“So Miss Jennifer Walters, your test results have come back in and everything seems to be normal except one thing, but it shouldn’t be a big deal.”
“Oh, well my stomach has been having some pains lately – I didn’t know if that meant anything?”
“Well, we can do some test, but unfortunately you wont hear the results until after you come back.”
“That’s fine. I’m sure it’s just something minor anyways. Thank you for your time Dr. Phelps.
“My pleasure, tell Dean I said hi.”

Under The Stars

Submitted by ecope on December 7, 2007 - 14:10.

As I lay under the stars
Without the sound of cars
I think about the girl next to me
I don’t have to see
For her face imprinted in my thoughts
Her touch hoping for lots
In the grass we lay
Wishing we could every day
Time passes without thought
Bugs fly free uncaught
Thoughts unsaid
Constantly being fed
With feelings that teach
Understood without words or speech
