It was dark so much sooner now that daylight saving had ended and I just needed to keep on moving if I wanted to get home soon and out of the dark black night.
All around me the shadows played and everything seemed to echo as I quicken my steps to get home as fast as my little short legs could take me.
I knew I shouldn’t have stayed out so late but I was having so much fun that I just hadn’t stop to think about how dark it would be out tonight.
As I rounded the corner to my house, I didn’t see the lights coming toward me until it was too late.
Or at least I thought it was too late but, out of nowhere he grabbed me back just as a crazy driver turned the corner and kept on speeding down the ride with no care in the world.
He asked if I was okay and I said yes and he walked me cross the street and told me to be more careful next time for people around here don’t care if it’s a residential neighborhood.
Speeding is in their blood and it at least once or more someone gets hit and it’s always because someone is being careless and speeding to get home or to work.
He walked away and soon he had disappeared into the night as I ran the rest of the way home and didn’t stop until I made up to my door and was safe inside.
I’ll never forget that day for if I do It feels like I’m being ungrateful for if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be here now living the dream life I have always wanted.
The noise was so loud that she didn’t enjoy it but she was thrilled to be here
for she knew she wouldn’t get a chance like this again.
She enjoyed the show but wished it was quieter for the noise really made her have a headache.
And made her drive home so unpleasant but that night she would remember for quite a while and would share it with anyone who would sit down and listen.
falls on her life and the noises that light up her life
were nowhere to be found.
Her once colorful life was now nothing but dark grays and black
everything she saw now just seemed so lifeless and hopeless and a dead-end.
Nothing was going to break through the cracks of this new darkness and she didn’t want it to either.
She simply just gave up for the fight had been too much for her and now it was time to just let go and let the storm carry through it out and wherever she may land would be where she was meant to be.
The hope and light that used to be inside her just was gone on and in this life there just didn’t seem like it was possible for her get it back anytime soon.
Days turn into weeks and nothing seemed to be improving for her and those who tried to help lift her up were slightly giving up hope and were about to just accept this was who she had become and they just needed to accept it and love her even more now.
There is so much going on in the world that there is no way not to care about what would happen to other people.
Even though we may not know them, our hearts are still hoping that they are okay and we try to do all that we can do to help.
We may have to go on with our lives but there isn’t a moment that you don’t know what is going on and how it’s truly sad to see them going through so much.
To be caring for a complete stranger may just be apart of one’s life and it isn’t hard to just feel for them for a moment.
I know for me that my smile may just brighten someone’s day and I’m happy to be there to do that.
And to pray for those that are sick even though I don’t really know them and just try to be caring for everyone deserves a moment of kindness.
For that moment may just change their day or week.
to say I had a reason for walking away from you that day
and that reason is the reason I’m so happy as I am today.
I am at peace and I know my worth and my hope is that I am
as strong as I was that day, because I have so much more to face today than I had back then.
The reason wouldn’t matter to you for you saw it as a weakness at the time for walking away from you was like ending a career right when things were getting good.
But, in reality it was more like deciding that money isn’t more important than taking care of myself.
For you can’t be good at what you love to do if your mind and heart are not in the right place.
There are things we want to learn even past the years of high school or college.
Each path we take someone educates us on the real world out there that goes beyond math equations.
And complete sentences and everything you can possibly learn while in school.
You want to learn different languages and see new places and just truly be in a place of beauty.
You want to go beyond the walls that taught you something and maybe shaped you into the person you are now.
There was maybe one or two people that believed in you and told you that you could go far and maybe you did or maybe you didn’t.
But, at the end of the day there is a memory or two that you look back at and it gives you hope that you can still learn something new now that can help you go farther in your life.
Like a magnet I was drawn to you the moment you smiled at me
Your smile was so bright and welcoming I just couldn’t look away.
And the way your eyes would always seem to light up when ever I came into a room
it was clear then that you were equally drawn to me as well.
Your laugh always seem to brighten up a room the minute it leaves your mouth
Your hugs were the best parts of my day, you always smelled like the fresh air from the mountains.
A little bit like wood and pinecones it was always refreshing to be around you.
You always liked to share the stories of your life and when you tell a story it would always draw in anyone that happened to be near.
We would all listen so closely and the story were always funny and entertaining to hear.
It was like we were destined to be together nothing seemed likely to pull us apart since that day long ago when you smiled at me.
Like that day every day spent with you seems like the first time we met refreshing and adventure just waiting for me to explore even if it takes a lifetime to learn everything about you.
