So many

Looking for something special.

And how nice that would be for them to get what they need.

But their wants and needs are not the same as yours.

So why do they want to lead you down the same path they have traveled on.

Just to be disappointed and hopeless.

So you didn’t go and the looks of confusion and frustration was all around.

But in the end it’s your story to tell and you who will go through many emotions.

But only when you are ready and it feels right to step out and make a move.

It’s true we don’t get along

Like day and night.

We’re so different

It hurts sometimes to see you doing so much more without me.

I’ve tried to reconnect but you push me away every time.

Saying what happened in the past is forgiven

But the future is not clear and it would be best if we live apart.

For we all just want a little peace around here.

I had

to go before the sunrise

Because I knew that if I stayed

And we talked about it than I would never leave.

And I needed to leave

for I’ve been stuck here for so long.

And I have allowed you to keep me here

for I was afraid to go on my own.

Even though I knew you would not ever

come with me.

So I stayed to be with you.

But now my dreams are calling me forward and it’s time to live for me.

I hope you will forgive me one day.

This is

Not the time to hide

But the time to shine

And if you got a problem with that

Then you never knew how good you had it.

For I head away because I thought and felt I wasn’t worthy.

But I’m here to say now that I matter and I see just how much I do.

Now that you are gone.

You and I

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.

I came

Back to our spot on the beach in hopes, you would show up.

I even wore the lights you gave me last Christmas.

I was hoping they would help you find your way back to me.

everything that was planned.

Before all this is a nice set of memories to look back on.

But now I stand here waiting to see your face.

To be able to enjoy the nice weather with you.

For it has been so long since I’ve seen you in person.

Facetime has been nice but it isn’t the same as sharing the same air and I miss your touch.

Oh how

You are always on my mind and always in my heart.

You are my guide through this all.

And lately I haven’t been my best and yet you have stayed by my side.

For you are my God and through it all I truly know I can overcome it all.

Especially when I am a mess and nothing seems to make sense but when I let go.

And wake up the next day you always deliver just what I need.

And for that I am so grateful and I know through the struggles.

You will be there and I accept the hard times because when it’s easy it always feels like something missing.

The struggle make somethings so clear and true.

And for that I am thankful and light right now as nothing holds me back.

In this

World there are many pieces of me floating around.

Left behind as I travel to and from these places.

I know that one day they will all come back to me or found by others and change them for the better.

I stand here now letting go all that I cannot control and letting in more light.

Being kind and accepting what is to come my way.

For I don’t want to overthink it anymore for that causing more pain then it needs too.

Whatever happens I am okay with the outcome now.

As I open myself up to so many possibilities.

To think

You would leave me all alone

But then you flew back into my life with no notice.

And together we fought through my toughest days.

And made my good moments great

With no regrets as we took this new path towards better things and ways.

We didn’t need to look back for we knew what was ahead was the only option we needed.

For we survived and would get through the rest in no time.

I can’t

Help myself and so I reach out to touch you.

Even if this the last chance I will get and so I go for it.

And now it’s all I think about as we are apart and my mind is driving me crazy.

For you’ve always been kind and sweet and always brought a smile to my face.

And things we’re always going great for you were the positive energy I needed around.

But, now your like an unicorn you see it once and then it’s hard to find again or it was well never real to begin with.

Three Line Tales, Week 226

photo by Raúl Nájera via Unsplash

Enter my life for well it can be dangerous as the path you will journey on will not be simple or even complete

Lots of holes and bumps will greet you every day you go and even when it all seems smooth and wonderful

something will pop out at you and all the balance and understanding of this life will be gone and never seen again.

Three Line Tales, Week 225

photo by Nathan Dumlao via Unsplash

Legos we sometimes wish to rebuild our lives back up.

Especially when they have fallen and seem Impossible to improve and live on without bringing up the past.

We just want to live without the baggage that weights us down and makes us feel useless and damaged.

I’ve fought

mywords2228

It all and now when I want to stay.

You push me away

And the urge to run away is so strong.

But somehow I am still here but the long days are taking a toll on me.

I don’t know if I can push through this, this time because it’s not as easy as it was before.

Maybe I’ve fought to hard last time that my body just doesn’t know how to regain the strength I need.

And so I sit here staring out this window and wondering what now.

My heart

Wants you to come back around.

Even if it’s just to say a simple hello and a five minute catch up.

But as time passes by it begins to miss you and the hope of there being a moment of connection is slowly going down the drain.

I know that hope alone won’t get me through this.

And knowing I won’t make the same mistakes as I’ve made before helps too.

But that doesn’t help me to stop feeling this way about you.

As minutes turn into hours and days come and go and I reach out but nothing coming back.

It goes from sunrise to sunset and then light to darkness and the mind is so tired that it can’t think anymore as I call it a night for now.

Things

feel light like a feather lately with no real direction as we all float through the moment.

Trying to find a way to make things feel whole again

and not like everything is crashing down around us because we can’t control this.

But, I’ve realize floating around light as a feather makes you see the lighter things in life especially right now when everything is serious.
