To grasp so strongly
On our sure faith in this life
Is to know true peace

If Only

I want to see the city
Brightly gleam at night
I want to feel the presence
Of people full of life
I want my breath to catch
As I gaze upon unending sights
I want new experiences
To escape these familiar frights
Longing for adventures
I'll hope with all my might
To see the city
If only for one night

Leery

Hearing you say one thing to me
And another to them
Makes me wonder
If what we're building is real
Or if this will just be another crumbling tower
That I put too much effort into building
Only to watch it all come crashing down
Broken to pieces
Once again

Hopelessly Captivated

I'm pulled in by your silence
Captivated by your mystery
Your charming physique
Your mind unknown
Your character not always shown
Your quiet smile wraps me in warmth
Your deep brown eyes show that there's more
More to you than meets the eye

Have Faith

Set aside your fears
Let love in
You never know what you'll find
When new things begin

The happiness consumes you
You feel so alive
Overwhelming feelings
All the doubts subside

Don't be afraid to chase your dreams
He'll lead you all the way
You're not alone in this life
I, too, am here to stay

Twisted Dreams

In his mind, we're "together."
Not official, but not "just friends."
"I understand."
(I assumed the rays of sunshine would bleed through the clouded skies, and
Outshine the darkness.)

He doesn't want a serious relationship
Fears that it will take away from those he's most passionate about
"I understand."
(Where is his passionate love for me?)

This sport could take him places
He's made the mistake before of growing too attached that it ruined his chances in the past
"I understand."
(He doesn't realize that I'm not the same person that his past love was.)

He claims to only have eyes for me
But he can't lose his focus on his dreams
"I understand."
(You're not ready for a serious relationship
But continue to spend every free moment you have with me.)

I don't understand.

Everything Happens For A Reason

There is a time for everything,
  and a season for every activity under heaven:
  a time to be born and a time to die,
  a time to plant and a time to uproot,
  a time to **** and a time to heal,
  a time to tear down and a time to build,
  a time to weep and a time to laugh,
  a time to mourn and a time to dance,
  a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
  a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
  a time to search and a time to give up,
  a time to keep and a time to throw away,
  a time to tear and a time to mend,
  a time to be silent and a time to speak,
  a time to love and a time to hate,
  a time for war and a time for peace.
*Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

He has made everything beautiful in its time.
