Relationship Status

I had recently changed my Facebook relationship status to “In a complicated relationship”. Now say what you want about your Facebook friends, but mine really are the best in the world! (even the people I frustrate every day with endless quotes from Buddha and Snoopy) My friends immediately surrounded me, like a wagon train, and…

Reach

Though broken, my heart soars Falling deeper into eyes that don’t see me Running on dreams destine to fail Falling like rain into the rivers of  my lost soul I reach for you and again you pull away Leaving the essence of fear in the air Is it fear or regret? Do you see me?…

You are here…

Sometimes you get that feeling. Maybe its nostalgia and maybe it’s regret. You try to fight it, ignore it but you just can’t seem to shake It. All you can do is smile and except the fact that the universe has a plan. It might not be what you had in mind, but look at the…

That Photo

Do you remember that day we were caught in the rain downtown? It seems like so long ago, we were so young. We had to duck into the doorway of an abandoned building. I had never wanted to kiss someone so badly in my life. I had never kissed anyone. Instead I reached for my…
