With someone~
She said, "And sometimes in life, you have to translate things to have whatever it is make sense to you, to make whatever it is before you mean something to you, not that most everything and everyone doesn’t mean something to you, because to me, it all does, what I mean by meaning something to you is what whatever it is will mean all that it is supposed to and meant to mean and to translate something, sometimes it isn’t just looking at and knowing the definition and pairing that with the word, sometimes it is to find what a word in another language means in your own, that maybe share the same definition, and then too I think about a person from another place speaking a beautiful language that I do not understand, in a courtyard surrounded by Christmas lights, drinking sangria, swaying to a ukulele, in bronze heels by enormously incredible white flowers, under stars, under understanding, and I know that we have different lives, different experiences, different loves, and different meanings (for one word, two words actually) and still, I have been there before too, in a courtyard, surrounded by Christmas lights, drinking something, swaying to a guitar in bronze heels by enormously incredible white flowers, under stars, under understanding, and I know what that means to me, with someone, somebody for someone, everything with could ever be, and sitting here saying this to you, in this room, with still means everything it could ever be, and everything it could ever mean, because of somebody and someone."

Hi sweetie, I just thought about something while reading your blog. You might want to put in a note on the side column about copyright, just as a precaution. You just never know these days. Someone might use your poem somewhere and publish it in their name.
