I can&#039;t. We&#039;re not supposed to.<br /> M: What? Not supposed to what? Love? I don&#039;t know, is there such a thing? I hear your heart...I feel you breathing-everywhere. The rain, the hay...Please. Please Wendla.&quot;<br /> -Stephen Sater, SPRING AWAKENING

GONE
Middle of the night when she gets the call,
She’s all alone with no one to hold her hand.
Speeds to the hospital, runs down the hall.
Doctors try to tell her, doesn’t understand.
Sits by his side, still not sure what happened.
They both know his end is drawing nearer,
And then he’s gone and she feels abandoned.
She wonders why him, answers aren’t clearer.
Now she visits his grave, tells him how it’s going.
Her voice chokes up, as her tears hit the dirt
Hugs herself tight, a cold wind is blowing
What they don’t tell you is how much it hurts.
She takes a deep breath, admits that he’s gone
And thinks to her self, “Will I ever move on?”

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;

&quot;Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.&quot; -Lord Alfred Tennyson
