"Let your smile change the world,
Not the world change your smile"

~anonymous
I just liked this quote.... I wish I listened to it better
If I could have
I would have
But I couldn't
And I can't
And I'm *sorry
This is an older one
He was there, never paid attention to him
We talked more often started getting feelings
But I jus' pushed them away
Now that's he's in Chicago
I realize I was foolish for not taking the oppurtunity to tell him how I feel
Now I'll never see him again...
I've been looking for you all around

I can't find you in old photographs
And sometimes I can't reach you by phone
    But when I look in the mirror and see my smile

*I know I've found you
He
He said there is poetry within my soul
smooth,sweet, golden and jazzy with indigo undertones
And 7 shades of peace, love.
He said there is poetry beneath my skin, within my soul, where God reins. Crossing over..

If a tree falls
When no one's around
How do we know
If it still makes a sound?
If a star disappears
And no one sees it go
Then how, I ask you
Did we know it ever glowed?
If a girl hides her pain
And pretends that she's fine
How will anyone know
That she's dying inside?
In your arms, I'm most comfortable
It feels like we're two pieces of a whole
And we have melted together
It feels like I'm floating on the calm ocean
And it scares me
Because at any moment,
The seas could be violent
And I could drown
In the crowd of strange faces
yours seemed familiar...
I did not know you, yet
to the person in my mind
you looked similar..
None acquaintance lied between,
I felt pulled to you altogether..
You are a beautiful stranger,
Strangely beautiful you are..
I don't know if i see you again,
You are close,  even if you
stay so **** far* ...
nothing will ever be as beautiful as you.

you may think that even the smallest things possess more beauty, like the way the trees sway when the wind's coming from the northwest or when your favorite song comes on the radio and the grin that appears on your face. but i promise you that there is nothing out there that will ever come close to you. i wish you thought the same about yourself as i did.
for my best friend Katie who has more self image issues than I
There is a silent poem
Being written
Constantly

It's a story
A beautiful story
One of pain
Joy
Peace
Love
Beauty
And so much more

There are no words
None are needed

It's in every broken heart
And hopeless tear

It whispers from the trees
And through the gentle swish of grass

It resides in the twinkling stars
And bright silver moon

It's in every child's laugh
And every baby's cry

It runs in every drop of rain
And shines through every lightning strike

It has no words
But if you listen carefully
Maybe
Just maybe
You will hear the silent poem
Of the universe
