Nostalgia is a painful thing sometimes
When the summer is over,
Let’s accepted the unacceptable
I cannot imagine an autumn without golden leaves
A summer without the hot blasting sun
or the midst of a budding romance,

Autumn without the leaves slowly falling
To the ground,
while the cold breeze nibble our brows
No warmth from the sun:

Mother Nature the grief we feel
your unalterable changes of your teaching
Once again you have won this round
Is that your voice I heard in the distance wind?
It has been a wonderful summer this year my friend
I will continue to meditate on your words,

In a time of temptation, with no fault of my own
My summer romance is over
Early to bed, and early to rise
Followed by a hot cup of fresh mint tea
Until we meet again…..
summer of 2015

Would that these sounds inside my head stop, for the briefest of moments,
for if it was so that I could just hear your voice one more time,
I would listen like a child in incumbent solitude,  
as if to a mothers soothing voice,  
reading never ending stories,
and if time would hold back these autumn tears,
I would breath again, feeling the cold, crisp air enter my lungs as a soothing balm,
healing my wounds and making me whole.

just lie to me and say the emptiness will go away someday,
tell me it gets better,
tell me I won't always feel like this.
I need something to hope for,
something to look forward to.
I don't want a light at the end of the tunnel,
I want the tunnel to be lit on the inside, too.
I don't want to wait until the end to finally be able to see.
improvement is not getting used to the pain,
improvement is the pain going away.
if you had a hole in your hand your entire life
yes, you would get used to it
but there'd still be a ******* hole in your hand
and I am trying to hold on but everything keeps slipping through the ******* hole
and no one is telling me how to make the hole go away,
they just keep saying I'll learn how to live with it.
How many grains of sand are on the world's beaches?

You never really get over it. You just simply learn to live with what has happened and how it has changed you. Now that I think about it, I don't mind the way I've changed. I don't want to go back to they way I was. I was weak. But now, I'm stronger than I've ever been. I see life in a new light. I see more beauty and I've learned so much in the past couple months. I've learned about myself and who I'm meant to be. I've learned to deal with life and the unknown things it throws at me. I admit, I may have some weak moments, but it's a part of life. At times, I may forget who I am, I may feel lost in a sea of people. But, I always find my way back to happiness and that's what's important. Just know that things will be okay.
**This too shall pass.**

As the day goes on,
I waste in sighs,
waiting for something to happen.
Suddenly I realized,
this is it.
This is my life,
and I am not living in the moment
like I should.
From that moment on,
I stood up
and lived the life I was meant to.
A life full of
cherished love and enchantment.
A life well desired,
by a young girl who believes
in the beauty of her dreams.
From now on,
I live for
midnight adventures,
taking risks,
and falling in love.
Life isn't meant for waiting. It's about chasing after what you truly desire.

Standing here in this celestial space
A small stage in the cosmic arena
Looking up at the vast canvas above
Wondering, what I may stumble upon
Is there a replica of this planet anywhere?
Or, am I lucky to inhabit this isolated planet?
Where we have only each other to rely on
And the only place which harbors life
And let go of our delusion of supremacy
For, we maybe all alone in this universe
Maybe, we do not understand it yet?
