Is it weird for me to say that I still got shy when I thought of you and your face? Remember how we chilled, watched movies and sipped wine on my couch?
I thought we were at least getting somewhere—instead, you stopped coming around.
Is it weird for me to say that I still wanted you even though I knew you’d never stay?
I remember those Saturday nights we’d go to random places, playing and laughing all night.
Is it weird for me to say that when you disappeared out of my life, no matter the years, I always waited for you to show up or reappear?
When you finally did I had to act like I’ve been doing fine and like I didn’t want you near.
Is it safe to say that out of everyone you’re my favorite mistake?
‘Cause every year I missed your hands, your presence & your smile.
I thought of you EVERY DAY, 365 DAYS, but I knew you’d NEVER STAY.
I was a fool to even allow myself to keep thinking that way. You never deserved my time nor my attention.
Can’t believe I tried to get you to fill that position.

How the Harvest Mouse Came to Suisun Bay
A long, long time ago there was a family of harvest mice. Mice are common, but these were unique – born to those who had lived in the salty, marshy bay for many generations, these mice ate and drank from the sea as well as the land and rivers. For generations, there were only the southern families, scattered along the marshes of Corte Madera and in the San Francisco Bay (U.S. Fish & Wildlife, 2013). One family, however, would undergo strife and conflict before reaching a whole new world. What became of them after is another tale entirely – but this is how their story begins.
