Irish I'm a horrible poet but I don't care. This is my way of getting my feelings out. If you don't like...well I really don't give a damn.
His name is unknown to me. His features are as well. He could be taller than me (I hope) He could be funnier than me (I hope not). His hand will wrap around a ring of eternity. It’s a symbol of love. Cliché but it’s still something I long for. However if there isn’t a ring of eternity involved with many smaller little rings running about, then I’m not interested. A family of rings must be involved When I close my eyes, the dark paradise of what I’m living has been blown away like a thick purple heavy fog. He is standing there however his figure becomes more clear as I move on in life, searching for him.

Ring.
I think it's time. Time for me to smile. Time for me to stop thinking and start doing. I think about my actions to much. I play it safe. I think of all the possible outcomes before major decisions. Will this be a good idea? Will he like me back? What if I move here after college? I need to stop everything. Stop, drop and relax. Stop thinking of what others think of me. I've had a rough life, but who hasn't? I'm going to smile, cause I deserve to.

Smile.
I've made mistakes. We all have. That little demon on your shoulder who whispers empty promises. Did I succumb? I did. Giving into his words. Self-loathing. Self-hatred. Little did I know, the demon was imaginary. However it's easier to listen to insults when they are from your own mouth. Your own demon. Friends helped me find the light. The mirror I looked in each morning was easier to look into. The bed I slept it was easier to get out of. However that little demon. He still remains. I wonder when the day will be when I can finally bury him in the ground.

Riddance.
When will it get better Leona? You say "It'll all get better in time", however I wait for that day. I wait for the day that I'll be able to smile without a ounce of anger behind it. Without an ounce of anger towards you. I am realizing now I am learning to forget. I do deserve to smile. I do deserve someone who wants to dance with me. Or share a cup of coffee with me. I deserve someone who will move around the country with me. Who will raise my children with me. Not someone who uses excuses instead of the honest truth. Not someone who acts the way you do. Like an immature high schooler. Sometimes I wonder how long I can get by being alone. Being my own rock to lean on. I am sick of looking for him. He'll can come find me for a change. I don't deserve to be with someone who makes me happy. No. I deserve to BE someone who is happy.

Deserved.
I try to forget. I try my best with a smile. The thing is you didn't promise me anything. You offered a hand of friendship. However it changed when secrets were released. Friendship evolved. It blossomed like a tulip. Until that tulip decided to become frozen. Frozen in my feelings I felt for you. The tulip remains frozen until you decide to chip it open or someone else awakens it with a kiss. It's hard when I want that kiss to be yours. However you have an appetite for a different flower. You want your lips on a nearby rose. The worse is I can't use anger to hide my feelings because I can't be angry with you. It's not my fault you don't want to unfreeze my tulip. It's not your fault either. It's just the way it is.
