Describe the person you love

The person that I love is a woman and she is the most radiant woman that I have ever known. In a short amount of time, she is going to be on a plane on her way to my home to stay with me for a week. I already know that it’s going to be one of the best weeks of my entire life. Finally, everything that I have ever wanted is going to show up at my doorstep at 6 a.m. with cold hands, a warm heart, and an open mind to do whatever we want to do with our time together.

I’m writing this for everyone who never
seems to get the one that they want.
This is for the people who always seem
to love the wrong person for the 
right reasons. So if you’re reading this,
and what I’m saying relates to your
life than you should know that this 
is for you. You should know that you
don’t need to be loved to be happy,
and that you don’t need someone
to tell you that you’re beautiful to be
beautiful. You don’t have to change
how you look to someday be the light
in some persons eyes; you are radiant
enough as you are to make someone
stop in their tracks and to question
how someone is able to make the world
seem so small. So before you try
to change who you are to get someone
who won’t ever notice your new
haircut to see you for who you really are,
remember that there is only one
of you, and you are the only one who
is able to make you the happiest
that you have ever been.

When I look into your eyes
I can see the carefully crafted
life that we would have had
if you would have just let me
love you like I wanted to.

One of these days
you are going to
look back on all
of the love I once
gave to you, and
you are going to
wonder how you
could ever let go
of someone who
cared so much.

Don’t expect people to change just because time had to.

Don’t expect

I read into your words
in hopes to find
a deeper meaning
between the lines
of you trying to
convince yourself
that it’s really over
between us.

But you can write it out
as many times
as you’d like,
but we both know
that what we have
going on between us
is something that will
never end.

And I don’t know why
I keep doing this

When I was asked to say
the first word that came to
my mind when I thought of you,
I blurted out misery
when I meant to say
happiness, and I think
with that being said,
my mind made it
easier for the both of us.

“

Last night, I made a new years

resolution with myself,

and I made my head

and heart promise to never

think twice about breaking it,

or reading in-between

the lines of rules

that I set in stone.

This year, or what I told myself

when I was tipsy off of tequila,

I would rid myself of everyone

who could care less

about what I have to say,

and who’s emotions

always seem too synthetic

to actually be sincere.

So today, when I awoke

at 6 a.m. in a room

that smelled of regretful kisses

and misguided intimacy,

I felt my heart remove

all of the toxic waste

that my head considered

to be genuine understanding.

And now that it’s January 1st,

all that I can think about

is how I was ever able to

put-up with those who always

put themselves ahead of me.

And all I want to do is discipline

myself for ever thinking that they

would change just because time did.
