she is
January 26, 2009
big brown eyes, gentle smile and a mind that goes on and on like texas. i was still lost in baggy clothes and cholita eyebrows when there she was: a new friend. maritza. miss honor student off to stanford. the day she graduated i got to ride to the 100th floor of a skyrise i never knew existed. she’s strength, she’s kindness, she makes ten hours of girl talk feel like ten minutes. now, she’s off from new york to florida, one more place i’ll gladly follow .
