I watch the letter I wrote him burn.
The flames engulfing the words.
I can feel the heat of the burning paper,
the orange reflecting in my eyes.
I drop the paper,
letting him go.
The water of the lake washing away not only the flames,
but the hurt he caused me.
A tear falls down my cheek as I smile.
Letting go of the person who hurt me.
The world he existed in began to burn with the letter.

love to me isn't lust.
It's the sparkle in someones eyes as their lover laughs
or the smile that lights up a room
Love is the laughter shared
and the memories made.
It's the quiet between loud moments.
Love is the peace people give each other.
Love is what holds us together
and pulls us apart.
Love to me is what makes everyone themselves.

I hear the wind chimes softly clinging together as a breeze blows through the yard.I run around giggling and laughing.Enjoying the soft noise of a summer evening,waiting for my mom to call us in for dinner.A grin never leaves my face.The bounce of the trampoline echos with the wind chimes.Our giggles mixing with it.I hear my mom call for dinner.We run inside laughing with our frizzy hair.The sounds of our bare feet running across the house seems louder then our giggles.We beg for a few more minutes outside.We eat dinner and immediately run back out.I feel the grass between my toes as I run around.The laughter infectious.We play games till after dark not wanting to stop.Finally as we go back inside and the crickets begin to chirp,I hear the wind chimes blowing in the breeze.The soft noise feels soothing.As I settle into bed I open my window wanting to hear the noise outside as I sleep.Almost like a lullaby the wind chimes soothe me to sleep.Now as summer gets closer I get more and more excited to hear the wind chimes even though I'm not a kid anymore.

I hear your name from whispers in the dark.It blends with the sounds of the crickets outside my bedroom window.I freeze for a moment feeling the heaviness resting on my chest as it does every night.I begin to whisper back.The pain of your hurt moving across my soul.I pray the crickets get louder to drown out the sounds of my hollow heart.As it grows deeper into the night the whispers begin to get louder.I can't seem to make it stop.I lay in my bed,each whisper another slice in my heart.When morning comes I'll begin to stich myself back together but it's not morning yet.I don't know will the light will begin to shine through the darkness of this night.It seems to go on forever.

Your so strong. Everytime I think about you i remember the way you've always picked yourself back up.I wanted to grow up and be like you.Strong,kind,compassionate,and beautiful.You have such a kind soul and your an amazing person.
I've never wanted to become someone as much as I wanted to become you.
I love making you laugh when your having a hard time.
Don't let a man drag you down when your out of his reach.

I watch the love shine in her eyes.
her eyes light up when he texts her.
she grins through her words when she talks of him
I get to see my best friend in love again.
the way her voice softens when she says his name
like it carries a warmth she thought she'd lost
and in those small moments I see pieces of her healing.
and it reminds me
how brave love really us
to open your heart after it once knew how to break
and the world feels lighter
knowing her heart
found its way back to something that makes it grow.
I see the glow she tried to hide before
the peices of her heart
that once fell quiet is starting to sing again
she laughs a little easier now and smiles a little longer
and hopes rests gently in the corners of her words
I watch her read his messages like their tiny sparks of joy
lighting up little moments in the middle of ordinary days
and maybe love is exactly that.
not the fireworks every second but the quiet brightness of someone choosing you again and again
so I stand beside her grateful to witness it
the soft return of happiness in someone I love
because there's something beautiful about watching your best friend find the kind of love that returns the light in her eyes

If only he knew.
The love that bloomed for him in my heart
With every beat my heart chants his name
in soft silent dreams,we come to life
our souls reaching for each other
If only he knew the way my mind runs to him
the way my body screams his name when I have to say goodbye
If only he knew I adore him
his smile,his laugh,the way he holds doors for me,or pays for my things
Every exchange my heart blooms with flowers only he could plant
his presence is the sun,water,and soil it needs to thrive
the way his eyes sparkle in the sunlight,reminding me of the way the sun reflects off the ocean and makes it shine.
If only he knew the words I've left unsaid
the longing that weighs heavy on my heart
I yearn for every moment to be near him
To hold him close and let my doubts disappear
If only he knew the magic he holds
a torch ignites and our story begins to unfold
chapters that were left empty are now filled with essays of you.
completing me and making me whole again
If only he knew the love that i've hidden
a sacred flame that can't be stolen or relight
I'd give him my all.
My soul,my heart,and my love
To be his love and the reason he feels whole
If only he knew the truth hidden deep within
hiding in the cracks only he could fill
in his arms I find safety and solace
if only he knew

I show my body.
Im not loved.
I voice my opipions.
I'm not loved.
I've sexualized myself desperate for love.
Will I ever find it?
I change my favorite parts of myself for them.
Will I ever find it?

"you mean the one that cheated on me?"
But I never cheated.
you didn't know I heard you
anger flowed into my body like never before.
I loved you.
why do you think that?
anger turned into hurt
I shook pacing around my room.
What made you think that?
your already talking to someone new
was I never good enough for you?
I guess wanting to help you and hold you.
My love,kindness,respect,and appreciation.
Nothing was enough for you.

Was it all a lie?
The way you spoke to me.
Was it all a lie?
The i love you's.
Was it all a lie?
The laughter and smiles.
Was it all a lie?
The I miss you's.
Was it all a lie?
The way you made me fall in love with country again.
Was it all a lie?
Was everything I did for you a lie?
I suppose it was.
