Memories of Matthew

Today was another great day with Katlyn. During the entire psych class we passed notes to each other. It reminded me of when I was young, like the children in elementary school and the way they pass their little love letters. It was hard to concentrate in class because every time we passed a note, our hands would touch momentarily and she’d look at me and smile. I can’t help but to smile back. Her eyes are so beautiful and her smile is stunning. She really blows me away. I still have no clue what the lecture was about, but it is still my best class for the simple reason that she is there with me.

The professor dismissed us slightly early, so again Katlyn and I went to the food court to grab some food. This time we got it to go and headed back to my dorm. Next thing I know we were going at it again. God, I love her lips. Unfortunately it had to end prematurely because she had to buy some books for classes before the bookstore closed. Right now, I am so infatuated with her. I can’t stop thinking about her, those beautiful eyes, and those soft, sweet lips.

I had a great time today with Katlyn, no doubt about it. But my heart still held a deep sadness. It wasn’t just me. It was obvious all throughout the campus. Even though I saw a smile here and there, I could still sense the pain in everyone’s heart. Today is a day that will always remind us of terror. It is a day that will bring grief to all our hearts. It demonstrates how wicked and evil people can truly be.

Still, with all the horror and pain this one day brings to us every year, I feel it also reveals to us the good in people. It reminds us that we are all human, and in times of need no matter what our differences are, we can work together and help one another. It is a day that brings tears, yet illustrates the love we share.

Each day of my life I do my best to question religion, spirituality, and God in every way. But on this day, I can not help but close my eyes in sorrow and say a prayer…
