sometimes the people you wanted as part of your story were only meant to be a chapter

stars are not small or gentle. they are writhing and dying and burning. they are not here to be pretty. i am trying to learn from them.

(from "sky poem" by caitlyn siehl)

[bhv-kdl]

no estoy celoso, si es eso lo que piensas. no veo por qué tienes que amar a una sola persona, si en tu corazón hay espacio para dos. no me perteneces. tan solo me pertenece lo que sientes por mí. pero tú puedes sentir otras cosas... por otras personas. los sentimientos son libres y no siguen normas de ninguna clase.

i'm not jealous, if that is what you think. i don't see why you have to love only one person, if in your heart there is space for two. you do not belong to me. only what you feel for me belongs to me. but you can feel other things... for other people. feelings are free and don't follow rules of any class.

when they ask you what your favorite moment is, you will say her. you will always say her. - caitlyn siehl

[bhv-kdl]

when your little girl asks you if she is pretty, your heart will drop like a wineglass on the hardwood floor. part of you will want to say "of course you are, don't ever question it," and the other part, the part that is clawing at you, will want to grab her by her shoulders, look straight into the wells of her eyes until they echo back to you and say "you do not have to be if you don't want to. it is not your job." both will feel right. one will feel better. she will only understand the first. when she wants to cut her hair off or wear her brother's clothes, you will feel the words in your mouth like marbles. "you do not have to be pretty if you don't want to. it is not your job."
