All I need is a friend

Sometimes I will do it all.
The hard part.
I make plans
I put myself out there

And I cancel.

Because as trapped as I feel in this little room,
As horrible as I feel right now,
I am not ready to even look at the road less traveled.

I am not ready

And I will not take a leap

Not when I keep falling.
Will Rogers III Feb 2015
Someday
I'll be with someone else
Who I'll love more
Than I ever loved you
More than I ever dreamed of loving you

Someday
You will find someone
Who will love you more
Than I ever did
More than I ever dreamed of

Someday
Your memories of me
Will be like those of high school
There, but nowhere near the front
I'm just the guy who loved you in and after college.

Someday
My pain will go away
And I'll have new prayers to pray
You won't be on my mind,
You'll be hard to find
You'll no longer be inside

But right now it hurts
Like a splinter I can not pull out
And right now it is here
Like my reflection in a lake
I've seen before

Someday
You'll be nothing but
Small smiles

I can not cry enough years full of tears
To make that day come sooner,
But I can put paint on walls all night
And pray to God all day

And hope that something will change
That I'll be able to say
More than "Goodbye" to you
someday

I can never forget that first moment I saw you
after the six years of being away from you.
The moment I saw your silhouette
in the window,
I knew my life was forever changed.
The way the sun shined upon you
was like magic.
It was like seeing an angel.

There may be distance between us now,
but I just want you to know that I miss you very much.
You are the person I think of
when I go on morning walks.
You are the person I think of
when I see the sun peeking through the blinds.
You are the person I think of
when I hear a mocking bird outside my window.

It is you. It was always you.

As you spread your love through time,

Allowing me to see visions of
Your remarkable and troubled past,

By raising my head and looking at you,
I have seen a miracle being born,

A miracle rise through fire, pain and with courage,
Looking at your beauty sets my heart on fire,

That brightens my life,
And warms my Soul every day,

Allowing me sleep and dream of you,

I know time can move so slow, as slow as watching a city grow,
It seems tomorrow will never come,

But true love is a Miracle of its own;
Like a bright blazing Sun at Dawn,
After a cold winter snow storm,
That warms our hearts,

After that June day,
Thousands of days have past,
I still have an unending passion for you,

I raise my head at Dawn and look, as the blazing Sun carries,
Your love to me,
Far from the East.

Even though you’re
975 miles away
I know you will be
My valentine someday
I miss her so much.
Ronald J Chapman Feb 2015
As I stand in front of you,
Looking at a beautiful view,

Your silhouette seems so familiar to me,
Looking at a Miracle in front of me,

Closing my eyes,
I think, is this but only a dream?

I have misty memories of you,
From so very long ago,

Everything feels very familiar,
I missed many chances to be with you,
I let them just pass by,

I was afraid the red thread, that connected,
our hearts broke and let me go,

I felt lost in this life,
Until other Souls brought me
Back home to you,

I have nothing to give up but my life for you,
I don't want to be lost again,

While wiping away my tears from my eyes,
I am happy; to be back home.

I will marry a man,
Who will never let me go to sleep angry,
A man who will hang up the phone,
Then call back right away to apologize.
I will marry a man,
Who never tells me I'm too small,
And never forget to say "I" in front of "love you,"
A man who isn't afraid to kiss me,
Every hour of every day, regardless
Of our surroundings.
I will marry a man,
Who wants to travel with me,
And explore the world,
But knows exactly when I need to stay home.
A man who never judges me weakness,
Or tells me my worries are "wrong,"
But a man who holds me,
Whenever I'm falling apart,
And is never afraid,
To fight for me.
I will marry a man who is all these things,
And somehow even more.
Yet part of me,
Still hopes I'll be marrying you.
The tears leave paths
down my face
across my self
Cutting deep in grooves
Indentations
where I can still feel
You

Your touch
running across my cheeks
falling
I walk down those trails
aimlessly
because you are still
there

I want you to need me like you need an ice cold drink on a hot summer's day
I want you to want me like you do at the first whiff of bacon on a Sunday wafting through the house
Though we haven't met yet

I hope you look at me and lose your breathe but never question it
I hope when silence falls on our conversations that you just wrap me up in your arms
Not because I can't handle the silence but to remind me that it's ok

And I hope that when you notice the scars across my skin
that you will still caress my body and remind me that my scars do not make me who I am but are proof of how strong I am

And I hope that when I stand in the mirror examining the outfit choice that I can't seem to make clearly That you pull me away from the mirror  
away from the societal norms of beauty and ask me to flip a coin because in that moment I will remember who I am and what I want to wear.

I know it's a lot to ask of a man I've yet to meet
but don't worry I've got a lot to offer too.

I will hold your hand at all the parties your friends invite you to
I will hold you when you feel as if your world is collapsing around you I will remind you to breathe when your lungs are so full of sorrow and pain that they have forgotten to work for you
And when you can breathe again I will remind you of the beauty of this world
And of the joys of smiling and laughter
I can cook you dinner after a long day at work to remind you that you are important to someone in this world.
I know that it's a lot to offer someone I haven't met yet
but when we find each other
our real life fairy tale will begin
