Blueprints on Worksheets

 It’s been almost 20 years since I last had these as pets. They are a bit hard to take care of and are a bit pricey so I had to hold back anytime the desire to buy them hit me. They have pretty nice colors and patterns, and being cichlids, they got personality too. I have my aquarium setup beside my desk any every now and then I find myself being watched and followed by one of them. It was a few days ago when I realized one of my aquariums didn’t have a centerpiece so I finally decided to get a pair. I’ve spent too much in this hobby but I’m sure this last one would be worth it.

  Let this sea wash away these memories that keep on drowning me

 Our paths crossed a long time ago. I stayed thinking things might work out somehow. At times it felt great, but more often I was left wanting, waiting. I asked you out. The air went dead. I went on ahead. Now, I feel like it would be unfair to you, to me, to say what would have been if it were us. We’ve set our own paths to journeys we need to see through Maybe someday our paths would meet again.

 Not everything has to have meaning

Let the waves wash away the footprints that weren’t meant to be there

  The night falls for you
