september.

every year
september is my favorite.
it always proves to be
the best month of the year, really.
and i can never put my finger on
as to why.
maybe it's been the football games and homecoming dances.
maybe it's because i turn 1 year older during its time.
maybe it's always been the excitement surging through the air.
there's always something new and thrilling.
the afternoon light always seems to hit everything at just the right angle,
illuminating everything in my mind as golden.

and it has always stuck that way.


this year i'm afraid it will be different.

but i'm determined to make it memorable.
