pensive

sometimes the only arms that can hold you long enough and tight enough, are your own.

forever occurs in an instant. the word disappears in the air. fades. even if it's tattooed upon your skin.

the only place fair exists is in the dictionary. even there it is, as it is in life, contradicted, conflicted irony.

it is ego and pride, not love, that weighs more heavily upon our hearts and dictates our actions.

that inner voice, no matter how silent, never lies... it's just schizophrenic.

follow the feet, not words, no matter how beautifully and sweetly the lips move.

fear destroys loving bonds more then any emotion, as most are rooted and grow from it.

they didn't lie. it is a season. there are no reasons or justifications. life happens the way it's suppose to, it changes without our assistance and permission.

life's moments come and we can never re-live them, so enjoy them as they occur not in memory.

we live learn and grow for that i will always be eternally grateful

i'm learning, painfully and joyfully, but i'm learning.
yes, we must enjoy the moments....

Kimmie-I might have to print this out and put it in a frame with your permission. I need to remember all this.
