Seven years. That’s how long we shared a life together. Seven years of sharing meals. Seven years of telling each other our deepest secrets and desires. And seven years of sharing a bed, sleeping as close as we could to one another as we drifted off to sleep in each other’s safety. But that was gone now.
The meals together had become more infrequent. We no longer shared each other’s hopes and dre...
Once I saw her leaving my porch, I knew it would be the last time. I don’t remember why but what I remember is that she didn’t only leave me. She left everyone. Sometimes life is just cruelly unfair. Why her? Why did she have to die? And not the idiot of truck driver who crashed her? At least she doesn’t have to face her friends and parents every day, looking at you like a little child because the...
Another day passes, getting closer and closer to take off. Stomach turning, mind racing. Excited to see what was once my everyday but lost in the fact I have to leave someone so important. Why are goodbyes so tough, even with knowledge that you’ll be back, the closer it gets the worst you feel. The majority of your life without em and yet, you can’t even remember a time when they weren’t there. It...
I don’t know what to do. Should I stay or should I go? I’m just trying to figure it out all own my own. And it’s okay to learn on my own because how else would I. I don’t have the power to change my knowledge by not learning and doing and achieving my goals. That’s how everyone should figure things out for themselves. Not just by watching but also by doing. It’s so empowering to have a good under...
In the golden glow of dawn’s embrace,
Where laughter danced like sunlight on the lake,
I wander through the garden of our days,
Each petal a memory, each smile a breath I take.
We traced the stars in midnight’s tender sigh,
With whispered dreams woven in the tangles of our hair,
Your hand in mine, we painted the skies,
Building castles in the air, floating without a care.
Oh, the...
I don’t understand how it still creeps upon me, not thought of and unrealized. Until I’m face to face with it but I don’t know if I’m the only one who has spotted it, and I don’t want to make a scene or it will afflict everyone. I do my best to ignore it, knowing this is an un-winnable battle of resistance. Then as I drive down a desert highway away from everyone who has loved, hated, hurt, and he...
We are beings that love so much but cares so little, how many times have we fallen in love and forget about ourselves because of someone else becomes priority, and that other side doesn’t even feel the same about us.
How can we forget ourselves when it comes to love someone else, isn’t our priority to love ourselves first and then love others, but we choose to love others first instead of ourselv...
I noticed the way he looked at me. I always liked the way he made me feel like the only person in the world, even with a single glance. This time was different, there was something else hidden away behind his eyes, something deeper. It was almost like when I looked at him I was looking into a foggy damp forest, the air thick and wet, clouded over by a sense of misdirection. I didn't want to leave ...
