So tired

mywords2228

But I don’t want to sleep

When you are around and our time is always so short.

Together we laugh and we get attached.

Only to feel disappointed when life gets too busy.

For even a simple hi is becoming just a pass-through.

I know the push and take is strong and it’s like we’re fighting back but what for at this point.

It feels like a losing battle of hope things will be different.

But it’s not for you were never ready for me to come back and now that I am.

Everything is crumbling and sometimes we’re both trying to pick up the pieces.

Of this friendship but lately

we just leave the pieces until next time.

My mind

mywords2228

Is running around in a circle

And I feel like I’m running out of time.

I feel like I’ve said this before

Is this déjà vu feels like or have I just lost my mind?

It’s been a long and tiring week

Yet I have never felt this great on the inside.

The outside is still catching up but I will get there someday.

To get things done the right way.

As my mind runs the show

Will he out rule my heart one day?

Some days

Are easier

Then others.

But today is a good day to just be alive

At this moment, I am happy.

I am relaxed, and I am blessed

To a point where words can not express

How I feel that the more I try, the more

Nothing makes sense to me.

And maybe that’s because I don’t need to have the answers to everything.

I just need to be happy at this moment.

Such a

lazy Saturday where  no worry or stress is on your mind. 
just the feeling of lying around watching movies and listening to music
while I enjoy the quiet day ahead. 
You don't have or want to do much more now.
You know that today just feels like one of those days when so much is going to be expressed and every song just relates to what you are feeling. 
Today seems to be going by so fast but not as fast as you hoped.
Just when you thought it couldn't get any better than before.
You soon receive flowers and nice bottle of  wine to go with your snack of grapes and blackberries. 
And you think what a nice take to a lazy Saturday for you.

Tired of

mywords2228

All the things I put myself through

Just to feel close to you.

I can’t be this way for it’s tearing who I am

Part and each day I feel sadness or I’m so mad I could just scream.

I won’t know what is going through your mind.

But I can’t just keep going on like this

For it reminds me of the past and I am not that girl anymore!

I won’t settle now and I didn’t then.

My wake up call was so much sooner this time around.

So goodbye to the moments that felt so right.

Now nothing seems alright.

Just so empty and pointless.

Thinking of

mywords2228

All that could be used to be a thing to past time.

But today I just want to talk and be in the present.

But I know to reach out seems like I’m hoping for something more.

Like a dream that won’t ever come true for it really isn’t meant to be mine.

For I’m doing what I need to do even if the support I have isn’t yours this time.

Where

mywords2228

Did my voice go

Why is my mind so empty

As I just move about as if there is not much to do.

No concerns as my day ends.

I keep staring at the things I want to do

But don’t have the energy to do them.

Maybe all I need is some sleep and that will kick start this need in me.

To write

To breathe

To be who I was meant to be.

We’ve been

Three Line Tales 239

dreaming of this moment since we first started this journey

and now it’s time to shine and not stress about getting it right just going with the flow and hoping it all works out and they love the story we are telling.

So here we go were in this together and will continue to be together as long as we work hard and trust each other for it’s a hard competition out here in the ballerina world.

Just The

mywords2228
Friends forever

two of us.

Together our friendship makes sense and no amount of time can truly make us fall out.

Because when we come back together it’s like we pick up where we left off.

Like blue and red storm floating above us.

We are so different from each other that we have just the right skills to bring out the best in one another.

You are my blue to my red and the yin to my yang.

And when I smile you smile too, there have been moments of happiness and sadness between us.

And moments of anger and forgiveness and we have grown through it all.

Now we are adults and we are living our lives maybe not how we picture it but we are thriving no matter what.

We’ve worked hard and played even harder and where ever life throws us.

We will survive, rather it is with us being as close as we were before or just supporting each other from a distance.

For the love of this bond will go on and maybe one day it will be stronger even more.

These nights

mywords2228

100 Word Wednesday: 163

sitting on our log looking out into the night has always been my favorite time.

As we caught up on each others days or weeks since sometimes seeing each other were more spaced out then before.

But I know that if I ever needed anything you would drop everything to make sure I got what I needed and more.

And I would do the same for you with no questioned asked and accept the circumstances that might come with this territory.
