It’s been

mywords2228

rough these past days it felt like a strong storm just kept hitting me hard to the point that getting  back up just didn’t seem possible.

The tear flowing down my face was like a bad rain storm that would come and pour so hard then disappear as quickly as it came along.

The pain just felt so unbearable that all I could do was sit or lay still for a great amount of time.

Nothing came to my mind as the day begun and as the day ended, time went by and nothing seemed to change in my mood.

The light was fighting so hard to overcome the darkness and just when it was winning the darkness would come and blow the light right out.

Time and rest seemed to help but, not for long and soon the things that felt so good were things that drew  no interest to me.

Sometimes

life fights back and you put up your best fight to keep the little bit of control that you have left. 

You know that everyday is unknown to you of what will happen and even though you some what look forward to life some days. 

When you know the possibility of something new happening and today won’t be the same journey you go on as the day before. 

You look forward to the moment when you will completely enjoy every moment of the day and the fight against the things in your life you don’t need to be involved with will soon be done. 

When the fighting is over with and the sun comes out and all is calm you know that the new path has been set and it’s time to prepare for the next journey ahead.

Your

Smile captured my heart every time I see you doing something you love like playing on your guitar on your days off.

Or when you laugh at something that’s funny to you that laugh I could listen to all night if I have too.

There is so much joy and light inside of you that spending time with you always puts me in a good mood.

You tell me to follow my dreams for you see so much potential in me and you know that only over time will I keep growing the gift that I was blessed with.

You smile at me and laugh when I’m being so stubborn and you know that if I just let go and ask for help things would be so much more simpler for me.

You are one lucky person I tell you all the time because you get to know me and you laugh because you know I’m right and yet you just won’t admit it.

For me being right would just grow my already big head.

me play you a song because I heard you were really into music and love original songs.

So here I go to the girl in the front row that stole my heart the moment our eyes meant that night six months ago.

As you song and played your guitar to the song you dedicated to me, I couldn’t stop crying and smiling to the sweet lyric you wrote about me and our love story.

I knew that everything that we had been through was worth working out and that or future was brighter than I thought it could possibly be.

I had so much hope that we would work out because of that day changed me and opened my eyes to a side of you I didn’t know existed.

I fell in love with you more that night and that song became my favorite song of all time and I still play it now and then when you don’t personally sing it to me.

We made it so much farther than maybe we would have if you hadn’t written that song and laid it all out for me that day.

Because, before that night it was so hard to get you to spill how you felt without you closing up and the conversion always ending before I got all my answers from you.

I was

mywords2228

drawn to you but for how long I ask myself today

Your smile and your laugh lights up my face all the time.

The time we have together is always what I look forward too

the most because it’s when I’m not stressed out and  at my highest moment of happiness.

My smile reaches my eyes and these moments make me believe that anything is possible if I just have a little faith and believe it will all work out in the end.

Drawn to you like a magnet that I never want to pull away from.

You

mywords2228

had so much to look forward too and maybe you had it all planned out.

But, the day you prepared to walk across that stage felt like the day you had been waiting for.

You were excited and just extreme ready for this day to hurry up for you were just so ready to get it over with.

Soon it ended and the next day was a new journey for you and one that would go in a direction you never thought it would.

The struggle that became your life was overwhelming and not ending anytime soon.

You tried it all to just keep yourself together during this difficult and dark time, It was long and then the light truly shined down on you and things started to look up for you.

But, you became so busy that the little things in life seem not to be as important to you or you just didn’t have the time to enjoy them.

You wanted so bad to just have a moment of peace because you were tired of it all and no matter the little time you got off the state of your mind and body and soul were already ruined and damaged.

You still try to fix the damage that has been done because you just want to be at peace again and to just feel happy for more than two days at a time.

Daily Prompt: Awkward

mywords2228

There’s always awkward moments in life

that make you want to run and hide.

You hate those moments when it feels there is this awkward silence after greeting someone and you just have nothing to say.

You try to come up with something quick to say for it’s just too quite for you.

No noise to you means something or someone is doing something they are not supposed to be doing.

So you go on high-alert waiting for some type of noise to alert you that you need to head in that direction.

Daily Prompt: Slight

mywords2228

She felt insignificant when it came down to the matter at hand.

