Everywhere
Kiss me in the rain, Love, quiet my fears with the light in your eyes. Take me everywhere with you, tie my hand to yours.
I want to step on the grass with you, walk across bridges with you, wait for sunrises with you, explore the woods with you, walk along shorelines with you, get sunburnt in the sea with you. I want to kiss you as suns set, lie beneath the stars with you, wake up from a dreamless sleep with you, take afternoon naps with you, dance in the rain with you, look down at fluffy clouds with you, paint walls blue and rose with you, marvel inside art museums with you, have lunch in Prague with you, look up at the Eiffel Tower with you, enter Thai temples with you, twirl spaghetti in Italy with you, gasp at the Stone Henge with you.
I want to be silly with you, cry buckets over sad movies with you, leap over puddles with you, hide in the shadows with you, run distances with you, let my hair loose and be free with you, learn the constellations with you, read poetry with you, listen to guitar strains and drumbeats with you, slow dance with you, fall asleep beside the sea with you, get drunk in a bar and go home with you, spend lazy weekends with you, look down from rooftops with you, climb trees with you, visit musty, old libraries with you, walk down tree-lined paths with you, dance beneath wisteria-wrapped bowers with you, carve names and hearts on tree trunks with you.
Take me everywhere, Love. Or just somewhere. Because somewhere--anywhere--with you is everywhere.
Anywhere with you is everywhere. The line that immortalizes the love we share
ReplyDeleteEvery now and then, I just go back and read this beautiful masterpiece that you have created. It envelopes the dreams we share, the memories that we made together, and the best days we are yet to make.
We have gone a long way from watching stars and skyscrapers. Climbing trees and sharing good laughs in one of the most magnificent gardens in the world. A long way since we shared our first breakfast together I remember running uphill Park st. to get us 2 great cups of Vittoria at George, the same coffee we shared in the gardens. I was the first customer in the shop and was wearing the biggest smile. The barista gave me a good nod and I told him that I just woke up to the best morning of my life. He said he will make the coffee extra special for me. Going back to your place, I helped 2 elderly couple cross the street and greeted every person I passed by. I was definitely a changed man, It was the start of a new me. I can genuinely smile again. This was our start.
I always go back to that day to reflect on how we ended a year’s struggle of hiding how we felt for each other. It enlightens me every now and then to see how beautiful life can be. From that point I wanted all of my mornings to be as perfect as that moment.
We never fail to tell each other that we were ling the best times of our lives together; that we will someday be free of all the worldly stress that surrounds us. That someday we will settle near a beach and live a peaceful life (You writing and me just being a bum – Because you are some damn good at it Love). We will have our coffee shop in town and make the best love in a cup. These moments never left me, it gives me the inspiration to be strong and believe that we will get there.
We have gone a long way love; we made great moments and had several bumps along the way. But we are still here, breathing the same love we share. We have definitely gone through a lot over the past few months Love, good or bad we held our hands together and faced it head on. There were times where we almost gave up there were times when we feel we will never get through. In these moments of hesitation and sadness, I always go back to “Everywhere”.
Hold on Love, be strong and believe. We can still paint the skies with our stars and live the very reason of everywhere.
I love you so much Love. I am still and will forever be yours.
If you are stuck in a cross road, how do you decide on what direction you need to take?
ReplyDeleteBeing in this situation is sometime the least wanted setting any person would want and decisions made during these situations define who we really are. Do we take the easy way out or do we risk it all in hopefully finding eternal fulfillment.
Do we have to consider everything that happened to us in the past? Do we weigh our options or do we take that leap of faith?
Recently, I found myself stuck in this predicament. I have made my decision, but I wanted to walk you through the process of how I made my choice.
It all started when I was very young. I made mistakes that led me to live the life I am currently in. I spent years calculating, rationalizing and living the life I am in. Then suddenly out of nowhere I met a very special person that showed me that there is a better way of living my life. I learned to appreciate things that I though was too complicated for me to even understand. I did things I wouldn’t normally do and I enjoyed doing so. In short, I found a new way to live – I found myself in love.
I can definitely say that being with her are the best moments of my life, despite misunderstandings and conflict brought about by the situation we are in, I told myself that I will never give up on what we have. All of a sudden I found myself reevaluating who I really am.
I am a man who has lived my life in responsibilities, often carrying the burden of other people and giving whatever I had to them. This may seem to be a good trait but then I suddenly felt the emptiness of not caring for myself and what I really want. She opened the door for me to start learning to appreciate myself as a person, sometimes to the point of hurting her own emotions. We shared a love that a lot of people spend a lifetime finding.
I am now at the dreaded crossroad. It took me time to decide where I was going; I was again back to my old paranoid self, calculating, rationalizing things to help me make my decision. Then thinking about her made me realize that it’s not really hard to be in that predicament. I just had to follow my heart. I took the path less travelled but I am not alone. I know she is with me holding my hand and helping me through any obstacles life will throw.
Come to think of it, it actually not hard for me to make my choice. She was right beside me all along awakening my senses to things that really matter. The key to sorting this all out is to drop the thought that we are invincible and can make these decisions on our own. That should be the case for every one. We need to realize that we can’t handle things alone and that we need someone to help us through. I hope we all find what we are looking for and see beyond what is in front of us.
Love, I am travelling with you through this rough patch of our lives. I promise that I will never let go of your hand and that we will see ourselves through. I am never going to lose hope that someday, my brightest star will guide me all the way. The sky tonight is very dark, but I see your light shining through. I will be with you and the only way this would end is when I take the last gasp of my breath.
