A place a million miles from home<\/p>\n
Durham, North Carolina<\/p>\n
Our smiles were meek<\/p>\n
Our smiles searched for a friend<\/p>\n
And so it began<\/p>\n
The best two weeks of my life<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We wrote stories<\/p>\n
From poetry to playwriting to critical writing<\/p>\n
We analyzed the craft<\/p>\n
We fell in love with words<\/p>\n
We began friendships<\/p>\n
We stayed up all night talking<\/p>\n
We laughed at the other camps<\/p>\n
Wondering why they needed mandatory fun time<\/p>\n
We never needed that<\/p>\n
Fun time was never ending<\/p>\n
The best two weeks of my life<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tears fell like raindrops as the weeks came to an end<\/p>\n
Without each other<\/p>\n
We didn\u2019t know how our hearts would mend<\/p>\n
For we truly had found soul mates within each other<\/p>\n
The love of creative writing was our common thread<\/p>\n
But as I said goodbye<\/p>\n
I tried not to cry<\/p>\n
I said, \u201cSee you later\u201d<\/p>\n
For our friendships were not over<\/p>\n
And I could never end<\/p>\n
The best two weeks of my life<\/p>\n