She was working hard, maybe harder than she really needed too at this point.

But, even though she wanted so bad to not care about the matter anymore.

Somehow it would end up coming back up and she felt like she had no other option but to stop fighting and walk away.

For even though she felt valuable to the cause, she knew staying wasn’t truly what she needed even if that was what they wanted.

The season for her to move on was coming up and she didn’t want to miss out because she felt slightly bad in the end.

Daily Prompt: Flaunt

mywords2228

As the weather gets nicer more people will want to flaunt their body that they worked so hard on in the winter.

They will want to show off their new clothes as they start to wear less layers and enjoy the sun on their skin.

They will want to be out and about to enjoy the weather and see what is going on around them now that the weather is more enjoyable.

Daily Prompt: Astonish

His actions surprised me with great wonder for he had not acted this way before.

So grumpy and quite rude that you just started to wonder what could have brought now this nasty mood change.

But, the situation to that problem would have to wait as you have so much on your plate to deal with now that you can’t stop and help brighten his mood today.

I know

mywords2228

it’s late but I just needed to get this off my chest.

I miss you and I wish I could talk to you about everything.

But, I can’t seem to be able to find you and I wonder if I ever will.

You will be one of the people who know everything and nothing I say or do will keep you away.

I know that at times it will suck because of our schedules won’t match but I will make time for you.

For you will always be there for me and I will appreciate all the love and time you will have for me.

I wish you would hurry up and come my way for this place feels so lonely lately.

I don’t want to be lost anymore, I just want to be with you and I want to be full again.

I know you are the key to the lock that has been on my heart.

You will be my favorite and you will lift my mood like a good song coming on the radio.

You will be the reason I smile more and the reason I see the light that was so lost to me when the world around me became so dark.

You are my happiness that stays longer than a couple of hours.

You are as much as apart of me as I am apart of you.

I know that you get me like no one else and you don’t worry about time for you know soon it will be unlimited.

You trust me and I trust you and so every move is accepted and respected for we always ask first.

Nothing else will ever seem worth the wait after this moment.

It’s you and me and that is what I’m truly looking forward to.

Daily Prompt: Vague

mywords2228

It was unclear of why he decided that move last night that not only changed his life but hers.

The girl who didn’t expect much but let him in because he was different and there was no one left to let in.

The words that cut her so deep that night, seem to come out of nowhere and the motive and reasons to why he would say and act that way.

Haunted her for days to come, but soon enough he would come back and the things he ruined were clear.

But, as he explained the reasons for why it all went down that way.

She was mad and sad that he did it all because he felt a certain way and decided it was best to not talk it through and just to walk away for fighting wasn’t his thing.

Daily Prompt: Crank

mywords2228

They want to crank up the pressure to try to make you be able to work through the heat even when you shouldn’t be pushed that far.

But, do they care no they do not and so when you end up cranky and not acting like yourself.

What do they have to say nothing because as long as you do what they say they don’t care about your whereabouts.

So cranky is what I am when I think about those people and all that I do, in the end, is it worth it.

I love you

mywords2228

Those words I haven’t heard in so long make them seem like some fairytale your grandparents used to tell you.

Those words spoken by the right person has you feeling like nothing bad could really touch you.

You know that the pain that waits for you some days would all not seem so bad if those words were spoken to you.

But, like a bedtime story as you grow up they are no longer needed to fall asleep and are soon forgotten.

You want more than anything to feel like if you disappeared someone would do all they could to find you.

If only to tell you that they love you just one more time.

You know there are some you used to say this too and now those words just don’t fit in your life anymore.

Like time has made them no longer acceptable in this situation.

You want to say those words so bad but at this moment who would be around to receive them.

Daily Prompt: Rush

mywords2228

I don’t want to rush for I live for these moments when life just slows down for well I’m not in a hurry to go anywhere.

I wish I could be off more for the peace I get from not hearing someone else other than my own voice.

I don’t want to deal with things that are mostly out of my hands but here I am dealing with stuff that happened before I came along.

The stress I could definitely do without as I’m tired of rushing around and just for once would like to not rush and just enjoy these moments for sooner or later these moments will be fewer.

Time seems to be long when you’ve been around for a while but the feeling of not rushing to get somewhere is one of the best moments for me.
