Austin Poem by Rose Whittington

Whispers in the dark
Secrets just for us
Laughter in your arms
Maybe we're just different

Maybe my fantasies are crazy
unrealistic, impossible
Today... I believe in slight chances

Hasn't been long enough to know
but I know I could lay in bed with you forever

Break from reality? Immaturity?
Only nineteen - too soon to know
too soon to care

Thought of the past days, repeated
'I would do anything for you...'

Hope is strange
So is life
