Longing for You
Every moment, every breath, your name is in my mind, on my lips. In the quiet and the chaos, it's you I always find. The world feels empty when you are gone, and shadows form where light should be.

Holding Onto Hope
Every day I get tempted to call. I'm scared of how you'll respond. I'm not ready for it. My birthday was two day ago. I wasn't expecting your message or call. Truthfully speaking, I doubt you even remembered it was my birthday. You always forget important dates and anniversaries. Today I have nothing much to… Continue reading Holding Onto Hope
