It’s been so long since we’ve sat down and had a meal together, I made your favorite and I hope you appreciate this time we have together.

I know this moment may not last for long but, I hope it will help bring us closer for it seem like its been so long since we’ve talked more than five to ten minutes.

The look  on your face was priceless and the hug and smile was worth all the energy and time it took to make a good meal for you just for this day if that’s all the time we have for now.

Daily Prompt: Dubious

Everything now just feels so uncertain and the direction I need to go in just can’t be found right now.

I’m wondering through life right now with no way of knowing if I’m doing it alright when the feelings inside of me are all jumbled up inside.

I try each day to try to sort through the things that are unclear to me but it seems like each step gets me no where.

I’m almost at the point of just giving up and just living with the knots and loops that have formed in my life.

And just accept this uncertain in my life and just work around it and hope that it may just work out on its own in time.

The riff at the beginning of his song set the tone for the whole night as his show went from good to great.

The crowd listened on and cheering and screaming when their favorite songs came on and the music played on and on.

I felt like I was becoming apart of the music as the night went on and on.

It was a moment to remember and something that I look back on today because it became apart of me loving music even more.

It was dark so much sooner now that daylight saving had ended and I just needed to keep on moving if I wanted to get home soon and out of the dark black night.

All around me the shadows played and everything seemed to echo as I quicken my steps to get home as fast as my little short legs could take me.

I knew I shouldn’t have stayed out so late but I was having so much fun that I just hadn’t stop to think about how dark it would be out tonight.

As I rounded the corner to my house, I didn’t see the lights coming toward me until it was too late.

Or at least I thought it was too late but, out of nowhere he grabbed me back just as a crazy driver turned the corner and kept on speeding down the ride with no care in the world.

He asked if I was okay and I said yes and he walked me cross the street and told me to be more careful next time for people around here don’t care if it’s a residential   neighborhood.

Speeding is in their blood and it at least once or more someone gets hit and it’s always because someone is being careless and speeding to get home or to work.

He walked away and soon he had disappeared into the night as I ran the rest of the way home and didn’t stop until I made up to my door and was safe inside.

I’ll never forget that day for if I do It feels like I’m being ungrateful for if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be here now living the dream life I have always wanted.

Daily Prompt: Neophyte

At some point in our lives we were newcomers and didn’t know anyone as we learned the basic subjects of school like Math.

You walked in the school hoping that you would be left alone for she wasn’t all that worried about making friends.

Being a newcomer was something she was beginning to get used too and that it was okay to just have no one trying to be fake with her just to get to know all about her like the last school.

She had math first period and so far everyone kept themselves busy with the warm-ups we did the first thing the beginning of class.

So while we solved the problems on the board, He would check to see who did their homework and the one’s that didn’t and will try to turn it in after the warm up.

She wasn’t that good at math but she promised her parents that she would try to do better when it came to her school work.

So she asked for help and hoped for the best when it came down to studying and learning all she needed to know and do this week.

The tutor was a guy who was really good and math and someone the teacher thought would be a good fit for her and she hoped so too for she really wanted to learn math and finally understand it.

me now as the leaves float around and you capture me through the hole in the leaf as we walk along the path in the forest.

We love fall as all the leaves fall down all around us, we are  in our favorite spot always hoping to capture a photo that will completely capture the amazing forest during  the morning time.

It’s cold out this morning what we wouldn’t miss out on a walk together before we start our day.

These walk help us grow together as we take the time to just talk and be one with no worry about what time we have to get back for its our time and it’s the weekend so the time and day is ours to do with.

You told me to stare to east and wait until you came back for me and as I waited I just knew you were trying to find a way to make one of the photos just a little more unique than the one we took this last week.

You amaze me every time you capture something new and show me the world from a new view and I start to wonder how many views there is on this world.

I mean you can take a photo in so many ways and people see the world in so many ways and live it differently too.

But, the way you view the world always just seemed so true to you and you didn’t always agree with others views but you respected them enough to let them do what they felt was right instead of insisting they live the way you do.

Take me away on a trip that will be long and lets take as many photo’s as possible so that every moment will be captured even if it’s just for our eyes only.

I’ll pack a couple of sweaters and boots for the weather and changing and winter is coming and even though I want to get away from the snow that is coming.

I’d go through any type of storm as long as you are by my side the whole time I know we will survive it all.

It’s cold out here today but, I just needed a moment to myself and standing out in front of the ocean just always calms me. 

My life lately seems like the rough tides that are coming in and no matter how much I try to deal with everything and try to be the bigger person some how it always comes back to knock me down. 

I can’t let you drag me down and around like those rough waves would do if I try to go out there right now. I won’t be ignored and knocked down when I  decide to stand up for myself and live a calmer path.

Daily Prompt: Gingerly

mywords2228

She had to be gingerly as she walked up the stairs so late after a long night at work.

she was just glad to getting to bed for she just didn’t think her body could go any farther on the amount of energy she had been using  up the last couple of days.

She had to be quiet as she came through the door for her roommate was probably already asleep.

She couldn’t remember a night that she wasn’t so exhausted that she didn’t remember when she fell asleep.

She just got ready for bed and soon was passed out and in the morning she would be well rested but the long days of work would soon rob her of her energy.

Days off became shorter and work became longer and she just wanted to breath without being at the same place over and over again.

Even though she liked her job she needed time away from all the stress.
