REAL
A second
A minute
An hour
A day
A month
A year....
Your life can be different
Can change in a matter of minutes
Or in a matter of years
I drive my life slowly
Unknowingly
Where I'll end
Cause at any moment
I may not be here

you don't even take your shoes off when you come inside anymore.
you knock hesitantly at the door, and hope that you are greeted by anyone other than her.  
wiping your shoes off thoroughly on the mat before entering, making sure to leave no trace that you were even here.
if you do see her, just a nod of the head and a tolerative smile.
but you don'y ever take off your shoes anymore.
i guess that's because you aren't really considered a guest in the home that you wrecked.
i guess that's because it doesn't make things awkward every time you leave again.
i guess it just makes it easier to walk in and out of the door every time, without having to think too much about what you are leaving behind.
i guess you just want to constantly remind me that you are only here temporarily, never to stay again permanently. That you can just pick up and leave whenever you please.
i guess that's just it.
too busy to be bothered.
too absent to take off your shoes anymore.
my parents are getting a divorce and the healing process after they told us is painful...

"  I've been stung

nowhere to run

your words are poison

they fill my lungs.  "
Not my words, but beautiful lyrics.

Healing is a process

There is The Grief Stage where everything feels like it is falling apart. When the sky feels darker and your heart; heavy. And when you feel like you might never see the light of day again, you come to an understanding.

The Understanding Stage is were you begin to find peace and explore what your healing means. It is where the clouds begin to lift, the sky becomes a little brighter and your heart; lighter. And soon enough, the sun is shinning.

The The Understanding Stage is over and you have The Moving Forward Stage. Although, this stage is optional. The Healing Process has brought you this far and now it is up to you to decide. Will you use what you became to Understand to move on? Or will you let it rain another day and let the clouds swallow you up? I guess this part is up to you, choose wisely.

Some day, you'll realize that all I ever did was for the good of you.

Some day, you'll understand that everything was in your best interest, not mine.  

Too bad words have been shared, feelings have been hurt and shade has been thrown.

So by the time you figure all of this out, it's gonna be too late.
I've loved you,
Since the day we met.
I knew you were the one,
I was willing to bet.

You loved me,
Since the day I asked.
But just look upon us,
How much time has past.

You have my heart,
It's yours to keep.
Your are in my mind,
It cuts so deep.

I'll never forget,
The day we met.
The first time we touched,
True love would be set.

I love you
Im sorry for everything..
