Snow Cherries from France

I sipped the wine from my glass as I watched the lips of my friend move. He was talking about his journeys that summer, and what has happened since we last met. I listened so attentively as he recounted his trip to Dublin and around the coast of California. The sun was hot, and I felt it on the back of my neck. The lake ahead was blinding.

The wood of the dock was starting to burn slightly, so I moved to the edge and buried my feet in the water. My friend lay behind me. He lifted himself slightly and said "There's no trouble with us. We go day to day uncovering the dark. We can't notice how brave we are, or how fast we run."

He then lay back down and stared up at the sun, which was just starting to set.
The sky was the rose color of the wine in my glass.
His words walked with me back up to the house.

I also want to correct the grammar in that, if you don't mind.

after "hurt someone" there should be a period. After "older," you should have put "and"

Wont is spelled as Won't, its ok though, a lot of people don't get that.

I is always written in upper case.

Same as Won't, Cant is written as CAN'T.

I'm pretty sure you meant UNless, and theres and its one word.

Or maybe you accidently put the hyphen in UNless but you really meant to put it in "so called" cause usually, its "So-Called"

And again, after "Its sad" there should be a period.

And Feel is spelled wrong and there should be a period at the end of you.

You may try again, if you like.

Dear Anonymous reader,
The most childlike thing is to follow someone else's life when you try to express how you do not care about them. If you did not care, or feel so terribly "sorry" for Tyler, why click links to his blogs, read his materials, and why type out an unintelligent response? How cute.

This is beautiful. Need I say more? No, I don't.
