A life is a stepping stone of regrets.
If you keep looking at it wrong.
Premature hindsight.
Never knowing how these stones will change us.
For the better, if you let it.

I'm still learning.

So just don't give up on me yet.
Even if I'm one of your regrets.
Or we're yet to meet.
I'll be one of your tests.

I'm Sorry.

You gave me a shirt,
Old and tattered…
Once a favorite of yours.
Holes in places, faded all over;
Words under a cup stating
"Half full".
It was so ironic,
And it made me laugh;
I guess that's all it takes.
I was low, and you were generous,
And that half-empty glass
Would have taunted me
Had it not been for the words
Reminding me otherwise.
That Life is Good shirt
Will never leave me.
lmt
and every time
you break my heart,
i learn to bleed
in *prettier patterns.
i miss you and i know that being apart is a bad idea.

You
Your beauty brightens the darkest night,
Your face it shines, your eyes delight,
My door for you will always be ajar,
When I gaze in your eyes I gaze afar,
When I think of you my jewel, my gem,
You fill the ink well for my pen,
My inspiration, that's what you are,
My motivation, my twinkling star.
Your hands, your feet, your mouth, your hair,
Your slender fingers, your tender care,
In your creation god smiled with glee,
In you he takes pride, all will agree,
With brightened glance and softened voice,
If between you and the world I had the choice,
There would be no competition between you and them,
My precious jewel, my perfect gem.
And now as I lie before I sleep,
A thought of you in my heart I'll keep,
Maybe I'll be lucky to see you in a dream,
Oh then when I sleep how my face will gleam,
My memories of you I'll cherish forever,
The times when we laughed and smiled together,
You mean much more than you'll ever know,
To the ends of reason, for you I'd go.

— The End —
