Unimportant it seems
But it's where all of my thoughts
Are held together at the seams
There are memories of smiles
And pages with tear stains
There are doodles in margins
Quotes, lyrics, and refrains
Never titled dear diary
No greeting whatsoever
Just ramblings and stories
That will stay there forever
You'd find inklings of sadness
A few traces of wit
It's where mismatched puzzle pieces
Come together and fit
To some people it's gibberish
Making little to no sense
But I understand all of it
This poem, hence
Talks of dreams and of failures
Descriptions of him
Sometimes random, sometimes sloppy
Far from proper or prim
More than just pages
It's my dear, silent friend
That listens to my laughter
And helps me comprehend
So here's to my notebook
A novel still being written
Who needs a boy?
I've got you, and I'm smitten.
p.s. sorry for just up and disappearing for a week. spring break was much needed, but it feels good to get back in the swing of things.
