I thought I saw his car behind me while I was running. It slowed down and I kept walking. It made my mind stop and makes me think I'm afraid of loving again.

Someone told me that it's not about forgetting, it's about choosing to be happy or hurt:)

Sometimes life chews you up to spit you out, brand spanking new.

Today I found out I am in love with life and all its endless possibilities. Someday I'm going to reach the ends of Egypt and wade my feet in the Nile.
The pages of this calender drift
in and out of memory.
The soft paper flips casually from
one week to the next then
all of a Sudden
one month is gone,
the days synchronized and squished
into neat little boxes and numbers.
Like that,
time pushes relentlessly forward
the ebb and flow of us
forgotten in the names of passing seasons.
The only thing you can do
is feel the moist earth with your bare feet
to remember that for the moment
you are grounded.

I fell asleep while watching t.v
The static colors played against
the back of my eyelids.
Dull neon greens and yellows
flashed dully, etching
themselves into my memory.
I absorbed everything.
The garish chatter of cartoons
pressing demands of infomercials
soft whispers of soap operas
hurried voices of newscasters

And then,
our story played
our very own sitcom on the airwaves
we laughed,
we fought,
we cried,
we loved,
and then all of a sudden
It ended.
A to be continued...
stoic on the screen.

But by then I had woken up
Because
real life is so much better
Then the static color and noise
and the tentative be continues.
I don't have to wait for the next episode
because real life is so much better.
I'm trying hard to understand this world we're living in
I used to think it was possible to
Fall in and out of love so easily
That heartbreak was beautiful and the messy aftermath
was Thrilling
But who am I kidding
All I want is love.

I want to feel the way you feel in the morning
Like you just got off the first train heading north
And there's a heavy dose of sunlight
Pouring like rain and
Everything is perfect in that moment
When the sky is brilliant blue and
Suddenly you're not so alone
because you realize
You're finally home.
