Hello
I just want to say hello
In the longest way i possibly can
I saw you there and I knew
I wanted to speak to you
I had to speak to you
And the best thing I came up with
is hello
Hello isn't just a greeting
It has many different meanings
So many ways you can say hello
You can say hey
With just a simple word
I'm telling you all the things
I want to say
Hello can mean I like you
Hello can mean I miss you
Hello can mean please come to my side
Make sure you follow what comes next
Make sure you read between the lines
Hello is just a letter addressed to you
I'm going to write you a letter
And in it a single message
"Hello"

Remarkable marks marring mankind
Cuts and scrapes, healed long ago
Reminders of a dangerous past
Proof that nothing wont last
Stories of our decisions
Preserved upon fleshy skin
Tattooed secrets of accidents and slips
New and shiny, fade to lines
Ridges and bumps
Beautiful imperfections, they’re signs
That we are growing
And our past is tagging along

So hold on to the memories
Embrace those discolored marks
Be thankful that you have…
Scars
Today I got a letter in the mail stating that this poem is going to be published!!!
