things

Something I will never forget is the feeling that comes with being just two.

Chattanooga is not a very big city, you can see people that you know just walkin around, going to events Its like an enormous college campus; subject: life 101.

But Chattanooga has never been better than when it all melted away. When I was not just one of thousands but one of only two. As if you are the only two, because that is the only one that matters. It wasn't being on the mountain, it wasn't watching the sunrise on the Northshore. It was eating eggs with pepper and salt. It was running to buy cigarettes.

Though it may have been only potential, in that very moment it didn't matter where you stood in the "scene", the achievements that you might have made, the future and what it would bring. It was just being humans and sharing the same square foot of space.. You SEE the person. They could be the lamest and stupidest person to everyone else in Chattanooga or the most awesome famous city celebrity -- or something in between, but it wouldn't matter, because to you they are a person. To you they are an individual. And what really matters is their personality. They way they laugh, the things we talk about, the journey they are on, their believes, what they stand for.. doesn't matter what they do with that in the future, because at least that one moment and the way they were in it can be yours forever.

I wanted to be your best friend.
I wanted you to think of me as a home.
