Before

Before I storm down the stairs, slamming the door behind me.
Before tears well in my eyes and before I feel like I failed you.
Before your voice rises and I distance myself, shutting down.
Before you frown and before you ask about my grades.
You laugh at a joke I make, causing your cheeks to crinkle, showing the
beginning of old age.

A/N: I know it's short but it's something I did awhile ago and I thought I
hadn't put anything up in a long time so I'd just post it. Readers of It's
Our Life, I'm really sorry for not updating in so long. I'm having major
writers' block with that story. But I did motivate myself to continue
working on it the other day. Hopefully I'll have it up soon. Thank you
for staying with me!
