for you.

by Emily Tong

today is for you
a sweet lonely thursday
a sinking sand day
for you.
today is not over
yet, but even in this Grayness
tomorrow will come
tomorrow will come bringing
all itÂ’s happy hopes and wished for
daydreams.
but today is for you.

for you who has had too many
red mondays
the tide will change. even
now the Sea rises up
to greet you on this day. today.

today is for you.
for unexpected shortcomings,
for the alarm clock that
rings before the dream could
satisfy. today is for
reality. for you.
for the frost on the pumpkin.
for Once upon a times

today is a
sweet lonely thursday
for you.

Author's Note: i've thought about this more..
and i think this is more of me talking to myself
than anything else..
it's just easier to think
when there's someone to think to...
does that make sense at all?
