Here Today, Gone Tomorrow [Love, Jay, Sher]

It's empty in the valley of your heart
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Away from all the fears
And all the faults you've left behind

The harvest left no food for you to eat
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
But I have seen the same
I know the shame in your defeat

The days started to get longer, and rainier. David and I had been out here for almost two weeks already, and life was great! The house was almost done. Nothing much, a small cabin, one door, two windows. Just a small, cute house for us to live in instead of a tent. It provided more privacy for us, you know, since we are in love and all that.

But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again

We would be having to make another one soon though. We were going to bring another girl out. Ruby was her name. She was David's pen pal from District 8. I didn;t know what to make of her yet, mostly becasue I hadn't met her. But from what I've heard, she is a nice girl. I guess I'll just have to wait and see know?

So come out of your cave walking on your hands
And see the world hanging upside down
You can understand dependence
When you know the maker's land

So make your siren's call
And sing all you want
I will not hear what you have to say

Well, our relationship is good and strong. We decided that we were in love, and neither of us could hide that fact. Just 2 weeks ago, he had helped me up off the ground in District 11 after I had been abused again my my good-for-nothing father. He was the only reasonable, caring boy in district 11 for all I knew, the only other one was killed by my father a good years back, and it broke me in two. David, well, he lifted me back up off the ground. Literally. Ever since, he kept lifting me up, mentally, and I guess still physically. He brightened my spirits and gave me anything and everything i had always wanted! His care and love. You know, you have to use the word love carefully. Sometimes, people didn't mean it. I was careful with that and David. i hoped he hadn't used it just carelessly, but he proved to me he didn't. He kissed me with so much passion that, uhg, it was beautiful!

Cause I need freedom now
And I need to know how
To live my life as it's meant to be

So that's pretty much how life is these days, Here today, and gone tomorrow.

And I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
