This is why we can't have nice things

We take them for granted.

Won't they always be there?

Apparently not.

You have to care for them,

Love them.

But I didn't

And I'm sorry.

It was my fault.

I took you for granted

And that's why I can't have nice things.

~ A poem tucked underneath Tessa's mattress.

The one wish that can never be granted

Is always the one you want the most.

I wish for you.

Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might, first star I see tonight.

I wish for you.

But that wish is never coming true .

~ Another poem written by Tessa. Found under the cushion on her window seat.

It's been years

And years

And years

Since I last heard you laugh,

Since I last heard you cry

And even longer since you were here.

Why must the years take you away?

All the memories,

Gone with the years

And the years

And the years.

~ Found in the spare room in Tessa's house.
