"You touched my fingertips.
I felt it. My heart skipped a beat.
Taking hold of my hand. It stopped.
The high school child in me embraced
the playtime once again.
Sitting on a park bench thinking of our bleachers
at the Friday night football games.
Now we cheer for the pigeons as they fight
for the bread crumbs.
It's all so beautiful, only different times.
We are here still together, that's all that really
matters.
Beautiful to reminisce, grateful that
we can.
To kiss each others lips, and start our hearts
pumping once again."

Don't force things,life has a way of making things work. What's meant to be will be,whenever,wherever,however.

Beware of just merely existing


                   You have to live

it was as if I saw my own self being pulled away slowly by strong ocean waves, but I didn't call out for help, and I didn't use every ounce of inner strength to save myself because what was the point?

It's funny,

i went from having absolutely everything I thought I needed, to just a shell of bones left to wander around aimlessly

What a difference a year makes

-a year ago today I was so immensely in love with you.
a year ago I was planning a weekend trip for us.
a year ago I was thinking about what birthday present would be both sweet, and creative.

What a difference a year makes  
-one year later, I'm spending my money on myself.
one year later I'm traveling to my favorite cities with a new group of people.
one year later, I learned that before you I was living just fine..and that lively spark that I believed you gave me was there all along.

Before you,
I was breathing just fine.
I was leading my own way.
I was living.

After you,
The sight of you driving away from my house as we said our last goodbyes will never succeed in leaving a permanent mark on my life.
After you..I will not just continue living, rather I will burst through my old shell and create a new.
