On any given day, the line can be longer than the last.
That’s time without you.
I know what’s ahead..
Rollercoasters.
People wait in line and watch the reactions of those riding.

I’ve been wondering what to do
You’ve been wondering what to do?
I’m not completely sure what to choose.

What are you waiting for?
I read this book and it said nothing mattered
Like a rock to a windo...
I hate waiting …

He stood on the sidewalk nervous
By the end he hoped they would gyrate

Wanting to serve her breakfast in bed

A dazzling summer day brings her to life. I watch her as she dances around the room, filled with care-free joy
Another day is upon us
I think about where she'll take me today

She took me to the Northern Lights last week

Surrounded by the created saf...
