Since In Pieces was posted today I will, of course, be doing nothing else except refreshing the page every five minutes, all day long, to see the updated view counts.

Questioning Hope

What is hope Really What does it mean? Is it a whisper, Is it a dream Is it a goal, Not quite set Or a distant need Need yet met? What is hope Really What does it mean Is it that unfulfilled wish Or the prayer that you mean What is hope Really To me or to you What is its importance What does it do? Does living without it Mean that I’ll die Without ever daring To look life in the eye?

Forward.

I’m coming to terms with the idea that if you decided to walk away, I’d do everything possible to keep moving forward. I’m in a place in my life where I need to look out for myself, my own sanity and well-being. This whole relationship has revolved around you, not because that’s what you wanted but because it’s the truth. The ball has always been in your court, the one thing that’s not yours, is my self-worth. And I intend to keep that intact.

Show up.

I felt true loss today. I put myself in a situation to think that you were gone. It forced me to realize something. To never give up, to keep fighting no matter how much you push me away. Because in these moments, you need someone to love you. You need someone to not give up on you, someone to stay constant and be present. So, today I’m showing up for you. Tomorrow I will show up for you and I will continue to show up for you, even if it kills me.

Love.

I love the way you look at me, like I'm your partner. I love the way you feel against my skin, as if our bodies are perfectly aligned. I love the way you laugh, the way it reverberates through my whole body. I love the way you make me laugh, like I can't take a breath of air. I love the way you're so unsure, because it means that you're constantly fighting to choose me. I love the way you sleep, as if nothing in the world could hurt you. I love the way you care for me, like nothing can ever hurt me. I love the way you love our dogs, as if they're the most precious beings in the world. I love that you won't give up, because I won't give up either.

Choices.

I have a choice, to walk away or stay. I chose to stay.

Love pushes you to keep going, to keep fighting and to never sway.

Love is a choice and I choose you, forever and always.

Stars.

I feel as if I’m slowly peeling your layers. I’m starting to see you again, feel you again and I’m hopeful. There’s progression, that means everything to me because it shows that we’re getting better. I want us both to succeed, in all that we do. I believe we’re each others person, the person that builds us up and keeps us afloat. The person that shows us life isn’t just what we see but it’s much more than that. We’re capable of being unstoppable, we just need to keep reaching for the stars together.

Layers.

You have layers upon layers of guilt, insecurities, demons and self-hatred built up. Layers that prevent me from reaching you, layers that block my words, love and actions. You push me away because you’re hesitant and unsure of yourself, but you project that onto our relationship. The issue isn’t with our relationship, the issue lies within your own soul. You are scared of commitment, scared of failure, scared of shit getting real. I am real and I am not going anywhere. I will become the rock, the foundation and hold us up until we can stand together. I will become better, stronger and wiser, you will too. We are going to get through this because no matter how much shit I have to dig through, I’m going to find you. You’re going to see the light again, your heart will awaken and the love, REAL love that comes forth, will carry us for the rest of our lives. You just need to believe in me, believe in yourself, believe in us. Believe that these layers will no longer stop you.
