Build A Home

I had to go and pick up a cable I left at the old place tonight... It's so empty now... So ready for someone new to come and love it as much as we did. And I couldn't help but remember everything that had happened there. It was like every moment, feeling, good time and bad time flashed before my eyes right as I went to close the door to leave. Every creek in the floor, every crack of light in that place, every corner and every inch I know almost as well as I knew the person I shared all those moments with. Every dinner, every fight, every laugh, every bit of love... And every Sunday afternoon we built it together. It's funny how memories can do that to you. On the way home I bought some watermelon and coconut water... It's getting to be that time of the year again. And I couldn't help but remember how excited we were the last time I saw that place so empty... At the possibilities that stood before us and what the idea of making that our home meant. I'm sentimental, I know. But coming home tonight, to my new home... I couldn't help but to choose to remember only the good things that happened at 130 south 1st street. It was a beautiful home, and it was ours. I'll always remember it, love it, just as I did and do you. Thank you for all of it, the good and the bad... And for sharing such a special time and place with me. We built a home, for you... for me... and now it's time to leave and turn to dust.

To Love

To love... 


And the people we find along our journey that show us, make us, challenge us, hold us, feel us and nurture us... 

To the feeling of having love, experiencing it, exploring it and nourishing it.... 

To loving.... 

To having been loved... 

To giving and receiving it... 

To the bountiful ways in which we are able to share in it.... 

To two kids who fell in love and jumped off the cliff with their eyes shut tight... 

Because they believed in it.... 

Maybe we should have known better... 

But then we'd never have all the beautiful memories to look back on... 

And who could ever be mad at that? 


To young, free, beautiful love... 

And to the human who I have always loved the very most.
