A Bit Nostalgic

A bit nostalgic,
while thoughts pile up in my head —
random distractions scatter through the quiet.
It’s late,
but writing calms the hurting
as I pour my heart onto paper,
words stitched together for peace.
Music becomes my medicine,
and it plays softly through the day.
A rush of happiness
shoots through me with memories.
What drives me now
is the need — the want —
to save, to repair the Integra,
to learn how to drive stick shift.
Work has been good;
I’ve made friends who lift me up,
and I’m grateful for their kindness.
I just ask for the chance to continue,
to earn a little more,
to reach the goals I dream about.
Through it all,
my boyfriend has been my strength.
Through my suffering,
he upholds the hope in me.
I care deeply for him —
and with God’s help,
I plan to stay by his side
for the rest of my life.
What I have felt with him,
what I have faced and overcome,
has made me sure of one thing:
he is special —
the one meant for me.
