He came out of nowhere, I never even saw it coming.
The smile he wore seemed so genuine
No matter how much i resisted
how much i distanced myself
I found myself being pulled in.

every word he spoke
Every text he sent
Every call we had
Everything seemed perfect.
It was as if an angel had fallen from the sky and right into my lap

I was weary of this gorgeous stranger
My heart had been shattered too many times
I’ve been left to pick up the pieces all on my own
Only to let, yet another shatter my fragile heart.

I kept my wall up and my guards on high alert
With every word, he chipped at the wall I had built so high
With every smile, my guard was lowered bit by bit
Until finally, I let my guard down
I tore down what was remaining of my wall.
All so that he could love my broken shards back to one.

I let myself get attached to him
I let him hold the shards of my fragile heart in his hands
I let him know my pain, my laughter and my love.

The moment he knew I had fallen for him, a gorgeous stanger.
He ran, leaving my fragile heart to shatter once again.
Leaving the wall I had built so carefully tarnished in the rubble.

Just as quickly and mysterious as he had arrived, was just how quick and mysterious he had left.

There you were, looking at me with those piercing, icy blue eyes
It felt as though the moment when our eyes connected
our souls became intertwined

There was an instant connection between us.
you flashed a smile and i felt a spark in my heart
Each word that left your mouth was ember

Your laugh and voice was kindling
You added more and more ember just as you added more kindling
And soon a flame began burning in my heart

It began small
just a simple flame
the size of a rose bud

But as time passed
You fed the fire
And the passion and desire grew

It got bigger
It grew and burned
Until it was a fire burning deep

A fire full of passion and desire
Melting away the walls i had built to protect myself
I didn’t need protection from walls anymore

I have my own prince charming protecting me.

He made me feel everything
He made me fall into a trance

He made me want to stay up every second of every day as to not lose a single second of time with him

He made me smile and blush in the morning as soon as I checked my phone
He sent me paragraphs everyday without fail

He made me fall in love with his every move
He made me fall in love with his every word
He made me fall in love with his every breath

I fell in love with the way he made me giggle
I fell in love with the way my name rolled off his tongue
I fell in love with every single smile he flashed my way

Every time my phone buzzed, my heart leapt
Every time i saw his name on my screen my heart skipped a beat
Every time we talked, i fell deeper in love with him.

All so suddenly and without warning I had let him in
I had let him see things that I had hidden away from the world.
I had let myself feel things, things that I swore off from ever feeling again

Feelings that i thought would never make an appearance inside of me, ever again.
I had let myself fall in the deepest trance known to man.
The trance of love.

My mom is the strongest woman I know
She walks with the confidence of a thousand warriors.
She fights my battles even when im too weak to keep fighting.

My mom is the bravest woman I know
She fights and no matter what she never gives up
She protects us and she keeps us safe no matter what she has to face.

My mom is the sweetest woman I know
She teaches us to be kind in the smallest of her actions
She comforts us even when she needs comfort

My mom is the most selfless woman I know
She put our needs in front of hers no matter the circumstances.
She wipes our tears even when her cheeks are stained with tears.

My mom is the most forgiving woman I know
She knows when to forgive and when not to.
She forgives us even when we don’t deserve her forgiveness.

My mom is the most accepting woman I know
She accepts that life wont always be fair and she takes it in her strive.
She accepts who I am no matter how different or difficult I turn out to be.

My mom is the most loving woman I know
She heals us with her love and keeps our hearts whole.
She has the biggest heart of any woman I know.

My mom is the most beautiful woman I know
She is not only the most gorgeous woman I have ever laid eyes upon
she has the most beautiful soul any human has ever beared.

My mom is my hero.

Sometimes I just want to cry but I can't find the tears for it.
They’re somewhere hidden deep inside me.

I have a million and two reasons as to why I could cry
Why I should cry
But I find that I have zero tears willing to get spent for those reasons.
Not one tear finds any of the million and two reasons enough to slip out into my moonlit bedroom and down my cheek.

Until one day all the tears decide at once they want to pay me a little visit.
One tear comes trailing down my cheek
Making a path for the next
Until all tears have made separate paths down my face
Making their own destiny
each come raining down for a reason of their own
After all, they have a million and 2 reasons to pick from.

Sometimes I don't want to cry
The tears can’t help showing themselves at times like these
Times when they’re not wanted
Drowning in a pool caused by a million and two reasons.

As I close my eyes
I see your love

A far away island
Just a simple memory

The exotic flowers
The intoxicating smells

The kisses the sun gives me every morning
The warmth and the light it shines into my life

The cool ocean surrounding me, my past, present and future
The gifts the ocean washes in every day surprise me

The protection of the trees
The sweet honey of the bees

The soft sand padding any falls
The rough grains softening any rough edges I may have

The love, protection, warmth
The island providing me with everything I may need

Your Love is Like an Island.
Keeping me afloat when I was as lost as can be.

There was once a boat filled with people
It hit an iceberg and sunk
Many people died but there were two survivors
Each a stranger to the other
But neither a stranger to the pain

They found each other after the trauma
Each trembling and filled with pain
Both had gone through something different
But both had gone through something painful

They held onto each other for dear life
They swapped war scars and stories
They were so different
Yet they were so alike.

They weathered storms together
They clung to each other
They needed each other
They were no longer strangers

They became lovers, perfect lovers in the sea
They enjoyed the peaceful waves and the sunny days together
They were each others hope
Promising to never go astray

Until one night they both fell asleep
For they had gotten tired
They let go
They drifted apart

When they woke they were scared
For they had lost their love
They had lost their hope
They began to swim in look for their lover

Hours passed
Hours turned into days
Days turned into weeks
They began to lose hope.

Each believing the other had stopped searching the ocean
But never stopping to rest
For this was the Earth's test
They did not rest until they were together again.

The ocean filled with the love of two people
No longer strangers but lovers
Together again for their love is stronger than any force on earth.
Even an iceberg.
