meant to let you into the truth that showed you the real me the part not many know about but I took the risk that day.

And now I still don’t regret it but as you watch out for me day and night I feel so grateful for your protection.

The days that are good become great when you are around and the days that a bad never really seem that bad when you come around and smile at me.

I never thought something this good could happen to me and last for such a long time.

100 Word Wednesday: Week 80

Image by Bikurgurl

 

here we are again waiting for the moment when we have to say goodbye and not see each other for sometime.

The time apart makes us crave to be together again and the time spent together is never enough but, we both knew what we signed up for when we got together and made a family.

We knew the navy came first and our time apart would be long sometimes but, when you came back to us every time it was always worth the wait for you complete us in the end.

I can’t

be foolish anymore.

I have to step up for the things I want

this is no time to cry over the things I don’t have.

It’s time to take action for this moment may not come my way again

your smile and your laughter makes me want to be carefree again.

The time for sitting and letting life pass me by is over and I’m walking out of this with a plan in action and I won’t stop until I cross the finish line.

No more wonder when it will happen for me for I will already know and I won’t question things when it seems to be going down hill.

I will just go for the ride and pick everything back up and walk or crawl my way back up to the top and make sure next time things stick.

What was not strong enough on its own will be strong enough now that we are a team.

beauty in on place

I can’t stop looking up at the sky and seeing the colors mix with the clouds.

As another great day beginnings for me

and I start to realize that I have a lot to be grateful for.

And this is the time when everything is shining down on me and I have to step out of the darkness to see how much the light has to offer me.

The darkness will not be around as much and I know I will truly be looking forward to the days that feel so good and peaceful to me.

Looking for more signs things are really turning around and as I search I know I must capture all the good times along the way.

Good

Company makes the tiring and long days not as bad as you would think.

You know when you have the right people around that things will work out in your favor.

You start looking forward to seeing these people and even though you have to work, you start to become a family and you have each other backs.

You know that things will be okay, you understand each other and know that sometimes someone is going to be off and you are there to help out a little bit more just to make things better for them.

You do your best because you want to work hard as a team and at the end of the day, your success is their success too.

Your happy and laughter and wouldn’t trade it in for anything but, maybe a couple of days off but you know you will be missed.

I thought

I was clever as I said those words to you.

I thought I knew what was needed to be said but, you prove me wrong and I’ll never forget that smile on your face.

All the small things from you became all the things that mattered.

Your sweetness was something I started to crave and I realized how lucky I was that day. 

You were truly special and different in your way and everyone else that came to play.

Didn’t have a chance to catch up to the strength and understanding you had.

You opened my heart and fixed all the pieces that were damaged and you opened your arms. 

And you never let me go even though sometimes I tried with all my might to push you away.

You never truly let me go even when I broke away one day.

For every time I looked around there you were and I could not ignore how I felt.

I feel

so discouraged about the things I want or need in my life right now. 

Decisions seem so much harder for me to make right now and I just don’t have the time to be taking my time to decide what to do. 

I want to hurry up and do the right thing but, life seems to not be going my way and I want to scream. 

But, even that seems like it would take up to much of my time and so I’ll sit here and be defeated and feel like I have failed myself. 

But, the truth is I don’t have the energy to fight right now and I just need this time to get my self together and maybe than things will start to look up for me.

Look

I’m not in the best of moods today and this look is all the warning you need. 

I’m clasping on to my jacket as I try to hold in the anger of this day to myself. 

You see I used to care a lot about things and people in my life but, all they showed me was I was important enough for them to make time for me. 

I stop trying to relay on others and just started to relay on myself for at the end of the day that all I really have. 

This world is a big place and I’m surrounded by so many people every day yet I’m sure no one really pays much attention to me anyways.

path that I am on is both dark and light and some days the light out weights the darkness.

And other days the darkness is winning the battle and light is slowing going out.

But, today the light is bright and shining through it all and guiding my way down the new path I am on now.

The end of the tunnel is starting to look great and with much hope it will all work out and lead to something great.
