Tonight the stars and constellations glistened brightly,
A lovely display contrasting with the dark canvas above.
Yet my attention was not directed at the night sky’s beauty,
For I found myself looking somewhere other than upward.
I’d never dream that I’d have the pleasure of meeting somebody,
Who makes the heavens themselves appear mundane.

My dear,
You would’ve been the death of me.
And neither one of us wanted to bury a friend.

Love is patient,
Yet I'm finding it hard to wait
When all I want is you.
Right here
Right now
Love may be patient,
But impatience is proof that I'm yearning.

I remember when you would show me your songs
ones you personally wrote.
I'd read them constantly
scanning every page
every line
every word
looking everywhere
even in between the lines
For any traces of what you thought about me
For any evidence or proof
that I was on your mind
Sometimes I occasionally go back and read them
remembering
hoping
but also knowing
if you were to write about me know
I doubt the words would be anything kind.

A body made of clay
Dry and cracking
That is the state of being
That I'm currently in.
I've stretched myself
Again to my limit
Giving and giving
Till I have nothing left to give.
Yet I selfishly keep going
Because heaven forbid
I help myself
Before I help my friends.
They are the people I love
And they need me
So I keep stretching and pulling
Making myself empty again.
But now my body is sore
I can feel it breaking
From the pressure
I've placed on myself.
Please give me a little time
To fix my body of clay
So I don't fall apart
And become the one who needs help.

I love feeling needed
However,
I crave being with someone
who wants me
loves me
more than someone who sees me as a necessity.

Is it ok to be afraid of the things I'd have to give up?
The changes I'd have to go through?
The parts of me I'm have to sacrifice?
Just to be with you
I love being with you
But
I'm scared of becoming unfamiliar
different
someone unrecognizable
That potential change scares me
Its something I think about often when we're together
However
I think that if you loved me
Despite my changes
Being unfamiliar would be worthwhile

Dear Younger Me,
So you’re taking another step into your future. It’s tempting to just look behind you and all the opportunities you’ve missed. But what’s the use in doing so? Will that help you move forward? NO! So keep your eyes open and look ahead. God has a plan for you. All you need is to take a step of faith. Yes there is uncertainty and there is doubt; however, when you trust God and take that step, He will use you in ways that you can’t even comprehend.
Sincerely,
A slightly older me

Dear Younger Me,
Why must you be afraid? It’s saddening to see that the worries you have are eating you up. Be aware! Your anxious spirit is only going to harm you. God loves you and His love makes no room for fear. Cling to His love and His peace with every fiber of your being. Fearful thoughts are full of lies and deceit. Don’t give them the chance to overwhelm you. It’s harder to see God’s plan for you when they do. Your worries may seem too strong but trust me God’s love is stronger.
Sincerely,
A slightly older me

I am not one to lead,
For I don't know where to go.
And if you walk ahead of me,
I can't promise that I'll follow.
But if you walk beside me,
As a friend and a guide.
I promise to walk with you happily,
And never wander from your side.
But if you choose to walk farther ahead,
Or you choose to linger behind.
I'll stray away from the path you tread,
Wandering from promises you have resigned.
