Maybe

I’ve waited too long but right now this feeling is just floating in the air and the feeling of it is so strong, I fear it will knock me right over.
My fear for this to be gone grows everyday and every night that the words are left unsaid.
I don’t know if I should say something because what if I don’t really mean it and then once said it can’t be taken back.
It’s time to truly let you back in or just let you go and move on with no ties left behind in the end.
For I can’t keep moving forward with a piece of you holding me back at the same time.
In a way I have moved on but the memories of you just seem to stay even though everyone else has already faded from my mind and heart.
Why does it seem the connection I had with you is still holding on when at times I don’t think about you at all.
Like the memories of you only happen during certain seasons of the year and other times it’s like your far from my mind and then it’s like you pop up like an email from an old I didn’t expect to hear from again.

Daily Prompt: Prickle

It had been a long day and rain and wind was really picking up outside
and even though the storm was pretty bad.
She continued to read her book and relax on the couch when a loud bang and lightning
scared her and the sound made her skin prickled with fear.
She decided that it was best to go upstairs and get away from all the windows and lay inside my bedroom where she would feel safe again.

Friendship
Advertisements
Our friendship is something I look forward to
the talks we share are so great and the time invested into this friendship
is the reason it hasn’t fallen apart like the rest.
I don’t take you for granted and I care about the things that are going on with you rather they are small or large.
I have your back even when you just want to be alone and just want to do everything on your own.
I tell you to not go down the same path I went for some times I feel so hollow inside and time has not yet healed those wounds of my mistakes.
You are my fresh air when life just feels like I can’t breathe anymore, you are the strength I lean on when the world’s ugliness is just too much for me to handle.
You are my light when the darkness is all I see in my life and every where I go.
You are my antidote to the poison of this world that tries to bring me down now and then.

I knew talking him would just be a minute of his time for he was always so busy
and the time he had to give out was growing fewer these days.
I quickly said hello and then spilled out everything that I had felt and had gone through these past couple of days.
And then like lightning you were gone off to tend to the list of responsibilities you had to get done.
And in the moment I hoped you’d come back later and say something, as the day went on I tried to keep you off my mind as much as possible.
I soon lost myself in a book while listening to some music and didn’t hear you knocking on my door.
It wasn’t until my phone lite up and your name was on my scene did I pause my music and answered my phone.
You asked if I was home and I said yes, you said then open the door please and I smiled knowing you would show up tonight.
We talked as the night faded away into the morning and until we just fall asleep, the next morning I woke up and you were still around and I feared you were late for something.
So I woke you and you smiled at me and wrapped me in your arms, I leaned into you and asked if you had to be somewhere and I didn’t mean to make you over-sleep.
You smiled and said there was no place you needed to be then right here with me and that everything else could wait.
For today was ours to enjoy and explore and remember and cherish for a lifetime.

Let’s go to somewhere far away before this summer ends, even though we haven’t really had a break this summer.
Let’s just go away and lose ourselves before things really get busy and time just seems to be moving too fast for us to even think about slowing down again.
Let’s sing our favorite songs until we can’t stop laughing about the time we did that and how young and silly we were.

Daily Prompt: Organize
Advertisements
I try to organize everything so that I know where all the most important things are.
But, somehow along the way something gets out of order and the mess just doesn’t get solved and then I start all over again.
The process to put this here and that there and try not to make a mess again but it just keep getting mess up and I’m starting to get tired of fixing this all over again.
And so I try to come up with a better way to organize all the things that need to grab at the notice and have with me or read over when the timing is right.
Finally, my organizing skills have paid off and all that I need is in the right place and it looks just as good as it did two weeks again when I put everything together.

Relax

I wish I could do that but the very thought of relaxing just doesn’t
sit well with me.
It’s like if I think or want to do it something comes up and I’m off running around doing all the things I didn’t want to do on my day of relaxation.
relaxing seems like a vacation which I have no time to take or to enjoy if it ever comes around.

Running

around like we used to do as a child
just trying to catch one another and laughing as you almost caught me.
But, you miss me and stumble to the ground and, I turn around just to check on you
and as I get close I see you holding your hand.
And I instantly feel bad that you hurt yourself and just as I lean down to ask you if you thought it was just sore or sprained or even broken.
You pull me down with your supposed hurt hand, and you laugh because you fooled me and you won because you caught me.
Such a cheater you were when it came to these games but your smile made me stop being mad.
But, I push away and say first back to the house has to cook lunch and I run away as fast as I can.
I close the door behind me so there was no way you would win and I would get a free delicious meal out of you.

Somethings are

better off left alone and I felt that way when it comes to you.
But, from time to time my thoughts drift to you and I feel like I should reach out over the miles of distance that kept us from being so close again.
And just try to be your friend but, then I realize why would i want that or am I really sure I want to go down that long and lonely path again.
Something are better left alone the past whisper to me as the future shines a light down my path to help guide me away from the things I think I want or need in my life.
As the door closes and locks for good this time I’m truly don’t ever wonder if I made the right decision for my life is so full of joy, peace, and it feels so much more complete than before.
When there were so many holes I didn’t know if I could fill them all and so I would end up drowning from all the things pouring into the life I thought I wanted and needed at the time.
God finally showed me what I needed and wanted was not the same.
And, that I was better off with the baggage from my past out of my life.
For what I stood for now wasn’t the same and who I was
was not the same girl as before.
I needed to embrace the new me and try not to get in trouble.

Daily Prompt: Delivery

Some people wait for so many different types of delivery every day
a surprise delivery of beautiful flowers show up on Sara’s desk on Friday Monday.
Peter comes home from work hoping his box from amazon had arrived so he could finally watch that movie and play his new video game.
Amber waits patiently for the delivery of her new baby brother, hoping for some else to play with once he grows up.
She hopes he likes her because she already loves him so much and sees how happy his arrival has made his family so happy.
And all they really want is to get their delivery on time and for nothing to go wrong with it.
