It’s always

just been the three of us and I’ve cherish these moments we shared together. 

I know we went through those awkward moments together and came out with a friendship that is still so unbreakable. 

You two were always there protecting me from the wrong guy, the wrong decision the falls I kept finding myself about to happen but always had strong arms to lift or catch me before I hurt myself .

To me you two were my hero’s, my best friends and my brothers I didn’t ask for but, appreciate so much. 

I’m grateful for you two and I know as we watch sunrise this morning that there will be many more days when we just stop and enjoy these little moments together. 

I adore both of you and love you with all my heart and one day we will be separated but, yet still so connected.

And one day it will be our children getting to enjoy this bond we have and hopefully they will stay close and true to each other like we did all these years.

Hold on

mywords2228

for things will start to look up soon 

I know right now things seem so hard that holding on any longer just seems impossible. 

But, I’m here to tell you the pain you are feeling will be worth it at the end of this trial you are going through. 

You have trained for this and it’s time to hold longer than you have before because your strength to get through this is what we are looking for and what you need the most right now. 

You know not what tomorrow will hold for you and so today you must work so hard that you will be satisfied even if the tomorrow never comes or tomorrow you feel weaker than today.

Thinking

of you on this cold morning as I stand here 

my mind is full of sorrow of the times we had together and now there over. 

I know when I leave this spot and go back to the house we both used to call home 

you will be gone and the home I loved coming back to everyday will be empty and lonely.

I know that I have to leave this spot but I just can’t face what will come once I leave and so I stand out here just a little longer and hope maybe things will be different. 

If I come up with the right plan just maybe things will workout for us and this moment will just be temporary. 

I know that I am the key to your happiness and you are the key to mine when it comes to our love. 

I know this is the real thing and you are it for me so Our home my be just me for now but, soon you will be back and things will be better than before and I hope we stick this time and handle things differently from now on.

In my

Safe haven I read a new book in hopes of distracting myself from the things in life that just can’t shake from my mind.

Peace of mind is all I’m looking for right now and I just can’t wait to find it today.

I don’t know how long I will be here reading but, I know the peace that has fallen over me is so worth getting lost in this book today.

I know I needed this and I know that there will come a time when I won’t get to do this for a long time.

Crashing

mywords2228

down on me like a storm brewing outside 

Thunder and lightning crashing down as every word

that comes out your mouth hits me hard in my chest. 

I can feel the lightning hit my heart as it breaks into a million pieces 

and the little bit of hope that I was holding on to for us is gone. 

I’m gone and I wonder what will happen to me now as you took a little joy I had left in me. 

I float through my days on a dark cloud of hopelessness and I wonder when will the light come back. 

As days go by my heart slowly starts to fix itself and I feel the pain decreasing but the memories start to haunt me as I close my eyes and you appear in my dreams.

Just when I start to forget you, you reappear and the pain shots through me and I’ve been stuck again and this nightmare starts to grab at everything that was in the light trying to erase my happiness all together. 

I know I have a war in my hands and I have to fight tooth and nails to get out of this one and win back my sanity, my hope, my happiness and my peace of mind. 

This time I will come out on top and my heart will be a little bit stronger for the next attack that will come its way.

They say

mywords2228

take risk 

so here I am playing with fire 

burning away the file that tells you of my past. 

It’s time for me to move on and move pass all these things 

that rock me from the core. 

Time to feel like the weight of the world is not on my shoulders anymore. 

Time to feel like a brand new me and take on the world with both hands holding on tight to the things that matter. 

Time to let go of the stress and relax for once for more than a moment.

Seize the

moment that feels so impossible and make it possible with the biggest smile on your face. 

Don’t let a small or big puddle get in your way of really enjoying the day and capturing all the goodness while you’re at it. 

The morning comes and goes and afternoon arrives and soon is followed by evening to-night and then that day is gone. 

And as you fall asleep that night do you look back on the day and wonder what you could have done differently. 

Because, the next day could be better but only if you choose to make it more than what it starts at. 

Today is a blank canvas and now it’s your turn to paint the joy the light on to the canvas, it’s time to capture the moment and accept that what happens and happens.

But, if you can’t accept it than change it before it’s too late.

Sometimes in life you feel like there was something you missed out on and you try will all your heart to try to get that moment back but it never feels the same, that’s because you can’t go back in time and change what you missed out on you just have to accept it and move on.

These Stairs

I take every day to get to the path I run on. 

The path that leads me away from my troubles and pains and towards the only time when it just me. 

My thoughts are clear as everything fades away as I run and run until there is nothing left clinging to me. 

I come back more refreshed and at whole then I was when I left this evening. 

I know theses moments are needed as I let go and become free again, my soul so hopeful and yet forgotten now shines like never before. 

I know that my smile will grow more now than before and the results will look better in the long run. 

No more this is just holding me down, I leave everything at my feet as I take off and not look back to all the things that truly held me back for whatever I’m meant to be great at.

I’m home

mywords2228

In this place that makes me feel so warm and happy. 

I close my eyes and I smile for I’m finally in a good place and today feels so good to be me. 

Surrounded by nature and my favorite flowers just thinking about how my favorite time of year will be here soon. 

So I’m out here enjoying the time I have for soon it will get cold and the flowers will all disappear as coldness appears. 

I know this feeling that feels so right and at home won’t last for much longer but, I will smell all the sweet smells in and enjoy my little peace while I can with a smile on my face. 

This will always be my happy place and soon I will stand here in the snow and enjoy only for a little bit but the peace and innocence this place showers on me does not end no matter what the weather is like I will always love this place and visit it often.
