You are my sunshine
warming my skin as you touch it

without you, my world grows cold and shady
the plants' aren't green,
and the birds won't sing to me in the morning.

the nights are starless,
clouded and cold.
with no sun the moon won't show.

My days will be rainy till you
come home.

but i always know you are there
right behind the clouds.

I’ve been trying to speak
But with you, I have no words
To express how I feel

For days I’ve been trying to say one
Simple
Thing

I question my self for wanting
To say this too soon

But with you, everything just feels
Right
Like there is no too soon
It’s always just right

Not having words to explain the
Feelings inside of me
Is not something I ever
Thought I would experience

But with you, I am comfortable in my own silence
But first I just have one thing to say,
I love you

Water has both the power of life
And of death

It is a gentle wave washing up on shore
And the beginning of all life

We cannot live without it
It holds the chemical balance within me

And yet in one surging wave
It can destroy everything in its path

~you were my glass of water, and are my tsunami

Just like the winter solstice
You just make my days brighter
The sun shines more headily
Coffee tastes better

But just like the summer solstice
When u walk away
The nights for darker and colder
The dread of icy roads ahead.

But the in between
The spring and autumn solstice
Were full of fun and adventurous night
Where we didnt have a care in the world about the light and dark
Solstice love remorse missing spring fall summer winter

We walked side by side
For 12 years
But your story has ended
And a new chapter has started

For years I heard your stories
Rode along for your adventures
In far off lands
Beyond the magic curtain

And now It is my turn
To venture off into
The unknown that is
My future

The stories of evading
ungers and izzards
Turned in to
Unwritten essays

As I remember
Your Stories
Instead of creating
Mine own

Walk along with me
My friend
As we both head out
Into the unknown

We are at the end of an era
And with the end of one
Comes anew

Traditions are not something to take lightly
Not something that can come and go
Call me old fashioned but like
Sapphires passed through generations
Memories and family
Traditions stand strong in a community built
Respect for those who came before
And a promise for the future
To continue on
Through the hard times we rejoice in knowing what is coming
And in the good we are thankful for what we have
Knowing that it wasn’t always this easy
And that others before us fought for this
We stand on the grounds of community and tradition
Born and raised
They are trying to change a whole group of 150 year old traditions and celebrations in my city. And this was my response to those people

The term daddy issues has such a negative connotation,
But what if the issue is he treated my mom and I so well
That I don’t know if I can find a man as good as him.

Now that I’m older I see all he did for us,
Worked long hours and missed important events,
so he could support us.
He was always there when we needed him
And taught us that we can do anything we wanted
Whether it was using power tools or being a princess.

What happens now that I found that man.
The man I was told all my life to look for,
And he stole my heart then ran away.
For once I think saying I have daddy issues,
Is beneficial
