definitely one of the hardest things to do! Stay strong!! Can you send her letters?

I wish I took that picture, but no I didn't. I know that when I look up in the sky, she'll be looking at the same moon also. Thanks Nicole :D
