Sleepless…

I had trouble sleeping
When you appeared in front of me
Like you just knew I needed you
And there you were
To keep me company.

…because you love me…

the simple radiance of your smile
full of warmth knowing it’s for me…
the comfort of your hand on the small of my back
both leading and reassuring me…

Happy Anniversary!

how do i love you, let me count the ways…

i love you till the end of our beginning
when each chapter of our lives are closing
and all that we are is all that’s left
my love is way beyond our death.

God made a dog…

Whenever i’m surrounded by loving paws and fur and wet noses, I forget why I’m sad or pissed or lonely… Because God made a dog…

Renewed…

Ok, I have been a narcissistic, selfish, self-centered, egotistic, egocentric, and all other self-something and ego-something a$$h0le the past week or two. (Unfortunately though, I’d probably be one again in another couple of weeks and at least 1 whole week a month.)

Anyway, now that I have overcome that pain-and-hormone-induced mental and emotional affliction, and the walls I have unwittingly built around me now lay crumpled around my feet, with renewed eyes, I see what has been happening around me more clearly.

I am not the only one who is going through a difficult time, or has problems, or is hurting. But even though I was aware of this before, it has always been “I am hurting because someone I know is hurting“, or “I am sad because someone I know is going through a tough time“. It is not always about me. I shouldn’t be the one fishing for sympathy when it isn’t me whose heart is broken, or whose son is on the operating table. But now that I know better, I want to be more actively involved in their struggles, rather than making the struggles my own and reaping the empathy.

I want to be responsible in helping them and not just feel their pain because a sturdy, strong hand can do more than a sympathetic word could. Yes, that’s what I will do.
