Fake the Smile to Play the Part

-
Everything I have ever dreamed of is in this moment of turmoil, he won't even see me for who I am because his mind is clouded by his wants. He won't fall for me because he knows better and yet I fall for him like a rose drizzled in a bit of water, growing until it finally flourishes. Yet, the ability to let him go is heart-wrenching. I look into his eyes and everything I love about him comes back with much force and I couldn't help myself but to gaze into his eyes long enough until I react. This love can't be and it will never be. He seems as though he loves me yet his actions speak louder than words. 
He begins to place his hand to my cheek and in a circular motion, he rubs it. Making me fall to my knees, my heart melts in his hand and yes I am okay with it. I made myself believe that I was although I knew deep down nothing would change. He looks into my eyes and in his hazel eyes I can see my reflection, reminding me how much he means to me. Everyday time is passing by, every breath of fresh of air I begin to get older and I try to convince myself that someone better will come along but that just seems hopeless.
"You make me so happy." He says as he continues to rub my cheek with his thumb.
"You need to stop." I say, growing weary with his words, his beautiful words.
"Why?"
"Because you cause me pain."
"I thought I made you happy. You smile every time you see me."
"Yes. I fake the part. I make you believe you have me in your hands."
"Why would you do that?"
"All this time you have been playing with the emotions I feel toward you and I am tired of it. I wish I could forget you but in order to do that. I must not see you or speak with you."
"Rose... I don't understand. You know I love you right?"
"I am not sure of anything." I say as I pull my eyes away from his so he wouldn't see my tears build up.
"You must know how I feel about you." He reaches for my hand and I swiftly move it out of his reach.
"I don't because I have come to terms with that you aren't telling me the truth. You are not fully allowing yourself to realize that you love me Derek." I hold my tears back so he wouldn't see me so vulnerable. My heart begins to burn in my chest.
"Yes I am. I love you." He says as he pulls my face to look into his teary eyes. I try to retreat but I couldn't. I love him.
"Maybe that isn't enough." I say softly, my tears began flowing down my cheek and I couldn't help myself  but to sob within his arms. I allow him to be my company because he was all I ever needed but I couldn't have him. The mind and heart feud with each other. I conform to the mind while my heart aches in pain.

Those Three Words

-
This moment time is where I hold on to the most. I feel the wind against my rosy cheek and many times people stare at me as if I was a freak. I wonder about the times of the chemical reaction. I breathe in and out as I close my eyes. His image comes to mind... His beautiful smile radiates much sunlight and I can't help but to think of a way to feel his embrace. The sound of his voice relaxes me so I won't faint. All I could think about, if this was fate. I open my eyes and there he is. Holding his breath as I see the beauty that is him. No wonder I feel like a fool. His blue eyes sparkle in the sunlight as I touch the palm of my hand to his cheek. His eyes close as I lean my forehead upon his and I feel protected yet so happy. Then he says those three words I'd been waiting for... "I love you." As I heard those words role off his tongue. I couldn't help but to smile like an idiot. The thought of him is so love driven that I can't see my life without him

Our World... Your World... My World

-
The world can be cold, dark and dangerous but it also could be warm, bright and welcoming. It's how we see our world and it's how we want our world to be. As people we get caught up in every day routines that we don't realize how beautiful the world is. The nature that surrounds us is breath-taking and we take our world for granted. Go ahead and trash it... Let your world be dark and dirty, but I want my world to be clean and brighter everyday when I awake. I see the world as a gift and everyday we are living is a challenge. How could we make the world a better place? How could we protect ourselves from harm without damaging the world of others? How do we become better? When I look up at the sky... I am reminded of him. It reminds me of the beauty of his smile, his amazing laugh that sings with the birds, and the sun radiating light upon his eyes, making them sparkle under the horizon. My world is you and everyone around me. Most importantly it reminds of my GOD whom I

Some Day You'll Stay

-
Everyday gets harder as we cross the finish line, When will our hopes and dreams align? You make it seem so easy, At times I get so queasy. When I think about those times I am alone, You were all I've known, I pick up the phone, I put it back down, questioning myself, If only I could leave all my memories on a shelf. So if I looked in your eyes, I wouldn't fall, At this moment, time could be such a stall, If only I could get lost in your eyes once again, Waiting for you is like waiting for it to rain, You come every once in a while. Everything about you disappears along with your smile, I miss you when the days get longer, Just by hearing your voice makes me stronger, Even though you're far away, I pray to God that some day you'll stay.
