Happy 7th Anniversary
There are moments that are seared into our hearts, unforgettable.
A beginning. An end. So important our soul takes a picture.
When he came home from war, was my moment. I remember the feel of his arms as they came around me, lifting me off the ground; the scratch of his stubble against my chin, the smell of his skin, the feel of gritty sand beneath my hands.
I can't remember what he said. Or

A Marine
He’s covered in dust and sand
He’s tired
The sounds of explosions
Of shouting
Still ringing in his ears
When he closes his eyes
He sees blood
The marred body of his friend
Twisted metal aflame
His hand shakes as he picks up the phone
His heart pounds with equal fear and anticipation
He can’t even remember what time it is there
But he needs her now
When she answers
He’s tired
The sounds of explosions
Of shouting
Still ringing in his ears
When he closes his eyes
He sees blood
The marred body of his friend
Twisted metal aflame
His hand shakes as he picks up the phone
His heart pounds with equal fear and anticipation
He can’t even remember what time it is there
But he needs her now
When she answers

Losing You
I carry this scar
With me always
Sometimes though it’s faded
Pushed to the far corner of my mind
Something small, something simple
A book, a song, a picture, a piece of a memory
Makes it ache anew
I don’t think I’ll ever get over
Losing you
With me always
Sometimes though it’s faded
Pushed to the far corner of my mind
Something small, something simple
A book, a song, a picture, a piece of a memory
Makes it ache anew
I don’t think I’ll ever get over
Losing you

Touch
His touch is soft, gentle
A delicate caress
His love is tender, thoughtful, and reverent
His hands worship every curve
But his gaze never falters
His grip never loosens
His kiss is just hungry and firm enough
To tell me
There’s never been anyone else
That he’ll never let me go
A delicate caress
His love is tender, thoughtful, and reverent
His hands worship every curve
But his gaze never falters
His grip never loosens
His kiss is just hungry and firm enough
To tell me
There’s never been anyone else
That he’ll never let me go

Coming Home Teaser
Cassie’s brows knitted together as she frowned. She’d known Kyle all her life. And she knew he was hiding something. “Kyle?”
Kyle cleared his throat and focused his blue eyes on her, “Huh?”
She narrowed her eyes and studied him a moment. He exchanged a worried look with Kendra, and the whole bar could practically see the light bulb that clicked over her head. Cassie stood up quickly, the barstool

On My Knees
I've questioned you
Your existence
Your forgiveness
Your reasons
Your love
But most of all
I've questioned
Why I need you
And then the storm comes
A hurricane of worry, fear, and regret
Desperation to weave together
The thin threads of hope
And then a tiny miracle
With tears in my eyes
I fall to my knees
I lift up my hands
I pray
Your existence

Your love

Desperation to weave together
The thin threads of hope

I lift up my hands

A young girlWith pretty blonde hairAnd soft blue eyesPraysEverydayWhen a boy breaks her heartWhen a friend does tooThrough the uncertaintyThrough the rain
A young womanWith dark blonde hairAnd soft blue
