F/California Just a girl figuring out the life she wants, while making the people she loves happy.
It wasn't just a hug. It was soft, warm and comfortable. I was myself and he was too. Standing in silence holding each other like we do it everyday. His big grey hoodie connected with my scrawny arms. We were safe and I was happy. As I melted into him, I never knew I could love someone so much.

a dream.
I want to be out of the house. I want to be able to do anything on my own. I want to make my own decisions. I want to make my own mistakes. I have learned from you for too long. It is time for me to find my own path. To start my own journey. So I can be happy. So I can be free.

the start.
Strange stares from across the street? Nothing I can do about that but just take a seat. I try and try just to get by But instead I get judged and criticized from that guy. These people around me create my backstory Making me unsatisfactory. Don’t ask me if I steal, Don’t ask me if I deal. I want to keep safe, before it’s too late, But I guess I will just have to wait.

Humans often forget that we're humans We aren't gods, we aren't goddesses We are just that, humans We all go through difficult times. No one is perfect

I love you. No wait, I hate you. Why do you have me feeling this way? Your bipolar disease is having an affect on me. I do not like it. But I love it. See there you go again. I am tied around your finger waiting for you to cut me loose. Of course you wouldn't do that though because your selfish. Also cute. And rude. And persuasive. Ahh what joy young love brings us all.

Cut me loose.
She came to him one day and said That She wished to fly He met her gaze and shook his head And begged her not to try Her lips twisted and brows knit As She failed to understand Just why He wanted her to quit And be content on land An oath, She made, to herself to see The stars She would explore Although He said no just let it be And wished to hear no more She asked him why She shouldn't go And why He so loved the ground For She dreamed of soaring to and fro And living amongst the clouds He looked at her, sighed and said That this journey would only lead To disappointment in the end As She would surely not succeed Encouraged by his stinging words She set out to do even more She promised to be just like the birds To not just fly, but to soar So for a time, through night and day She tried again and again Until the morn She found her way And rode, gracefully, the wind She glided, majestically, here and there And also far and near And so She told him so, with love and care That He had nothing to fear Yet, on the ground He wished stay And still refused to go So the two went their separate ways She flying high, and He perched below Through his eyes, his sorrows fled His heart a heavy stone Because He had known how this would end With her free, leaving him alone And He remembered the day She said That She had wished to fly For it was not She he doubted, but himself instead As He had never dared to try

The Day He Cried
You play hide and go seek with your little telephone. While I sit here at night all on my own. The whispers I hear when I walk by your room, Then stop when you here me but then soon will resume.

Lies.
I would talk to her everyday knowing that she would listen. I would cry, smile and she was always there to support me. But then, it was different. I no longer felt her with me. I felt afraid. But I knew it had to be done. I am glad that she is happy. Knowing that, I believe I can do this on my own.

No longer there.
There are only a few that do not take the chance to find love. They are too impatient so they risk their own lives. This causes them to never find out what would have gone right for them. Personally, I do not believe in love, but I am still going to take that chance to find the "person of my dreams". Sure call me clique, but who cares? We all do it. At least for the most part. How I see it is that there is only a 50/50 percent chance that you live happily ever after. Did you know that there are more than just one soulmate depending on what decisions you decipher? They only downfall is that not everyone gets so lucky. They make mistakes, never find the one, or are so caught up in the attention that they are receiving, that they get think that they are in true love. So let me ask you. Are you willing to take that leap of hope to find true love? Or are you going to take the safest yet most dangerous route just to find solidarity?

It is all about taking risks.
When I looked at you, everything else seemed to disappear. When I touched you, it is like I have never felt something so similar in my life. When you held me, I felt safe like no-one could come near us. But then, You moved away. I could have gone with you but you made it seem so hard. You made me feel trapped in this small town with nothing to do. I was scared and lonely because you were not there to protect me. I was so mad and angry at you for so long. You made me feel weak inside and out. But then you came back. I was finally able to see myself again. I was finally able to see that spark. But remembering how you made be feel without you was too much. I couldn't bare myself to get attached to you one more time. So I'm sorry to do this again, but I hope for the best. Love, The one you lost before
