Maybe its time for a little patience.

Say whats on your mind, don't make me guess.

i wish i could read you like you can read me.

This is the brand new start, this is the life i've always wanted.

Let me go. Your pulling is tearing me apart.

I WANT TO DO THIS. I WANT TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
but in all honesty, i'm terrified i can't do it.

Here's to a new stage, a new life, a new everything. i'm eradicating the worn stones, cleansing the venom from my veins. Rebirth from rebirth-- the phoenixes are never just born twice. So here it comes, the battlecry that has been steaming in my veins until the blood boils with a passionate heat that will overcome my everything.

i want to be that person.
God willing, i will be that person.

i am not afraid.
i am not alone.
i am not another existence to pass unnoticed.

Thank you, sunsets. Your light has warmed cold skin for oh so long.
Thank you, dark nights. Your chill has given meaning to aching bones.
And thank you, new dawns. i exist for you.

BRING IT ON BABY.

offer it up

So when the sky is falling, don't look outside your window.

There has to be fate. There just has to. Why else can two strangers make eye contact from across a room, and know that without a doubt they are meant to be friends? Why is it that someone can repeatedly reappear in another's life, even when they are trying desperately to stay away?

And why is it that there are these beautiful moments where someone you hardly know, a complete and total stranger, a face, a name, a meaningless existence to you-- can walk by and take with them every breath you had, so that you are left staring silently and gawking?

Well i am not that foolish, shy, embaressed little girl i was before. You can't take the breath from my lungs so easily as the last time you came around.

But i still remember every second with you. You still command my everything with the blink of an eye.

So here is my offer.
Let's skip the awkward conversation, and the slow get-to-know-each-other's. And go straight to the part where we're exactly what each other needs.
