Love
Marlenne Ramirez Jul 2015
We are all searching for love.
Funny thing is that
there's no need for a search.
Love lives within us.
Love just needs to be awakened.
When someone walks into your life,
They stop by and give it meaning.

A Little Something
Marlenne Ramirez Jul 2015
Summer came early in the month of May. Miles apart, there we stood. A simple sunset photograph initiated a new beginning.
One conversation led to the next, and next. Next thing you knew, hours of the day, were passing in a matter of minutes. As the dates passed, the connection grew stronger. He stared me down, I knew his game, and still my eyes, fell to the ground.
Feelings originated accompanied by trepidation. Little did I expect for this to become a little something. A little something that came straight from nothing.
Realizing my fears there I stood completely lost and out of place. "Too good to be true", I told myself. A man right in front of me, who was so different, yet so resembling. Was this all a show? The typical "man" who makes a woman fall hopelessly in love, and then leaves her tearing and hurting.
Resisting to the feelings, a shell I put. My self-defense mechanisms played its role. The days flew by, and there I stood, once again, in the middle of July, feeling that change of season. Fall just made me lose my mind.
There's not a lot left. I'm hitting rock bottom. It's cold here in the shadows with no light. Winter has hit stronger than ever. I'm becoming numb. I need his warm embrace.
Time has become my worst enemy. I wish I can face my fears. Love does not come easy at all. I've missed him so much. I miss the words we use to say. Im trapped inside a dream and I don't see him next to me. I don't know if he has just set me free.
Spring is around the corner. I'm taking it slow. I want to be his favorite thing, and so be beautiful. Get drunk on that good life, where I will take him to paradise. My little something that came straight from nothing, open your eyes and realize your not just something.
Im a little rusty but here's a little something
