What tore us

mywords2228

apart doesn’t seem to matter anymore as I’m drawn to you tonight.

You smile and I smile and all the things that hurt me and that hurt you are all in the past and now that time has healed those wounds.

Maybe now we can start something new and get to know each other all over again as we have both grown over the years.

Were not the kids we used to be and now talking just seems so much easier and we laugh about the things in the past that seemed like a big deal at the time.

You lean on me as I lean on you and we both realize that there was so much we had been missing out on in each other life. 

We both felt like we needed more out of the life we had and just needed someone new to help us push past the borders in our life. 

And move into a new space and see what life takes us outside of the box we had grown so comfortable in. 

You became so much more than I thought was possible in my life and everyday I made sure I spent time with you and didn’t want to take you for granted again. 

For I didn’t know if this would be my last chance with you but, I hoped that we would build a strong enough bridge to hold us together and that we would not ever have to worry about not being in each other lives. 

We made plans and follow through with them and we made sure we didn’t get lost in each other. 

But, that we helped each other reach a goal each day or week because we didn’t want to resent one another and we wanted to be the best at what we loved and to know that the fire that burns in both of us is still going strong. 

I believe in you and you believe in me and at the end of the day we will always have each others back until the day we die.

The beautiful purple sky reminded me of your beauty and I just couldn’t get you out my mind after taking multiply shots of the sky that day.

I have not ever seen the sky so purple it felt like a once in a lifetime thing and I just couldn’t believe I was lucky enough to witness it.

It was like the day I met you and we talked for hours and hours until we both realized we had to get some sleep and go home, I never forgot you even though you blew me off after that. I will always keep that memory with me of that night.

I’m Hiding

because the words I know you about to say just aren’t what I want to hear right now  and so I have to go before you can finish saying it all to me.

You call and I ignore out of fear that the words that will be said won’t be so joyful this time of year.

And I just can’t bear not being in a good mood right now, so please just let me be right now and if what you have to say is not nice or good.

Can’t you just wait to say them because I just don’t want to deal with them right now, I want to stay on my hill of happiness.

I don’t want to slide down and be at the bottom and hear the cruel words pour out of your mouth after such a long day.

But, I know that I can’t hide forever and I need to listen to what you have to say so that I can accept it and move on.

Daily Prompt: Calling

I was dreaming such a great and wonderful dream when I heard you calling my name and at first I thought it was just in my dream.

Until the sound of your voice got closer and closer until I felt your breath on my face and I realize then it was not a dream at all.

I woke up with a smile pasted on my face as I threw my arms around you as I was so happy to finally see you home again.

It had been too long and with the holidays coming around I was just so glad that you were here to stay.

100 Word Wednesday: Week 50

Photo by Brooke Lark

Christmas is just around the corner and I know that were all going to be together and it would be fun to try some new drinks together.

So let me gather up all the cranberries I can find and some pears and anything that would make a great drink.

And try a couple of recipes out  to just make sure they taste great for I want them to enjoy these drinks and for this holiday to be one that they remember for a very long time.

To tell

mywords2228

you the truth, I want to reach out to you but every time I start to write something to you

something stops me and I quickly let you slip away from my mind.

And maybe it’s for the best but, lately you have been on my mind and I just want to say hi and maybe soothing else.

But, maybe it’s best that I stay away for right now my emotions are all over the place and I don’t want to say something I know I shouldn’t but I want to say it so bad.

If only I didn’t know how this would end and I could just let the words flow from me and not care where they fall and just accept the outcome.

It’s tearing me apart to not say the words but, at the same time I feel like if I make a move it will be the wrong thing and the outcome won’t be good.

Right now I need to do what’s best for me and try real hard to let it go and let the words slip away from my mind and move forward knowing that I made the right move.

Daily Prompt: Relate

As you told your story everything just hit home and I could relate to it all and as you said your last word.

I just had to let you know that I too had been there and it does get better if you just keep strong and don’t let the things that keep falling out you get you down.

You will be blessed and things will workout in the end and don’t give up when it just seems too impossible for something good to happen to you, after all the things that happened to you were bad.

This year isn’t over yet and there is just enough time for your luck to turn around and be good as you end this year on a good note and next year begins and your finally where you want to be.

Smile and laugh for it always makes things better and it time for you to turn that frown upside down and make it right side up and don’t worry about what others things because at the end of your day you are the one who lives with you.

Open your eyes and love you for you and even if the list of things you have done this year is small just be grateful that you are still around to do them.

I believed in you even when you didn’t want to hear what I had to say, at the end of the day I knew when you truly pushed everyone away my words will have stayed with you.

Daily Prompt: Compass

I always seem to get lost and the compass you gave me so long ago

always seems to help me find my way back to you.

Today the snow was light and the forest just looked so right to explore

I took pictures to capture every great moment before it got too dark and I would have to head in for the day.

I must have taken too many different turns that day for I was too far away to see the path that I should have not left.

I try to call you so that you wouldn’t worry bout not cellular reception out this far and the only thing left to relay on was your compass and with nothing but myself and backpack on.

I headed down the hill hoping to find my way out of this maze, at first everything was going so well but then about half way there the compass just starts to go crazy and I’m left with no true sense of direction.

Talking to you

mywords2228

always is worth the wait, I know we don’t talk as much anymore and I don’t know how you feel about that. 

But, life is throwing so much at both of us that the time when we could probably talk just doesn’t happen for we both end up just being too tired. 

So days have gone by and maybe even weeks and months and then one day it just seems like a good time to say hi and it always never seems like time has gone by. 

We just pick up where we left off and talk and talk until we have nothing left to say until next time when ever that may be. 

Time doesn’t really stop me from not caring and the feeling of not being there for you always doesn’t sit right with me but, I know that life is pulling us both in two different directions. 

SO it’s hard to but the certain that when something big happens you are always the first to know and even over tired you always seems to make just a little bit of time seem like hours. 

The memories and the moments yet to come are the things that I look forward too as this year comes to an end and a new one is yet to begin.
