I’ll See You Again, Some Day

You know they said
We had our whole lives ahead
But look at it now
It’s torn into shreds

I know you’re with me
Every minute of every day
But sometimes it’s hard
To believe it’s that way

I just want to call so bad
I want to hear your voice
But I’m stuck with pictures
They’re my only choice

To hug you once more
May put me at ease
But I’d probably want more
I’d never be pleased

I’ve never felt such pain
Though I thought I knew before
I want to be happy-
Not feel this anymore

I know you’re in a great place
It doesn’t keep me from missing
The experiences we could be having
While together reminiscing

For now I’ll have to go on
Believing that you’re okay
And that hopefully
I will see you again some day

Used to Be

You used to be my brother
You used to be my friend
But then fate stepped in
And put that to an end

Sometimes it’s so unreal
To think that you aren’t there
To know we can’t talk anymore
Is a thought that I can’t bare

I often find myself thinking
How would today be different
If only you were here
With no stupid accident

Sometimes I feel anger
But never towards you
I’d just like to know why
What did we do?

My heart is aching
My feelings jumbled
My dreams for the future
Have just crumbled

My friends have been supportive
But no one understands
Something like this
No one could have planned

I keep going back
To the time I last saw you
In that sterile room
No one even knew

Laying there so lifeless
Everything was a blur
Yet I kept on talking
Wondering where you were

Who you’d be right now
I shall never know
So I am forced
To continue with the flow

You came to me in a dream
Telling me not to worry
That you are safe now
And no longer in a hurry

I always used to think
We’d have so much more time
But that was cut short
So now I write this rhyme

I thought that I’d be able
To talk to you once again
Just like we did
Way back when

I though we had years
To share with each other
But now it’s just me
Alone without a brother

I’m That Girl

I’m the girl who..

Finds stupid things funny
Laughs in dead silence
Can’t find the words to say
Without some guidance

Thinks so much better
Writing in poetry form
Is happiest when
The weather is warm

I’m the girl who..

Wonders when life
Will begin to make sense
Needs to relax
Can be too tense

Puts off an appearance
Of a big ego-type
Plays along with trends
But doesn’t get the hype

I’m the girl who..

Is so different
Yet so much the same
Tries so hard not to
Get stuck playing games

Thinks too much
But not enough
Is always the one
Trying  to be tough

I’m the girl who..

Falls too quickly
Loves too hard
Sometimes just can’t
Drop that guard

Used to be care-free
But wound up hurt
Tries to play nice
But ends up in the dirt

I’m the girl who..

Has ups and downs
But wouldn’t trade those
For a life full of
Striking a pose

Needs some reminding
Of the gifts of life
And once reminded
Knows they are rife

I’m the girl who..

Is finally starting
To see myself
As a girl worth more
Than being placed on a shelf

Yeah, I’m that girl. 

Liebe.

Can’t We Just Talk?

It seems that these days the only way people keep up with each other is through some sort of modern technology. Whether it’s Facebook, Twitter, text messaging, or any of the numerous other “social” tools there are out there.

I am just as guilty as the next person of using these as my only way to keep in touch with old friends.

What is wrong with a phone call? It has become so rare in these times of rapidly advancing technology that a phone call is something some people dread. We make excuses; “I don’t have time,” “I was in a public place,” etc. When in reality, we do have the time, we’re just trying to avoid this most basic form of communication.

We use text messaging as an escape from possible social situations, so that we don’t have to feel awkward, or uncomfortable. There are so many new people we could be meeting, but we aren’t because we are so tied into our technology. 

Will the time come that we completely stop speaking to each other? We are already headed in that direction. Will we soon have a world of virtual friends, whom we have never met in person, and in fact would dread to meet?

It is so difficult to get to know someone for who they are, when all you see is their web page. It is too easy to send someone a text message, instead of calling them.

When will this obsession and addiction to technology stop? Why is it so hard to be the one who actually wants to talk on the phone? 

Can we slow down for a few minutes and think about this? 

Food for thought.

Putting Pieces Back Together

It’s been a while. So much has happened, yet it seems so difficult to sum it up into a few short paragraphs!

I’ve come to realize that friends are such a wonderful blessing. They can become your family without you even realizing it. It’s an amazing feeling when you realize you’ve become an honorary member of their family- their siblings become your siblings, their family stories become your family stories, and vice versa.

A few years ago, one of my best friends and I had a bit of a falling out. At the time, I did not have the confidence to explain to her why I felt we had suddenly drifted apart. It wasn’t really either of our faults, just the time in our lives that we were friends. Recently, she reached out to me, and I decided it was about time we sit down and talk about things. She is currently out of the country, so we will be meeting up when she returns. I am empowered, but at the same time very nervous about how things will go.

Only time will tell, but perhaps hurt feelings can start to heal, and friendship can begin to grow once more.

I recently went on a date with a man who I thought the world of. He was very smart, funny, incredibly sweet, handsome, etc. I get back home afterwards, and I don’t hear anything. My friends tell me it’s one of those stupid “games” and I’ll hear from him within the next few days. Those days go by, and still nothing. Finally, I get up the courage to send him a quick message and thank him for his time and let hi know I really enjoyed myself. It has now been a week since we went out, and still nothing. I understand he may not have felt any connection, but it is still nice to thank someone for their time… especially when they drive an hour to see you!

So, men out there, take this advice- When you take a girl out, always thank her afterwards for her time. Even if you never want to see her again! It’s just the polite thing to do!!

I have since been working on my approachability. No more of that “don’t talk to me” look or attitude! A lot of eye contact helps, too. You just have to be careful who you’re giving what signals to!

Still waiting for the first chapter of my love story to be complete…
