I used to stare out those windows and day-dream about being anywhere but here and I wished everyday that I’d be one day closer to escaping.

And then one day I saw you outside those same windows and I realized I didn’t want to be anywhere else if it meant I could be with you.

And as I got to know you I realize this place wasn’t meant for us to stay and soon this town was behind me and as we drove away and it became smaller and smaller. I realize I was going to miss that town.

These bar wire gates separate us but they are not the reason you seem so far way from me today.

I know you have so much on your mind lately and things just don’t seem to be going your way and so you’re pulling away and the tear is so strong.

That it hurts to feel like were fading apart as everything begins to make us choose sides for you no longer want to care and I’m fighting every day to continue to care and fight for what I feel would be a possible to me and maybe  just me after all .

Take a trip with me and forget about all the things that make you so distracted

so tired and just not happy anymore, embrace the new adventure we are about to go on and smile because you are with me and you are safe.

No judgement as we do the things we both love to do as this trip goes on for days, lets leave here knowing we are new and improve and the world isn’t so dark for us anymore.

That day I played with the my new drone was the day you catch me by surprise, I didn’t think you were trying to distract me with the perfect gift.

But, when I turned my back around and watched my drone fly through the sky I knew I needed to bring it down and tell you how much I loved it.

And, as I turned to run to the house to tell you, I froze as I saw you walking towards your car with all your belongs and I knew you had given me my final gift that day.

The sun shines down on me that day, a day full of smiling faces and cheering as we run up and down the field.

We were in the finals and we were hoping to win it all and so we ran like crazy and scored until we were so ahead that there was no coming back for the other team.

We won and we hugged and cried and shook hands with the other team, we were proud of our accomplishment for we believed it would all work out and it did.

I had your back and you had my back and together we could accomplish anything we put our minds too.

Then one day you notice something we weren’t both good at and soon we were going into two directions and there was no goodbye just you disappeared.

And the anger and hurt I felt didn’t seem to matter to you now that we were no longer friends and you had moved on and I guess I had to move on too or I’d never get over the hurt.

Looking up at the sky as my day finally slows down.

And I can finally appreciate the beauty and peace this world has to offer.

Sometimes, I wish that beauty and peace came with some patience and a little more kindness.

Surrounded by everyone and feeling so excited that this journey is over, yet the feeling of saddest washes over me as we all walk off  the stage.

And take our seats again, the thought that I don’t get to spend most of my day with these people, my friends is coming to an end and as much as I wish we would stay connected.

The reality is it’s been years since that day and I only talk to some of you once in a blue moon and it’s sad but I’m living my life and so are you and I’m just glad for the memories.

I’m broken and as I sit here pouring my heart out to you I hope you hear the love and pain in every word I say.

for what I have to say is important and I need you to know that you are not alone and I’m always here for you.

Some nights may seem lonely when I’m on the road but, my thoughts and heart are always with you.

I was stung by you and the pain was unbearable that I didn’t know how much longer I could take it.

But, I took a deep breath and I calmed my nerves enough to make it through the horrible days after.

For I knew I had to fight for myself to get back what I thought I had lost all this time.

Here is my take for the Week Number Fifth-six:

 

 

You stood out so bright and red, that I could resistant but to stand next to you in my purple outfit.

I felt so bold and happy to find something as styles and beautiful as me and, for the first time in years I wasn’t afraid to get my photo taken.

So I leaned on you for some support and looked off into the distance as I became the focal of your photo.

Here is my take for the Week Number Fifth-Two :

It had been a long time since I’ve seen you shine so bright

when he said goodbye to you years ago I thought you wouldn’t smile again

but one day out of the blue you smiled at me and said it looked like a great day for a walk and after that day you were never that sad again.
