to remember me
what have I taught you
if not only to fear love?
you never told me,
and so I don't know.
But I don't want to be protected from you, and I think that's the obvious thing you have yet to grasp.
Left with a sense of emptiness
because of this
but the fault is my own.
Maybe if I would have given you a little more time.....
So much I've said and haven't said
still so much to say.
It's as if you don't understand
or believe
or maybe you just don't care.
I knew you.
Now I feel as though I'm being forced to forget.
But every memory of you still holds a prominent place inside
that I would only let go of
if you really wanted me to.
Anything for you.
-------------------------------------
I see you.
I don't think you know I do.
You're a puzzle that my brain has put together out of sheer curiousity
moments and experiences
words and conversations
all the sudden make sense.
You seemed untouchable to me
someone so high above the ground
and part of me still believes that....but part of me knows better.
Don't you know why you cling to what you do?
you're afraid like I'm afraid and like we're all afraid
to give up not only what we're used to, but the things that keep us where we are.
Keep us from trying.
Keep us from failing.
These outside influences we blame our problems on are really the problems themselves.
But change comes from the inside out.
You control your life.
Everything that happens to you, you CHOOSE how you deal with it.
YOU...someone I still think is so amazing and intelligent
Just as dumb as the rest of us when it comes to comfort zones.
FOCUS-there are things in your life you know you can expand on to better yourself.
