Really short, random, sorta poem.

Happiness
It feels like sunshine
It tastes like sugar
It is the feeling that you want
But very rarely get
Happiness is worked for
And once it’s there
You never let it go.

I have too many, but I would have to say Harry Potter Boxed Set these books are the reason I started reading! Except for like, the hungry Caterpillar and that...

Thanks for welcoming me all! :)

Hi, I'm Collette and I am a writer and a reader and a bit of a geek when it comes to the following;

I am a bit obsessive compulsive when it comes to numbers (it is so weird!). I love reading (though I am not as fast as I once was). I live in Australia and own two dogs, two birds and a rat! (He is so cute and is called Raticus!)

Title: Moving Forward
Genre: Short Story, Romance.
Story by: Collette.
Synopsis: After surviving the attack on her home city, Shanice comes to a conclusion that will leave her and her friend Joey, broken-hearted.

“You are very lucky, you know that right?”
I jumped, his voice startling me and going through me like a ghost.
“I don’t see how.” I replied, once I gained back my composure.
He came around to stand in front of me so I was forced to stare at him while he spoke. He was so beautiful, and he always made me feel better whether it be through words, looks or touch. I really did love him.
“You’re alive; you can go on with your life now, no more hunting down the bad guys because the bad guys are gone.” He looked so hopeful, wishing I would admit that I could live a normal life, leap into his arms and kiss away the pain. I wished I could do that too, but that was all it was, a wish.
“The bad guys are never gone.” I crouched down, placing the single white lily upon the grass mound where my best friend’s body lay. She was an empty shell now, her spirit had moved on. I had to blink away the tears.
“No, they aren’t, but they are no longer you problem Shanice,” He wrapped his arms around my waist, holding me close and smiling down at me. “The only problem you have now is deciding if you want to give us a shot, because I love you, I want to be with you. Forever.”
I looked up at him, the sun hitting the lighter parts of his blonde hair, his green eyes beseeching me for an answer I could never give.
For here, in amongst this grave yard, the bodies of my friends and families lay beneath the dirt, I knew I couldn’t be with him, we had both survived the attack on our city, we both live to tell the tale of our government trying to kill our population, but we both won’t be together when the questions are asked, I will be gone and Joey will remain here, I know this because I know him, there is no possible way he will leave, not with the prospect that his family may still be alive amid the rubble, but I had no such luxury, the only thing this city held for me was pain, pain and death. I could no longer stay here, I had to move on with my life and to do that I had to let Joey go, because with him, I would never leave, I would be a prisoner here and I couldn’t live like that.
“No, I don’t...I can’t...” I breathed in, I had lied before and this one would set me free. “I don’t love you.”
Joey dropped his arms from around me, shaking his head, his face expressed in denial.
“You’re l
“You’re lying!” He seethed but I stood calmly, looking at him. “No, you aren’t, but, you must...why?” The last word barely disturbed the air, but I had heard it.
“I don’t feel for you how you feel for me,” I stepped closer to him, my hand on his cheek, my forehead pressed against his. “I can’t love you and I am sorry for that, but one day you will find a girl worthy of your love, she isn’t me.” I kissed him, one final time and let go.
“Where are you going?” He called from behind me.
“Wherever I’m needed,”
I smiled as I walked away, basking in the sunlight. I was free of this place; finally I could go and move on from here. The feeling was s new I giggled.
But I would not forget, the friends of my family, the smiles of my friends and the boy I loved but had to let go because he wouldn’t have the strength to let me go.
No, I would never forget, for who can forget their first love?
Who can forget the one that owns their heart?
