I hope you guys like it, I figured it can hopefully tie you over for a little while as I prepare to write everything else I owe you.","content":"People's lives are made up of Mist and Memories.  \n For, that is all anyone ever truly sees.  \n We spend our lives walking through the mist.  \n Never seeking to see what lies beyond our outstretched wrist.\n\nWe spend our time looking at the memories we've made.  \n Never searching for new paths which could be laid  \n Only giving into the delusions of the past which we crave  \n Always hoping that there is some shred of it we can save\n\nOur memories are like the mist  \n Ever changing, with our every wish  \n Yet the core of them flips out of our grip like a fish  \n We wade through them, seeing only, what's in our grasp  \n Never straying into our clasp\n\nLike Mist, our memories cloud the eye.  \n Causing many, of us to lie  \n Just like the difference in our memory  \n The mist is what lies between you and me\n\nHiding what's in our hearts  \n The mist lets us all play our parts  \n While our memory  \n Helps remind us of the pain lost in history\n\nMemory helps us feel light and joy  \n While the mist guides us in circles, just like a toy  \n The mist calms and soothes who we are  \n Even as memory helps us go far\n\nLife is made of Mist and Memory  \n So part the curtain and walk to me  \n If you do  \n I can promise you  \n Nothing but light and joy  \n and that I will never use you as nothing more than a toy.\n\nFor you see  \n I try not to live my life by the whims of the mist and my memory  \n I have opened my eyes as wide as they can go  \n And thanks to that, I have come to see  \n You are the one and only love for me.\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
