For my final act of love,
I will let go of my love for you.
Let go of the future we planned.
Let go of dreams and goals we had.
Let go of me wanting something
that you never wanted.
I will let go of what we could have been.

You are free now,
free of the slow mundane life I promised you
so you can spread your wings
to the far off places,
I could never reach.
Free from me slowing you down.
Free from me pestering you
to help build bridges forward
for our future,
while you built walls around yourself.
Free to live the life you wanted
without me.

I should have realized sooner
that this is not what you wanted.
That you didn't want me
but the comfort I brought.
That you wanted to live for the present,
not the future.
I should have realized all this so much sooner,
and for that shame on me,
I'm sorry.

For my final act of love,
I chose to love you no longer.
You now have the forever in your hands
That you so very much wanted,
a forever without me.
For my final act of love,
I'll move on...
without you.
Good luck,
I wish you well.

Goodbye, I did truly love you.

A Reminder, That I'm a Good Person

I'm a good person,
I don't need reminding of it.
Even so,
Friends and family tell me,
I'm a good person.

I'm a good person,
I truly don't have to remind myself.
Even so,
My demons tell me:
"I don't deserve to think I am."

I'm a good person,
No need to remind me.
Even so,
My actions and compassion
Is proof that I am.

I'm a good person,
Sometimes I remind myself.
Even so,
My demons tell me:
"I don't deserve to think I am."

I'm a good person,
My loved ones remind me of this.
Even so,
I don't want to believe it.
At times I feel I don't deserve to.

I'm a good person,
I need to remind myself.
Even so,
Even if I have to remind myself,
I will know...

That I'm a good person.

Remember, that you are a good person. A Reminder every now and then is appreciated.

The Color Orange

You know, I never noticed
the color orange much
till I met you.

You told me
It was your favorite color
Now I see it everywhere.

Seeing orange in sunrise.
Seeing orange in your eyes
When the light reflects off them.

Seeing orange as the leaves fall
With an autumn breeze.
Seeing you when I see orange.

I love seeing your smile
And the glimmer in your eyes,
As we drive into the sunset.

Seeing the oranges blend
With my favorite color,
Of which is purple.

As long as the sun sets,
And our favorite colors can touch,
Our souls will as well.

So as the sun fades in the distance
And you sleep next to me
I wish you sweet dreams.

Dreams full of orange things
As full and vibrant
As I see you.

I will always love you
For as long as our colors touch
Each day with the setting sun.

For as long as there are
More days and sunsets of orange
I will love you.

Thank you for bringing
Such a beautiful color
Into my life.

To the person who made me love the color orange, thank you.

Not So Tired

I'm tired of not dreaming.
My sleep does not rest me,
For when I close my eyes,
I open them back up to reality.

I'm tired of not moving.
My weary eyes stay open,
For if I close my eyes,
I do not go towards a future.

I'm tired of not breathing.
Every time I inhale,
It is to just maintain.
I wish I could still smell the flowers.

I'm tired.

So tired.

But when I'm with you,
I can sleep, dreaming of a future.

When I'm with you,
My stiff body moves forward.

When I'm with you,
I can finally have a breath of fresh air.

When I'm with you,
I'm not tired.
And I will never be tired of you.

Love That Doesn't Belong to You

The past,
I want to know.

The present,
I wish I could hold.

The future,
Will never be mine.

I'm a strong believer in if you love someone, you will let them be with what and who makes them happy, even if it's not me in the end.

Maybe I

Maybe I am just not the one.
Maybe I'm just here to help you through
This jungled mess called life.

Maybe I'm not going to be with you
Maybe I will just be on the sidelines
Cheering you on till you find the one.

Maybe I just want you to be happy and
Maybe when you find happiness,
You will find it in me.

Maybe you don't find it in me..
If so, that's fine
For as long as you find happiness,
That is all I could ask for.
