Settling


Current mood: tired

I strive to see the good in others
Even when the truth is in front of me
Are they struggling to get all of theirs
When I'm settling for just some of mine?

...just a bit of something that popped into my head. Wanted to jot it down before I forgot it... It might come up again as part of something else... but for now, that's all I got.

sdrawkcaB: future to past


Current mood: hopeful

I feel your hands reach around me

I lean back into your embrace

My head rests on your chest

Your breath is warm on my cheek

As you kiss me softly

Your hands travel lower

I feel you caress our child

That grows inside me

I close my eyes

And think of all the years

That brought us to this place

There have been times of loneliness

For you and for me

But ever since our souls met

We knew the ache of being alone

Would cease to harm us

We never assumed that love like this could exist

Or that we would be pledging today

To spend the rest of our lives together

The butterflies stir in my stomach

Each time I pick up the phone to call you

The thought of hearing your voice for the first time

Sends chills down my spine

I dial the number again

But hang up as it starts to ring

I'm not sure if I want to take the leap

To find out if this one is for me

I dial one more time

And pray for your voicemail to pick up

Looking for a man

Is like throwing darts at a board

Blindfolded

Hit or miss is the name of the game

I try them on like jeans

In the dressing room of life

I toss them aside when something isn't right

They love my curves but I hate their length

I love their color but they hate my hips

Does one exist that complements me?
