we posted all the fortunes we ever got on our windows but when it rained and condensation formed on the window all the little white fortunes turned into rainbows and our fortunes melted away. all the burts bees i've ever owned have been through the wash in the pockets of my worn-in jeans. our walls were too white for our liking so we ripped the pages from coloring books and covered the whiteness with pictures of sea animals and hello kitty. my side of the room was never neat, but it didn't bother caitlin. when the sun finally came out i bought watercolors and we sat in the quad and painted for hours. my mommom sent us valentine's day cards with tiny heart confetti inside that we'll never get unstuck from the carpet. we spent days and nights in practice rooms, not so much practicing but more of enjoying each other and singing together. the sounds you can make from the piano have always amazed me and i think i finally might have the courage to jam with you even though i'm not as good as you. bubble wrap and getting packages in the mail and brightly colored sunglasses were the things that got us through rainy days and mondays. i sang harmony to everything i heard and did laundry too often and didn't get home very much. we ordered rainboots from target but we never wore leggings and tshirts because we laughed at the girls who did. we made friends with the percussion studio and jammed out with them any chance we got because they're the coolest guys ever and we couldn't go without it. i wanted to get a tattoo but i'm definitely not allowed to, besides if i got one all i'd really want is a little tiny peace sign inside a treble clef right behind my ear because that's all we really ever want and that's where we found it - peace in music, music and peace, stairwells and teabags and sunshine and peace.
