In such

mywords2228

A short time we have become your angels

Standing behind you no matter what.

Trusting in each other as the night goes on and dark becomes light as we are together into the morning each day.

As a little family, we look out for each other.

We lift each other up and eagerly await to learn more from each other.

So intertwined we can almost read each other’s minds.

We are forever connected no matter where we may end up going at the end of the day.

No issues as we connect over and over again.

Forever loyal to one another.

With no doubt, we have each other back.

Whether we are questioned today or tomorrow.

You and I

mywords2228

So different but

Yet we’re drawn together.

Connecting and reconnecting overtime

Feels so right and this time I won’t let go.

Fighting myself to not mess this up.

Always so bright when you are near and I love it.

The darkness is no more when you are around.

Today will be great no matter what

For my light is shining brightly since our interaction yesterday.

With so much

mywords2228

Going on around me

And well hiding isn’t an option.

For I want to survive

Well being cautious and aware about what is going on around.

And I want to stand up and say something and not just hide behind a screen.

I want to work hard and feel like every step i take isn’t like me tip toeing around because I’m afraid to make the wrong move.

For I know the danger is not just in the streets but inside the buildings.

But to speak ones mind and to believe it will all work out.

Takes an higher power and I know no one can take him from me.

So with him I will survive dead or alive for my presents will not be forgotten about.

But for now I will survive alive and continue everything

And hope he will deliver no matter what the outcome for me will be.

For when he comes and paves the way there will be no human that can stop his victory.

To feel

mywords2228

Like it’s too soon to reach out to you again.

Even though being around you is like experiencing Christmas every day.

Your words are as sweet as chocolate and every time you say something I melt a little more.

You’re always so cheerful and jolly, like a good Christmas song.

You’re like the warmth of a fire I just want to be near on a chilly day.

You ‘re like a fan on an overly hot day, keeping me cool as the temperature keeps going up.

Your my marshmallows in my hot chocolate making an already sweet drink sweeter.

Your a nice night on the town, an memory worth cherishing.

Nothing about you is forgettable and for that I am so grateful.

For I know like every season I look forward to seeing you and experiencing the changes that come my way.

You’ve always

Been my rock through these tough times.

Just one hug

Just one kiss

Just one look

And everything that seemed too much no longer matters.

For you know how to calm me down and when to get loud with me on the subject.

You listen and only once I’m done do you give me your opinion.

You try to be non-bias when I recap something for you.

For you always want to see the good in people and when it doesn’t work.

You drop the bullshit and move on.

Your always making sure everyone is good before you take care of yourself.

You will always be a part of my happiest moments.

For every begins and ends with you.

Only you

mywords2228

Can answer these unanswered questions for me.

But, waiting for you to find the time seems like a longer wait then I thought.

But I will dig deep and use my patience for once.

And as days turn into weeks and so on I will wait for you.

For the answers are worth the wait at least that’s what I keep telling myself these days.

You are

mywords2228

the only one I can’t seem to shake

The only one I can’t see doing anything mean.

The one who does good and stays focus on the things that matter.

And maybe I’m not used to that because I’ve let myself get distracted by everything that is not right.

And now I don’t know what to do with you because I’ve never been in this situation before.

For your different and your full of light and the darkness isn’t something that seems to be gaining on you.

And lately I’ve felt so angry and well the darkness has swallowed me whole and thinking of you.

Has slowly but surely brought me out and today I will do better for me and you.

I usually

mywords2228

Don’t give in

But when I’m around you

I just can’t say no.

You suck me in with your sweet words

And in that moment I’m special and nothin bring me down.

You have a way with words that make me worry every time.

I want to pull away I just can’t and I truly see how you mean well.

But I’m suffocating from the attention that it’s driving me insane.

For there is always two meaning to what you say and you smile for you know just how to keep me hook.

If only

mywords2228

I could get you out of my mind.

If only for a day than I could stop

Being so angry and confused and just living between those to emotions all day.

I just need to get you out

I’ve tried music and exercise to bring myself to exhaustion.

And only when I sleep do I not see your face or think of you.

If only this could last more than six to eight hours.

Why is

mywords2228

It that the little bit you give me

Just isn’t enough and when you make me feel.

This way it’s more frustrating than pleasant.

Am I getting too much inside my head that I am missing what my heart is saying?

Will this struggle ever end?

Or will I have to say the words I’ve been trying to hold in this whole time?

Too afraid to share for rejection has been more of a friend to me than being accepted for all of me.

Will you see me as others do?

Or will you be different?

I was

mywords2228

Always the quiet one

Where you had so much confidence and was not afraid to voice your opinion.

But we both have great smiles that light up a room and warm the hearts around us.

We both care

And where you are slow to anger

I am quick like a forest fire and sometimes containing me is near impossible.

But, somehow with just a simple word here and there.

You calm me like still water after a storm.

I could be mad at you but every time it fades away the moment you smile or look my way.

We’re so different but so much alike that some times it’s hard to read between the lines.

When it comes to you and me.

What will we become?

Maybe it’s best to not know for now and let faith and fate guide our way.

I thought

mywords2228

I had it all together

Only fall float on my back.

Looking up at the sky and asking for help.

But not waiting around long enough to receive it.

So impatient sometimes but right now I give all you as I can’t carry it anymore.

I’m a fool to have tried to do it all on my own.

For it’s you I always run too, and it’s you I will always depend on.

For God I am I am falling with or without you but the fact that with you I will fall into your arms.

Without you, I will fall hard on the ground, and giving up will be so easy to do.

Sorry

mywords2228

For taking so long to realize that this affects me too.

No, I don’t know you but if I stay quiet isn’t it as bad as pretending it didn’t happen.

So much going on outside my box and for so long I have kept to myself.

Why?

Out of fear or maybe nothing more to say for everyone else has already said it.

I don’t know but I feel your pain now as I’m in this state of restlessness and I’m not in a hurry.

To keep working and focusing on the task around me as I watch people come and go.

Your light

shines brightly from with in you as you stand there in front of me.

Yes lately things have been overwhelming but your faith and strength has got you through it.

And no matter what has came or been thrown your way.

You allowed yourself a second to feel the frustration and then you prayed on it.

And soon that peace and calmness has washed over you leaving you with no worries.

For light has won the battle again, leaving the darkness scratching his head again.

As I

mywords2228
Unknown artist

Float through life lately I feel some pieces of me falling away

Like leaves from a tree when fall has finally arrived.

But that season has yet to come as spring slowly fades away and summer comes in.

From cold to warm to hot everything in my mind seems to go from thawed out to frozen to melting away.

Nothing seems as clear as before all of this and in a way I feel I found my voice again.

No longer sitting around waiting for inspiration but it showing up and taking control.

Maybe this change is what I’ve been waiting for and should embrace it and accept the pieces of me that have been left behind.
