"I Need You So Much...

"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.

"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"

"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."

"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."

"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.

"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."

"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."

"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.

"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.

"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."

"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."

"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."

"I don't regret you, you showed me that true love was real, beautiful and painful. I'll find it somewhere else someday.

If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't be looking.

Thank you."

My Hearts Thoughts

Hope builds slowly..

"When does the hurt end?" I think as I see his blue hat, I remember feeling blessed with his memory when he gave it.

Now it's a reminder of all that I've lost, all that he lost and doesn't care about.

But one day I search for a hat to wear and see I have more than just that one,

There's memories attached to the bucket hat, the banana hat and the one from the place I used to work.

Today I choose banana hat and remember my sisters laugh when she saw it. We were just starting out in the world, but we were building it slowly.

I put it own and it reminds me I'm more than others fingerprints.

I am my own, and I will find many more happy sunrises with other people.

It happens slowly, but if you just keep going it ends, I promise.

She ran away from everything that hurt her, even herself.

Each time I try to get up, your memory comes back & throws me back down to this pit of missing you. When does this heartbreak end?

"My mistake was never loving him. It wasn't the times I cried over him;

It was all those times he apologized and I gave him a 'second chance', letting him hurt me more as if I was a punching bag for him to push his stresses into.

Never let it get that far.

Never."

"I've loved you so much, too bad I still do. If I didn't, we'd be friends."

- My Hearts Thoughts

I really do love him, you know that right?" I sobbed through my hands while sitting on my bed with my best friend. "I know." She rubbed my back in attempt to calm me down. I was crying over that idiot for the thousandth time, and everytime I had to ask my friend if she knew I loved him. I felt like he didn't know, because him knowing and still hurting me like he did with his cold actions was too much. He couldn't have hurt me if he knew, right? I hoped not.

My Hearts Thoughts

Who needs love?" We all do. Some of us just weren't ready for the struggle in it.
