Do you remember the times when we though we would not make it?
I do.
They are more vivid to me then that which was last night.
It haunts my very soul- the idea of life without you.
But every time that wretched thought of walking away surfaced, we managed to push it under.

Do you remember the times when it seemed that nothing would pull us down?
I do.
I cherish these moments like I cherish life itself.
The moments of glee,
The moments of gay thought,
The moments of love.

I hold on to them to get through the moments of Hell.
The moments of depression and fatigue.

They get me though the dark.

Do you remember that night?
Oh, that night where we gave each other the promise of ourselves.
The promise to never give up,
To walk through the roses and the thorns together,
To hold each other dear, no matter how far away.
Do you remember?
I do.
And I never plan on letting it fade.
Here's to life and promises
I am love
I am hate
I am fear
I am fate

I am trees
I am ground
I am silence
I am sound

I am stars
I am night
I am sun
I am light

I am you
I am me
I am they
I am we

I am above
I am below
I am within
I am soul

The first time I wrote poetry
I presented it to my father
He laughed and said to me
"must you be in love?
only those in love write this--"
A 10yr old girl cried that night,
Humiliated.

But it was true. Now that I look at it.
That of being in love.
Because I fell in love with written words
Hopefully someone reads this
And falls in love as well.
Love is not a contest
It's unlike any congress
In which both parties throw in their two cents
To dismiss a common nuisance
Of who loves who more or even less

Love should be of equal parties
A bond so resilient, bright, and hearty
One body halved and separated
Leaving two figures devastated
Until they find each other's heartbeats

Love should never be about triumphing
It's about two souls intertwining
It's about sharing each others toils
In hopes to knot their mortal coils
And to be blessed by fate and timing

In short, love is too sacred and fragile a view
To argue about who loves who more: me or you.
In response to the common battle shared between two lovers.
"I love you."
"I love you more."
Don't get me wrong, it's cute to impishly rebut one another about who loves who more, but in the end, it's about being equal.

Hey friend,
Put down the blades
This feeling surely fades
Put away the pills
Watching you live like this kills me inside
Don't hang that noose
Keep that rope loose
Acknowledge your feeling
It's not unappealing
Look at the people who love you, their faces
They know you're going places
Not in the ground
Let your broken heart be found
You are loved and needed
Even if no one begged and pleaded
You're meant for something
Imagine the smiles you could bring
If you stay
Come with me, friend, I'll show you the  way
