24. They say opposites attract,
And its true
Because I was water and you were fire
And I couldn’t resist the warmth of you.
Ignoring the fact that the more time I spent with you
The more I disappeared
And you were not a fan of the ghost of me.
Slowly, I condensed back into myself.
Less of myself, but myself nonetheless.
And your embers called out to me once more,
Promising to burn less brightly.
But somehow my return ignited you.
Until I evaporated once more.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO ELLEN MARIE *** just had to know *** ++++++++++++ As Mike drove through the town he hadn’t seen in about twenty years, he wondered about those he’d left behind when he left for what he thought would be “greener pastures.” He wanted to make his mark on the world. Determination drove him and the little town of Meadowville wasn’t where he wanted to be.
