Often the choices that are the hardest to
Make are the ones that lead us to
Better things

The devil plays at his temptation
But it is clear to see
The LORD is King of my salvation
Forever more to be
"For freedom Christ has set you free; stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to the yoke if slavery."

It was never about winning or losing
It was about seeing things the way they are
And learning to use them to work towards better things.

You be my bones
I'll be your structure
You be my lungs
And I'll be your lover
There's nothing can take
What we've always had
I think of you night and day

Sometimes I want to forget you
I want to forget all the pictures we took
All the adventures we went on
Braving the cold
When no one else would
I want to forget
Laughing with you
So hard it hurt
On car rides to nowhere
I want to forget
Going hiking
And getting coffee
Sometimes I want to forget
That you were ever in my life
And imagine that all we were
Was passing strangers
On a busy street
But then... And now
With tearful eyes
I remember how full of each other we were
I remember the joy we had
Bundled up on Sundays
When we refused to turn on the heater
Because we'd rather buy Take-out
Than pay the electric bill
I remember all the memories we made
With such naivety
That all that happiness would last forever
I want to freeze us in that frame
And pretend it never fell apart
I want to forget the icy cold
That is between us now
And I want to forget I ever knew you
It's cold, I'm tired, I'm awake... And even though I know that the way things are is better, I wish we were better together.

You are worth so much**
Think of all of the thousands of leaves
And of all the blades of grass
That would have never stirred had you not driven that car down the old asphalt of your hometown
Those people who you held the elevator for
Wouldn't have gotten to work on time
Think of every bird that never would have roosted in that tree you planted when you were 17
And of the squirrel that you braked for that someone else wouldn't have
You have a place in this universe
You are a sky of greatness
And without you
Nothing would be the same
You are worth so much more than you think you are. I promise that if you die, your dog will realize it immediately. If you die, all your friends at school and your teachers will be sad. I don't know if it's courage or cowardice, but I know that if you were to **** yourself, nothing would be the same. Just make a promise to yourself to get through one more day. I know it's hard, and you're going to fall sometimes back into that deep void that doesn't seem to have an ending. But just make it one more day. Once more.

The difference is
When I stopped talking first
She noticed right away
My dad always told me to stop talking to you first, and let you message me instead, and when I did, you never even noticed. When I do the same to her, within a short time, she messages me first. She's everything you never were.
