“Some People”
By Flavia Weedn
Some people come into our lives
and quickly go… Some stay for awhile
and embrace our silent dreams.
They help us become aware
of the delicate winds of hope…
and we discover within every human spirit
there are wings yearning to fly.
They help our hearts to see that
the only stairway to the stars
is woven with dreams…
and we find ourselves
unafraid to reach high.
They celebrate the true essence
of who we are…
and have faith in all
that we may become.
Some people awaken us
to new and deeper realizations…
for we gain insight
from the passing whisper of their wisdom
Throughout our lives we are sent
precious souls…
meant to share our journey
however brief or lasting their stay
they remind us why we are here.
To learn… to teach… to nurture… to love
Some people come into our lives
to cast a steady light
upon our path and guide our every step
their shining belief in us
helps us to believe in ourselves.
Some people come into our
lives to teach us about love…
The love that rests within ourselves.
Let us reach out to others
and feel the bliss of giving
for love is far richer in action
that it ever is in words.
Some people come into our lives
and they move our souls to sing
and make our spirits dance.
They help us to see that everything on earth
is part of the incredibility of life…
and that it is always there
for us to take of its joy.
Some people come into our lives
and leave footprints on our hearts
and we are never ever the same.
What a beautiful poem. I like it. Some people aren’t meant to stay in our lives long. Some people just come in and teach us something about ourselves that we didn’t know before, they teach us how to live and grow and love.

You Can’t Run Away Forever

I met a fella from PA last weekend. He told me I was beautiful.
I told him he was wrong. He insisted.
We spent the rest of the night together talking and telling stories about our lives and such. Now we text maybe once a day. But now I’m feeling even lonelier than I was before. He asked me what my biggest fear was after I said I didn’t think I was afraid of death, when my time comes, my time comes. I said it was being alone. Being alone is my biggest fear?! That’s so weird. I think myself to be a relatively independent person.
He also told me that I have a big “Fuck Off” tattoo on my forehead and I’m unapproachable. I was unaware. That makes me sad. I don’t want to be unapproachable, but I don’t know how to change that, or even how I am unapproachable. I asked my friend and he said he doesn’t think I am usually, it just depends on the situation and my level of comfort. But still, if one person thinks I portray myself that way, I’m sure others do too. Now I’m nervous about that.
I have so many song lyrics I would add to this so that someone might actually read it, but none of them really apply to my topic.
I was thinking and I hope that this is a relationship that extends past the weekend we spent together and it seems to be a little, but then I figured that some people just come into our lives to teach us something about ourselves.
And I’ll appreciate the compassion and understanding he had for me and that’s all I can do.

I don’t know why. It felt needed.
I don’t feel better, but I do, in a way.

I love you and that’s the truth.

This is a quote from Catch and Release. I recently watched it and it was amazing. I loved it! You should definitely check it out!
I told them all the great things I know about you and there were a lot. I was up there for a while. I didn’t tell them everything, though. I left out the complicated stuff, like how it took losing you forever for me to truly find you. And how finding you turned me into someone else entirely. That’s not what they came for. People want to hear you were great. Not that were great, but also, sometimes, not so great. They want to know I miss you. Not that while I’ve been missing you, I’ve fallen for someone else. It’s weird, though. I feel like the only one who would understand this is you. In a way, that makes sense. He was the one person you were yourself around. Of course he’d be that same person for me. Anyway, I left all that out and I kept it simple. I told them I loved you and that’s the truth.
I realized that I write here what I would like my Facebook statuses to be just because I can’t do it there. I don’t want him to know what I’m feeling, or anyone for that matter, but mostly him. There’s so much I want to say, but I can’t. And I don’t want to look all emotional and stupid, especially when we’ve been broken up for over a year now.
I can’t make myself hate you, just like I can’t make you love me.
I’ll get it some day. I just hope that some day is soon!

Love is beautiful.
Life is beautiful.
Music is beautiful and amazing and I don’t know where I would be without it.
I’m keeping my head up.

And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
This was not your dream
But you always believed in me

You’re Everything In Between

I’m being dumb again. This is how I’m feeling right now.
Over You By: Matt Wertz
It’s been 10 months since July 7
You closed the door, I left it open
Holding out for what might be someday
So you lingered, I took you with me
Throught the country, every city
Thinking I’d be better off this way
I don’t wanna get over you
I’ve tried it 1000 times
It don’t matter what I do
So bittersweet I still remember
Every part of your phone number
Tempted, you’re just 10 digits away
I’ve gotta tell you, go down firing
Leave the darkness, cease the striving
Knowing that I’ll never be the same
I guess I don’t wanna get over you
I’ve tried it 1000 times
It don’t matter what I do
It’s too hard to let you go
All the spaces you still roam
You’re everything in between
I don’t wanna get over you
I’ve tried it 1000 times
It don’t matter what I do
I’m pretty much in love with any musician named Matt.. hopefully I won’t marry a Matt though, unless it’s Matt Nathanson or a replica of Matt Nathanson (with the same name), because I really do not enjoy the name Matt. lol.
