Finding The Woman I'm Meant To Be

Hide and Seek

Where did I go wrong?
I replay the moments in my mind.
I scared you off –
Let’s go back in time.

Please, not you.
Don’t run away – stay and fight.
You’re the only one I want this with! 
Please God, make this right.

Flying

Hours and hours of conversation
Questions answered without hesitation
Smiling so hard our cheeks are in pain
My new favorite song’s the sound of your name

Learning about you, new things each day
Refreshing and honest – you don’t shy away
Challenging me with all the right words
With just one smile you calm all my nerves

I am completely vulnerable
A naked feeling, while I’m fully clothed
These feelings we have are terrifying
Afraid of heights, but here we are flying

The men in my past have always lied –
To get in my pants, to get in my life
Said things they thought I wanted to hear
Took pieces of me and then disappeared

You call me gorgeous and say I’m sexy
For the first time, there’s no questioning –
What you say is what I believe
You’ve become someone important to me

I melt inside when I see your face
The sound of your voice, a familiar place
I’m giving in, my hearts on my sleeve;
An unexpected surprise – a find I hope you keep

Pleasantly Surprised 

There are some really great people in this world. It’s an easy thing to forget with all the hate and negativity out there, but it’s true. You just have to have a little faith, keep an open mind and look past the negativity. And, as hard as it is, sometimes it takes opening up your heart in order to see the good in people. It’s scary and risky. But to see the good, to feel the positivity and to allow yourself to smile again – it’s totally worth the risk.

Hearsay

They say time heals everything – I’m still waiting.

They say good things come to those who wait – yet here I am feeling the same.

They say what’s meant to be will find a way – no one is searching for the path to me.

They say travel the road less taken – I’m stuck here again on this dead end.

They say go after the things you want in life –
But what are you supposed to do,
when the things you want don’t want you?

Days End

When she laid
She let the weight of the day
Press to the mattress

Closed her eyes
Sent thanks to the big guy
And let her feet rest

Chasing dreams
Nothing ever as it seems
Getting lost in the night

At day’s end
Forgive, forget or pretend
Everything’s alright
