The Men I’ve Met.

For me, love, above all else, should inspire.

I haven’t met that man yet.

I’ve met the childish one that wants you to do everything for him.

I’ve met not ready, but plays with the idea of being ready.

I’ve met can’t talk about my feelings.

I’ve met unfaithful.

I’ve met blame everything on you.

I’ve met can’t have an adult conversation/argument without mentioning a break-up.

I’ve met childhood trauma that they haven’t healed from yet.

I’ve met you should’ve stayed the fuck away from me.

I’ve met the alcoholic.

I’ve met I’m just wasting your time until the next best thing comes along.

I’ve met I just want somebody – it doesn’t really matter if its you.

But I have YET to meet – because of my love, I inspire you, daily, to be a better you.

And that’s okay.

Did I mention I was 31, and that most days I feel like I don’t have a damn thing figured out.

Be patient.

Don’t rush it.

It’s coming.

–S.

Overnight Bags.

You make me happy.

I don’t know why I can’t just shut off my brain and keep my heart working instead.

Scientifically, because one cannot function without the other.

I want to be one in this happiness. I want to live in it.

I want to dwell in it, but my brain develops pictures of the future, and I can’t see you in them.

I’ve packed your bags, although you’ve just arrived.

They say what we love, we leave behind.

Maybe, I just won’t tell you that I love you.

–S.

I hope you find your love song.

At the end of the day – as much as I hate to say it – we are not meant for each other.

It would be unfortunate for us to force something that was never meant to be.

When love comes for me, I won’t have to enhance it by painting it more beautifully in my mind.

Love will paint me – in brighter colors, I will be born again.

Although it was never me, I hope you find whatever it is you’re searching for.

I wish your heart peace, and I hope you’re able to trust another with your heart.

Love is not meant to be a one-sided emotion. That’s why it hurts so much for many of us, you know? When you are in love together, that’s what the songs are about.

I know that music is very important to you – as it is for me.

So, I hope you find your love song. May it never lose its charm.

Each time you play it, may it bring you every last feeling and sensation that you felt the very first time you heard it.

–S.

Dreaming.

I dreamed that we could always be that close.

That I would always be the one that your heart desired, that it loved.

That we played together, that we laughed.

That when one of us was down, the other was always around to bring them up.

I dreamed of giving my virginity to you.

of you being the one for me, forever.

Just one. The first and the last.

I dreamed of you as the perfect husband and devoted father.

Affectionate.

I dreamed that our chemistry never faded.

That it always burned as brightly as it ever did.

I dreamed your laugh forever.

I dreamed your smile.

I dreamed your love.

I dreamed your touch.

I dreamed your weight on top of me.

–S.
