Then and now....

I want to go back to the time....
When "getting high" meant "on a swing"
When "drinking" meant "apple juice"
When "dad" was the only "hero"
When "love" was "mom's hug"
When "dad's shoulder" was "the highest place on earth"
When "your worst enemies" were "your siblings"
When the only thing that could "hurt" were "skinned knees"
When the only things "broken" were your "toys"
And when "goodbyes" meant "only till tomorrow"....

The walk...

They walked together for the first time,
Shy and hesitant
She quietly took his hand in hers
He smiled at her, she blushed back
He talked about his dreams
She, of her hope to find a soulmate
They shared their past and their future
The start of something new...

Months passed by blissfully
She grew stronger with his affection
It was what she had waited for all her life
He transformed into a better person
He wanted to give her all that he could
Even a moment away seemed so difficult
People looked at them and smiled
They seemed so together and meant to be
The start of something bigger….

Now all that seems so far away
She grew tired of his insensitivity
He was frustrated at her tears
Where have the good old days gone?
They still walk together sometimes
He ahead of her, hands in his pockets
She silently hugging herself
Waiting for someone to come and hold her again
The start of something better….

You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget....

Mama's in the kitchen, baby and all

Everything is everything

Everything is everything

But you're missing…"

I was lost and lonely
You came into my life like the sweet sunshine of winter
I had forgotten to smile, to love, to trust
You gave me hope, showed me that things are not as bad as they seem...
I needed no one when I was with you
You filled my life with all the missing pieces
I felt as pure as 24 carat gold in your arms....
Seasons changed and so did we
I still long for the comfort of your unconditional love
Why did time change you so much that you no longer call me as your own?
