AprPAD Day 22 Prompt: quirk

THE COST

It was just a twitch, a quirk,  

A stutter once in a while

He wasn't really worried.

He figured it was the cost,

Of falling madly in love

With someone so wonderful

AprPAD Day 21 prompt: love/anti-love

BY HEART

There's no love like family
It's unique, crazy, sometimes
Difficult,but always true.
Not just your blood family
But those you've adopted too
Family chosen by heart.

AprPAD Day 16 Prompt: The Last ______

THE LAST TIME

The last time I saw you

Seems forever ago

The way that I miss you

You can't possibly know.

Only limited minutes

I can see your sweet faces

To hear your laughter

When we're different places.

I pray for an end

For the longing I feel

For when I can hold you

In my arms for real.

The last time I saw you

Didn't know I'd be wrong

Thinking all of this craziness

Would not last this long.
