On a Spring day...

As I'm looking up into the clear blue sky I feel the cool water rushing over my bare feet. I can smell the sweet essence of Spring Honeysuckles. I hear the stream trickling over the rocks. I'm not alone. I hear a slightly concealed voice to the left of me. I hear words, not being exchanged but being read. My arm stings a little. " Haley...? It's your turn." I look down at the paper in my hands. The page is crumbled and it's edges have been burned. I read... "What ever we do, What ever we say, What ever life's long journey may bring. Here's four of our sisters, There's eight of our hands. Bring us together and tie us a band. Keep us together and never let go, no matter how hard our willow may blow.

And so, it begins...

Amazing. So vivid, as if it were just yesterday. To be absolutely honest with you, I have really been missing those days when you, me, Chey, and Iman hung out. Me and Chey were just discussing old memories of the Ohio River and downtown Newburgh. Makes you wonder what things would be like now if we had all just stuck together and let nothing get in our way or tear us apart. I wonder and I wish... But can anything be done about it?

I think you should totally go for it!! Write to your heart's content. This would make an excellent prologue, it's beautifully written. And I think you already know, if you ever need help I'm your gal (grr... I actually hate the word 'gal' but w/e). Btw, we still need to finish Sed and Led. I recently found it and typed it all out clearly. If you want I can print you out a copy, just don't know when I would be able to get it to you.

You'll just have to wait then. Unless we happen to meet before then which is highly unlikely... :/ This is kind of dumb. Why aren't we just texting? Haha.

Oh, how sad. Sierra's texts haven't been renewed for awhile...
