Writing makes me feel alive. Words heal me.

I’m Not Sure About A Lot Of Things But I’m Sure About You

I’m not sure about what the future holds for me but I’m sure I want you in it. I know I want to spend my next birthday with you, I want to take you home for Christmas, I want to plan my vacation days with you and I want to wake up next to you every morning.

I Wish I Was A Train Because Trains Don’t Wait For People

A train doesn’t wait for late passengers or passengers who are not sure where they’re going. They only let passengers in who are on board, who booked a ticket, who know they have to be on that train to get to their destination. A train doesn’t make excuses for confused or hesitant passengers; a train doesn’t care about those who can’t make up their minds.

One Day I’m Going To Sleep Better And You Will Stay Up Thinking About Me

One day I’m going to rest my head on the pillow and sleep right away. But you will rest your head on the pillow and start missing me. You will start to miss my smile when you try to look for something that looks like it, you will miss my eyes when you can’t find someone else who looks at you the way I did, you will miss my touch when no one else wants to hold you when you’re tired.

I Gambled On You But I Lost All My Stakes

I gambled on your strength. Your physical, mental and emotional strength. I thought you’d pick me up whenever I fall; you said you’d pick me up whenever I fall. I thought you would lift me up as easily as you lift these heavy weights but I should’ve known that you already have enough weight to carry, that you can’t carry both your baggage and mine, that my baggage was too heavy for you.

I’m Slowly Learning To Just Let Things Be

I’m learning to let love find me. I’m learning to stop decoding messages and mixed signals and signs and wait for the clear message, the message that is so obvious and easy to understand, the message that doesn’t make you question or second guess anything and the message that you’re truly waiting for.
