Winters with you were never so cold
Your presence brought an unspeakable warmth
And now I hide under covers wishing your body was there
I miss that warmth
I miss going out in Winter
I miss standing in the middle of the sidewalk and letting the cold air
Just hit us full on because you couldn't resist kissing me
I miss that
I miss Winter...
Fill me with your love stories
Help me imagine the love I cannot have

Fill me with your sorrow and heartbreak
So I feel less alone with mine

Fill me with comedy
So I may laugh for the first time in too long

Fill me every word you have
Teach me what it is to love and to care
Teach me what it is to forgive
Let your ink fill my veins
And let me live a better life.
I found an old Christmas card
And it almost broke me to see
Husband on it
Because you were so **** confident
At one point
That you would be exactly that
And now,
Now we're strangers
And I can hardly remember you holding me
Or when the last time you told me you loved me was
Was it when you left?
Was it after?

This Christmas, like every Christmas for 8 years,
I will wish for you
For your happiness
For us whatever God intended
Because I believe
Once you call yourself that
Maybe, just maybe
You shouldn't be a stranger.

so much to say,
but don't know how.
No two were ever more like Romeo and Juliet than us
Torn apart by our families hatred for each other
Both on the brink of suicide
Both planning it
We're unafraid of knives
We only ever cared for words
Because they always stabbed so much deeper

Will we let their hate defeat us
Or by the grace of God
Will we find the strength to love each other
The way we always have.
Easy 8 Step Bake

1. Add a sufficient amount of cute, so much that you'll never stop looking
2. Add 3/4 tbsp of a killer smile, to stop your heart
3. Mix with 2 eyes, that you could look into forever
4. Laugh as you add the humor, so you'll always smile when they're around
5. Let it settle for 10 min, so that your heart gets used to not beating without them
6. Insert into oven at 666 Fahrenheit, it'll make you do anything for them
7. Take it out after what feels like a lifetime of waiting for them has passed
8. Watch them love someone else
I guess we're both moving on
Both living separate lives

But can you please
Just inform my heart, head, and dreams
They're not listening very well.
Trying so hard but it all feels so wrong.
