Tell me it's ok
Tell me that no matter what, life goes on and that soon I'll begin to see rainbows around every corner again
Tell me the broken glass shards of pain won't last
Tell me my heart will sprout wings again
Tell me that you won't ever let anything happen to me
Tell me to **** it up & smile
Tell me that everyone has rough patches
Tell me it's the strong who can get back up
Tell me it's ok

How beautiful the earth You made
and Your life You freely gave
all for our souls to save
and all the pain we deserved,
You mercifully took away,
What a price to pay,
Creator of life,
Giver of grace,
the King of Kings,
my Savior,
Peacemaker,
You rescued me,
so that I could be free,
how heavenly

maybe I'm meant to be alone

I've come to realize that
home isn't always the place with the welcome mat at the front door & cookies being made in the oven
or the suburban home with the white picket fence
or the cozy city apartment surrounded by lights & magic
but home is an idea or feeling you get
when around certain people
a house is only a place to live,
but a home is so much more
and suddenly I look around & realize I'm home

I'm sitting on my front porch
listening to the wind chimes
& loving myself
spending quality "me" time
as I watch the clouds roll by
Who said this day has to be about loving a romantic partner?

How can I take one day to celebrate my love for someone when one lifetime isn't even enough?

You were the sudden taste of champagne on my tongue
you gave me a taste of my future
and gave me courage
making me explode with every feeling imaginable

You were the choker on my neck
restraining your emotions with a hint of humor
changing the past & making it present

You were the pencil in my hand
erasing everything I thought I knew about love and coming up with your own definition

You were the view from my window
giving me a peak into a curious, beautiful new world awaiting me the chance to explore

You were the fog after the storm
unknown & mysterious
causing me to wander

You were the puppeteer
putting on a show
with me as your puppet
only to leave within a matter of time
