Daily Prompt: Almost

mywords2228

It almost time to celebrate a new year with the ones you love and to look back on all that you have done in 2017.

To all the hard work that you put in at work and in every part of your life.

You begin to think about the things you got to do and see and how grateful your god blessed you with so many things this year.

That you can not look back with out smiling and enjoying the time that is all yours, you want to sleep in and be ready for tonight as the fun starts and the it doesn’t end until after the ball drops and you are now in a new year.

So many things you have almost got down but didn’t seem to have the time to do tit.

Daily Prompt: Extravagant

mywords2228

As the Holiday comes to a close and the new year approaches, some will go all out on their New year eve parties.

They will have nothing but the best food and drinks and snacks to eat and nibble on until it’s time for the ball to drop.

And the new year has arrived, will they be ready for what is to come or will they be blown away.

Will they go all out all throughout the year to celebrate a new journey they will be embracing or will they run away from the changes that may be coming their way.

Daily Prompt: Confess

mywords2228

I want to confess everything that I’ve been dying to tell you the last couple of days

but, you are nowhere to be found.

I’ve looked for you high and low and no result or clue was left for me to find and I start to wonder if you were avoiding me.

I know that my confession will be a big one and it will take time for you to really let it sink in.

I know the time we will have together will be sweet and calm and once it is all out there is no going back.

It didn’t know that you had something to tell me too and you were just so nervous that you had to take a couple of days to get yourself together.

Once we came together and told each other what was on our chest we both were relieved and from there things started to truly look up for us together and as individuals.

Daily Prompt: Torn

mywords2228

I felt so torn between all the things I wanted to do this holiday and all the things I needed to do.

Everyone was coming soon and I knew just how crazy it would get.

I know I needed to take some time for myself because soon my amount of space for myself would be limited.

The the time for joy was near and I couldn’t wait to share it with the people I love.

I just hope the things I didn’t get done or get to do would eat me up alive.

What tore us

mywords2228

apart doesn’t seem to matter anymore as I’m drawn to you tonight.

You smile and I smile and all the things that hurt me and that hurt you are all in the past and now that time has healed those wounds.

Maybe now we can start something new and get to know each other all over again as we have both grown over the years.

Were not the kids we used to be and now talking just seems so much easier and we laugh about the things in the past that seemed like a big deal at the time.

You lean on me as I lean on you and we both realize that there was so much we had been missing out on in each other life. 

We both felt like we needed more out of the life we had and just needed someone new to help us push past the borders in our life. 

And move into a new space and see what life takes us outside of the box we had grown so comfortable in. 

You became so much more than I thought was possible in my life and everyday I made sure I spent time with you and didn’t want to take you for granted again. 

For I didn’t know if this would be my last chance with you but, I hoped that we would build a strong enough bridge to hold us together and that we would not ever have to worry about not being in each other lives. 

We made plans and follow through with them and we made sure we didn’t get lost in each other. 

But, that we helped each other reach a goal each day or week because we didn’t want to resent one another and we wanted to be the best at what we loved and to know that the fire that burns in both of us is still going strong. 

I believe in you and you believe in me and at the end of the day we will always have each others back until the day we die.

The beautiful purple sky reminded me of your beauty and I just couldn’t get you out my mind after taking multiply shots of the sky that day.

I have not ever seen the sky so purple it felt like a once in a lifetime thing and I just couldn’t believe I was lucky enough to witness it.

It was like the day I met you and we talked for hours and hours until we both realized we had to get some sleep and go home, I never forgot you even though you blew me off after that. I will always keep that memory with me of that night.

I’m Hiding

mywords2228

because the words I know you about to say just aren’t what I want to hear right now  and so I have to go before you can finish saying it all to me.

You call and I ignore out of fear that the words that will be said won’t be so joyful this time of year.

And I just can’t bear not being in a good mood right now, so please just let me be right now and if what you have to say is not nice or good.

Can’t you just wait to say them because I just don’t want to deal with them right now, I want to stay on my hill of happiness.

I don’t want to slide down and be at the bottom and hear the cruel words pour out of your mouth after such a long day.

But, I know that I can’t hide forever and I need to listen to what you have to say so that I can accept it and move on.

