Looking in the past,
All the old messages,
All the not so subtle flirtations,
I can’t believe I was so stupid.

It’s funny really
How when we take the time to look back
We laugh at ourselves and the stupidity of our words and actions.
But then we do the same things over and over again with different people.

I’m sure I’ll fall for someone like you again
And I’m sure that the new you will flirt with me like you did,
Only to step on my feelings with your Converse
And pretend like what we were doing didn’t mean anything.

Your compliments were virtual kisses.
Your carefully composed messages
Like the whispered caresses of a gentle lover.
Baby, just because we weren’t doing it didn’t mean I wasn’t feeling it.

Maybe you felt it too,
That thumping in my chest
A thousand butterflies with wings like lead
Beating against my heart.

Maybe you didn’t,
I don’t really care anymore,
But I want to remember this history lesson
Because when the next you comes around I want to know when to walk away
With this ring comes a promise. You must be willing to accept it before you wear it. The promise is to love me for as long as possible as I will you. To love me through all the hard times that are yet to come as I will you. To love me and nurture me back to health on the days where I am sick as I will you. To love me and comfort me when I need it as I will for you. But most of all when the day comes where all that matters to be said is “I do”  when I say those words you will not hesitate to say them back to me.

Our love is not fragile, it is not shallow. Our love is strong and none can fathom how deep.
Our love is not short, it is not passing. Our love is for a lifetime and it is here to stay.
Our love is not one sided, it is not full of doubt. Our love is open and it is built on trust.
Our love is not for you or for me. Our love is for US.


Some say that the journey into life begins when you first enter this world. I have a theory that there are multiple journeys of life in the life that you live. There is obviously the journey into becoming a adolescence and then teenager (it is coupled with school). When that ends there is the journey into adulthood (can be accompanied by but not limited to college, vehicles, taxes, jobs, stress). But I believe the two most important journeys in life are the ones about love. The first one begins when you are first born, the second one begins when you find the right person. The first one is finding the person you belong with that you love with every fiber of your being. The second journey is simply to spend the rest of your life with this person. And as I have went through both of these (the first being a bit rough to start) I ask you  to join me in starting the second journey of love. I want you to be my lifelong partner in exploring the world.


If you choose to make this promise all you have to do is put this ring on your finger, and I will be yours for life.
I wrote this to go with a promise ring that I bought my girlfriend
Do the Christian thing
confound them while
they’re young.

Put God in the filing cabinet
that is the four-year-olds mind,
in the G’s right after
Easter bunny and just before
Love.

There is no work of fiction
where the answers will be found.
Do not waste this life trying
to turn the next one around.
1 girl 2 girl 3 girl 4, how many more?
Sweetie I didn't start this war.
Do I need to spell out what you are to me now?
Nothing, you've hit your all time low, can you feel the blow?
Even through it all, I stand pretty tall.
Words that once cut me so deep...just seem to f
                                          a
                                                 l
                                                              l.
                                                higher.
                                        higher
            You said I'd fail, but now I soar, higher
And I laugh because you were such a horrible liar.

Amusing? Isn’t it, please don't tell me what you'll say next,
   Cause this has just turned into a guessing game,
what girls name will I hear next?
I always fell right back to you like gravity.
But after a while, it just felt like I was in captivity.
Why do you like the way regret taste?
Because now I realize how believing in you was a complete waste.



But now I'm fine, no now I'm divine.
So thanks for making me that much stronger, cause I wasn't going to hold on any longer.
But I could go on all day about what a cheating coward you are,
Believe me.
But this is all I need to say..
You thought you were sneaky, but when all this ended..
who's heart really needed to be mended?
