I always thought I needed someone to make me happy,I always thought I needed to find love and it would all fall into place,I always thought I needed to keep my emotions in check in order to hide that unhappiness,I always thought I needed to be everything my partner wanted,I always thought I needed to…

Sweet Surprise
Sweet, sweet surprise,The depth of my feelings for you, Was something I never prepared for,I am a planner, I think ahead, I organize and I execute,Surprises aren’t my think, It requires me to let go andRelinquish control,You flew into my life, At a time when I was leaving it all up to fate,To see what…

You are always on my mind,People say that, but for me, it is 100% true, As my eyes open in the morning, I immediately think about you at work,How did you sleep, are you busy, are you stressed?Are you thinking of me? You are always on my mind. I drive down the road and spot…

The other day, I marvelled at the beauty of a tree in the autumn light,Its red leaves glowing in the distance,I stopped and smiled at nature’s beauty, But also at just how contrasting the red was against the sky,I vowed to return in a day or two to take its picture,Except the next day, none…

I forgot what it felt like,to laugh,Not a low chuckle on your own,Or a small smile stretching across your face,A deep, body contorting laugh, A laugh shared with someone else,One that is felt so acutely, tears expel from your body,Laughter where you actually feel your mood lifting,Changing your chemicals,Transforming the composition in your veins,I forgot…

Moody
Struggling to balance my head and my heart, Feeling tired, overwhelmed and cooped up, Floating, suspended in my thoughts and feelings, Not sure if I’m going up or down, Knowing the feelings will disappear in time, But sinking deeper and deeper into them, Thinking thoughts normally not my own, Who is this negative person, I…