Talking to you

mywords2228

always is worth the wait, I know we don’t talk as much anymore and I don’t know how you feel about that. 

But, life is throwing so much at both of us that the time when we could probably talk just doesn’t happen for we both end up just being too tired. 

So days have gone by and maybe even weeks and months and then one day it just seems like a good time to say hi and it always never seems like time has gone by. 

We just pick up where we left off and talk and talk until we have nothing left to say until next time when ever that may be. 

Time doesn’t really stop me from not caring and the feeling of not being there for you always doesn’t sit right with me but, I know that life is pulling us both in two different directions. 

SO it’s hard to but the certain that when something big happens you are always the first to know and even over tired you always seems to make just a little bit of time seem like hours. 

The memories and the moments yet to come are the things that I look forward too as this year comes to an end and a new one is yet to begin.

It’s that time of year

mywords2228

where secrets are being kept and everyone around you is trying to figure out what they got for Christmas. 

Little kids are writing letters to Santa and hoping they get what their little heart desires and the joy is all around and you can’t seem to stop smiling about everything you see. 

From Christmas lights to families going out to do their Christmas tree shopping and other family traditions. 

Everyone is in such a good mood rather it’s about what they have still to look forward too or the time they have off to send with their family and friends. 

This time of year can bring out so much joy and memories and even some sadness but we always seem to come together and help out one another for the kindness and caring heart is really stepping up. 

Days seem longer but there always seems like there are more joyful moments to experience. 

You walk away with a smile on your face and you are grateful for the small things that happened throughout your day.

Daily Prompt: Silent

mywords2228

So silent this night was as I sat down to read a good book

hours went by and I didn’t even notice and the story sucked me in and then

I was at the end.

I wanted more but the next book wasn’t coming out soon enough and my mind was now full of such an amazing story and I just couldn’t stop thinking about how well written it was.

I move on to a new book but every now and then I check back to see if the next book is out.

Silent moments are hard to come by but when they come it’s as peaceful as a good night sleep.

Daily Prompt: Meager

mywords2228

Even though it seemed to be the most wonderful time of the year from some 

the countdown to the Christmas wasn’t really something she worried about for it just another big and wonderful day for everyone else. 

But, for her this time of year was slowly miserable and no joy really came her way 

it always seemed just when her luck would go up something bad would happen and the hope that started to grow inside of her.

Quickly burned out and there was nothing left to see or feel, with no one around to help her find her way back to that hope. 

She didn’t look at the world the way she used too and everyone around her was too busy trying to hold on to the hope they had that they didn’t even notice the difference in her.

I’m not sure what that is coming towards me but, I can’t seem to run away right now even if I feel that would be the best thing to do.

I want to be brave  and stand my guard but, I feel like the outcome of this moment may not be a good thing for me.

But, if I don’t take the risk I may not ever know the outcome so here goes nothing, I just hope I come out of this alive.

100 Word Wednesday: Week 49

I never thought this day would come as I packed my bags and headed to the airport to catch my flight home for the holidays.

I knew that after a long week at work that I would need this trip so bad and this drink definitely was the icing on the cake.

By the time I get there I will be so relaxed and ready to have a good time and just be around people who make me feel at home even if it’s just for a couple of days.

Daily Prompt: Theory

mywords2228

Sometimes our theories of stuff don’t come true or turn out the way we thought it would.

And, sometimes being the person to admit that we were wrong just doesn’t happen and do we feel quilt about it maybe not.

But, I wish you would just start with the truth and move on to what has to be done for right now the situation isn’t getting any better.

And, the way you are acting is making somethings be more likely to not take the time to test it out and make sure the problem whether big or small you will get through it.

Daily Prompt: Elegance

mywords2228

Your elegant dress really made it hard to forget what you wore that night

the color was so bright and yet such a nice dark blue it really brought out your eyes.

You were so confident and for  the first time I saw you for who you were, a girl who just wanted to be seen and finally you were.

But, you decided long time ago that others opinions about you didn’t matter anymore and you were no longer that little girl.

You grew up and you became more than you thought you could be and for all the moments that you were torn down you now know it was worth the struggle.

So elegant you became from the rough and tough little girl.
