Only Exist In Love

-
Things are different now.
I'm happy and feel beautiful.
I'm loved and protected.
I laugh more than I cry.

Things are different now.
My heart is in a safe place.
My eyes are seeing the world.
My ears can hear his voice.

Things are better now.
There's no more weight
Hanging over my shoulders.
There's no more pain.

Things are better now.
I don't find myself 
Crawled up in a ball--
Crying the night away

As you close your eyes
And rest for the night.
You look happy.
And I'm happy for you.

We weren't good together.
We weren't meant for each other.
We got caught up in the familiarity
Of our childhood...

Warm kisses and safe touches.
You sucked me into your sadness.
Making me believe that I didn't
Deserve any better than what I was given.

Things are brighter now.
The sun is kissing my skin.
Love is embracing me with warmth.
Laughter is surrounding me with safety.

Things are brighter now.
He wakes up everyday,
Tells me he loves me.
And I fall more in love with him--

By his actions and by his warmth.
I don't have to beg for him to look at me,
To notice me in the darkness. 
He reminds me that I'm the light.

He looks into my eyes in a way
You never could and everyday
I'm reminded that I deserve him.
That he deserves me.

So yes, things are different now.
No stress, no worries, and no empty promises.
Just beauty and joy that can only exist in love.
Our love--that continues to bloom, every single day.

I am so happy that you're happy.
I can see the light lit inside your heart.
What a beautiful moment to witness.
What a wonderful moment to feel okay.

And so things are different--a good different now.
But you'll live forever in my memory, here's to us.

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

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.

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
