I posted this over on that myspace profile I have since I had my “Jesus is my best friend” piece there but felt like it needed to be swapped out for something else. I don’t know where these random needs and thoughts come from, but I just simply obey and go on with life. This is a little piece I wrote a long time ago, but I tweaked it up a little bit tonight. I’ve always liked it but I don’t think I’ve shared it with anyone before. I figured I’d share it here, too, since I don’t think many people read my myspace thing. It’s not that exciting. But my blog! Wonders and excitment galore! Anyway. Read. Enjoy. The end.<\/p>\n
\nA Gummy Bear Memory<\/b>\n<\/p>\n
\nIt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a stupid thing to keep, really. Why would a person keep a pair of stuck together gummy bears for so long? Because they remind me of you. Even after we drifted apart, I kept this little gummy bear statue in tact. I remember wrapping it in a piece of saran wrap and tucking it away inside an old box that I had where I kept a bunch of old letters. Going through that box, I spotted the saran wrapped bears at the bottom, still stuck together like glue after all this time. And I remember the day I put the pair together and was tickled pink by my own creation. I remember that I showed it to you and I said \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Look, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s like Christmas!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and you rolled your eyes at me and said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153How is that like Christmas?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\n<\/p>\n
\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I put together a green one and a red one, that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just like Christmas,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I told you. But you weren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t convinced.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Just because one is green and one is red doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t spell out Christmas to me.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d You were so hardheaded sometimes, not always enjoying the little things that I did.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Well it seems kind of Christmasy to me,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I said back to you. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153And anyway, I really put together the green one with the red because green is your favorite color and red is mine. But then I thought it looked like Christmas, so I said that instead.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d You looked at me then and smiled, and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll always remember that smile.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You should have said that in the first place,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d you said to me, touching my arm. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s better than Christmas.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d And it was.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
