Your unconditional love seems too rare to believe, so I lie awake, persuading myself that this is real.

One day, you will fulfill every dream you’ve believed is far too unreachable. 

Date someone who is willing to put you first.

We transform their pain into passion, using our love to overcome every ounce of their hatred.

But I can no longer live under the weight of our deafening silence, wishing I could reach out, constantly pulling back.

All that remains is us, standing under the vibrant night sky, watching a roaring neon spectacle brighten the stars.

I’ve been blessed with abundance, trinkets glimmering in silver and gold. 

Take me back to that Sunday when everything in life felt right, like there was nothing left for us to change as we revealed our deepest fears.

I often fear that it’s only a matter of time before everyone leaves me, but as long as I continue sharing my heart, the right people will stay and hold my hand along the way.

In 2019, I will recognize my worth, striving to achieve my dreams, refusing to accept use and abuse in a frantic attempt to fill the void that penetrates my soul.

I savor you from afar, relishing in every moment you remain nestled in the deepest reaches of my mind, but I long for you to arrive at midnight, our hearts beating as one as we reunite.

Instead of harping on the negative aspects of every blessing in your life, seek out the positive.
