You left unspoken, a breath in the breeze.

Speaking new languages such as Español.

Anticipating the years to pass, for you to become one of the returnees.

My heart unlocked, buried the keys.

Trying to stay within control.

When waiting for your hugs, your gentle squeeze.

For it all to come rushing back with ease.

To once again be made whole.

Days missing you are the hardest, Days like the...

How can three little words mean so much?

It’s the way I feel safe wrapped up in your arms.

Protected away from harm.

It’s the way you gently speak.

Or wipe away my tears from my cheek.

How is it that you mean everything?

It’s the way all my walls come down.

Laughing on dates out on the town.

It’s the way that you give me everything.

How you would Jokingly sing.

How is it that I was you...

Why do roses have thorns?

And I get pricked every time we say goodbye.

To one last hug.

To one last shake of the hand.

To one last glance.

Why does my heart break?

And I shatter at even the happy memories.

Let go of him.

Let go of his smile.

Let go of having him everyday in my life.

Can I just have one more day?

To rewind time or maybe fast forward to tomorrow.

He’s gone.

He’s gone fr...

In the Last glimpses of Light.

Laughter is Lost in the Lessons taught by Life.

A Longing for the scent of Lemons and Lavender.

A Longing for a Loving home.

Filled with sweet Little Lullabies sung.

Under the Lamps when sitting on your Lap.

And Letters written with Love.

How Lucky that must be?

When Lace curtains Loosly hung.

And I dreamt of Lands of butterflies and Ladybugs.

My Lens blur...

Driving down the Interstate

In Life I have always been Late

Fingers Crossed, wishing on the number 8

I don’t know where I should go.

Watching everyone succeed

My heart left in this gut wrenching greed.

I can’t catch up to their speed.

Everything for me has felt so slow.

When will it be my time?

To reach the top of my Climb?

To hear a joyous chime.

That I will be saved from this overflo...

I don’t know how to say goodbye,

How to let go….

Of your dimples that you can’t seem to hide when you look at me.

Or those brown eyes turned golden in the sunlight.

I can’t let go…

Of how tightly yet softly you would hold on to me.

Or the way you would tell me I’m the prettiest girl in the world.

I can’t let go…

Of the way you’ve always comforted me.

Or made me so happy each and every d...

A little girl

Becomes a young lady;

Curiosity lost and,

Dreading each new horizon.

Eager to be somebody else.

Fragmented between decisions

Grafting on to one last;

Hope.

I suppose she has to learn to let go.

Just to “go about”.

Knocking on the door of lost time;

Late for her own tea party,

Mourning that stuffed animal that’s no longer hers.

Not even she could forget.

Observant of how ...

Drowning In the rivers of change.

Not knowing where I will be washed away.

Life has lately been so strange.

18 is such an unpredictable age.

Plans for the future starting to fray.

Trapped in old patterns, stuck in a cage.

I don’t know how to flip the page.

Everyone leaving, no one left to stay.

Learning how to rearrange.

Forgetting how to engage.

The only color I see is gray.

Emoti...

There’s one thing that I learned about love.

It isn’t about the fear of losing them.

It’s the fear that they won’t be happy in their life.

I learned that I loved you.

The moment I wanted you to be happy.

Even if that wouldn’t be with me....

You held me in your arms.

Silently.

But The silence speaks more than words

Neither of us wanting to let go;

Defiantly.

Your calming breaths.

Setting all my nerves at bay;

Entirely.

I never needed anyone more than you.

Mixed emotions;

Smilingly.

Losing this.

Losing us is what;

Frightens me.

So I’ll wait as long as it takes.

Hold on to this moment;

Patiently....
