Reach

If I could reach out and grab your hand now, I don’t know if I could ever let go.
If I could reach you with my words, I’m not sure if I’d have the words to say what I couldn’t then.
If I could reach out and touch your heart, I’d try and mend the wounds that I caused.
If I could I could just reach you, I swear I wouldn’t leave again.

Know more

It takes only a second to meet someone.
A chance encounter in an elevator.
Maybe you walk up to the bar at the same time.
Or perhaps you sit down on the subway and they take the seat next to you.
Regardless of the circumstances, it only takes a second for you to notice them.
In that second you know if there is something worth holding your attention. In the second you know whether you smile or turn away.
In that second you know if you want to know more.

Not alone

It is when we feel the most alone that we see who is truly our friends.
It is in those moments of doubt that those who support us make their presence known.
In those times where we know not where to turn, they make sure that we find our way.
They are there to say the words we may not want to hear but they know we need to hear.
Or maybe with no words at all but just the actions to let us know we are not alone.
It is in when we feel the most alone that we are truly not.

In a new light

The one you love today is not the one you loved yesterday.
Don’t let the person you’re with now pay for the sins of past loves.
No matter how much you’ve hurt, how much you’ve lost, how much you’ve given up of who you are, it’s not the persons fault you’re with now.
They weren’t the ones who lied.
They weren’t the ones who cheated.
They weren’t the ones who betrayed.
They are the ones who are there now.
The ones standing by your side.
The ones supporting you.
The ones who are loving you.
Just like you are one of a kind, so are they.
They deserve a chance to prove they can love you the way you need.
They deserve an open mind and an equally open heart.
See them for who they are and not who you’ve been with.

The Wants and Needs of the Heart

Why is it as people we find it so difficult to separate what we need from what we want?
In some aspects of life we find it quite simple.
We have the needs of a roof over our heard a, clothes on our backs and food on the table.
We want the nicer things and luxuries but we know the difference.
If we know the difference when it comes to the material then why do we find it so hard to know the difference when it comes to the emotional?
We need to be loved, we need to trust, and we need to feel wanted.
Yet our wants blind us to out needs.
Some want to have someone who makes us feel lust instead of passion.
Someone who will make us feel accomplished instead of appreciated.
We want someone who makes us feel as if others envy us instead if someone who makes us feel safe.
We have no one to blame but ourselves because it is ourselves who stand in our own way.
It isn’t until we can separate the needs of our hearts from the wants of our insecurities or our desires that we can honestly find what we deserve and what we need.
