If only I had known this was the sign I was looking for, I would have looked closer to the details of who you are.

I would be so much happier now, and you would be mine and the days spent apart would be no more.

Every moment with you would be a sign that what I’ve been looking for was right in front of my face, always smiling and hugging me when I was down and lifting me up again.

I would do anything for you, like make you breakfast on your days off

or do your errands for you so you can just relax a little bit longer.

I know you work so hard so that life could be so much easier for us and for that I would do any little thing just so you feel appreciated when you start to think why am I working so hard.

I’d do anything just to see that handsome smile on your face, to hear your laugh and be wrapped in your arms.

Poetry

Daily Prompt: Exceptional

mywords2228

They said you were special the moment they laid eyes on you

the cutest baby they had ever seen.

You always seemed to be so happy

and the talent that came out of you from a young age, blew their minds.

They knew that everything you did would be good and amazing

nothing you did was half done.

You did everything to full amount and you didn’t ever give up when you weren’t good at something the first time around.

Sometimes they describe you as extraordinary but, you just smile and say you’re just like everyone else.

You have passion for the things you love to do and a dream you hope to accomplish and to you so does everyone else and if that makes you special than it makes everyone else special too.

Daily Prompt: Tame

mywords2228

So many things she wanted to change

just so that she could fit in.

No one told her, she had to be that way

but she felt that the pressure of feeling left out and she didn’t want to be alone anymore.

And so she broke herself to just be someone she couldn’t possibly ever be and in all the things she did.

What she became in the end was broken and lost and even though she was surrounded by all these new people.

The light that used to shine so bright through her now has dimmed out to the point she just a shell of a girl she used to be.

Empty and closed off she stood by the fire, wishing she could feel that light again.

Daily Prompt: Superficial

mywords2228

You try to be more than you are but, lately I see how empty you are

The joy that I guess you were pretending to be having has slowly but surely faded away.

I wish I could find a way to fill you up again with joy that could put a smile on your face again.

Daily Prompt: Believe

mywords2228

We believe in you

but you must believe in yourself.

In order for your dreams to come true in the end.

So many things to believe in.

So many things try to stand in your way when you believe in God sometimes

But, so many good things can come from believing in him.

Life has so many things we want to believe in for we want to do so much.

And experience the things that are so great and interesting.

You were

mywords2228

the hope I was looking  for.

The peace I needed to wash over me

the smile that lifted up my spirit after a long day.

The arms that picked me up when I couldn’t go on anymore

The joke I needed to hear, so that I could laugh again.

The eraser I needed to erase all the things that didn’t matter anymore from my brain and my devices.

Your one of the reasons I have a new beginning and hope that everything will workout.

You’re the reason I’m still fighting this thing called life.

Living for me because you gave up your life for me, trying to do what’s right and praying that things will get better but that I will take something away from all that has happened to me.

I won’t give up for you are there for me now as you were there for me than.

Daily Prompt: Elastic

mywords2228

Your always so flexible with your time

there is nothing that can be thrown at you.

That you can’t find a way to make time for it.

You don’t overwork yourself but you just  have the right amount of time and advise to give to those that you love.

Your door is always opened and your arms are always welcoming someone in for a hug

and your smile is always so bright and reaches your eyes.

There never seems to be a moment when you let other things get in your way, you are flexible for you have done so much and lived so long and enjoyed all that you were set out to see.

That now your ready to be put in one spot and you want to help out as much as you can and be true to all that have helped you over the years or months.

How do

mywords2228

I know it will all workout even after

All  the hard work I’ve done.

Should I patiently wait and see how it will work out.

Or should I take matters into my own hands and make sure it all works out.

Sometimes my patience is limited and the time it takes to wait feels like forever and ever.

And as I become inpatient, the more my anxiety kicks in on how these results will turn out for me.

For the doubt starts to worm his way in and all I can think of is this is going to end badly.

And most time it all works out and I tell myself to just have a little bit more faith next time.

And sometimes I remember that whatever happens I am capable of handling it all for my God is good all the time.
