It’s You

It’s time.

Move on.

Let go.

Be free.

It’s nothing new…

You loved for a minute.

You dreamed for a moment.

It’s time.

Move on.

Be free.

Let go.

It’s nothing new…

You can dream for a thousand moments,

You can love for so many more minutes,

With someone that never goes away…

That someone…

Is you.

Grow

Process through the pain.

Feel each new growth as it changes you and your surroundings.

It is not going to be without discomfort.

You are growing, learning, and are yearning to become who you were meant to be.

Looking back, looking forward, staying present, it’s all okay.

Regret, forgiveness, understanding that each experience was for a reason.

For growth.

This process is not easy.

Forgiveness heals.

Forgiving others helps you also forgive yourself.

Letting go of attachments to feelings or emotions, pains or expectations, allows you to find peace.

Allowing peace helps you achieve more understanding of this life and the process of it all.

Don’t hold onto anger, judgement or fear.

Let go.

Release.

Be free of it so you can have peace.

You are worthy of peace.

You are allowed to feel good.

You will keep growing, no matter what.

It might not always feel good, but it will be okay.

You are safe.

You are loved.

You are healing.

Walking

Don’t Stay

Don’t stay.

You can survive on your own.

You don’t need him.

You are capable without her.

If he puts you down, walk away.

If she hurts you again, shut that door.

Walk away.

Don’t stay.

Get out of town.

Do whatever you need to do, to be okay.

Do it for him.

Do it for her.

Most of all, do it for you.

Don’t stay.

Protection

You cover me with so much love.

You have helped me feel safe.

Making sure there is a balance so I can still feel independent and gain more self-confidence, in my own space.

Yet, however you can, you protect me.

You keep me covered and safe through all of the storms.

Wherever I go, I know you will be close.

Near or far, you are always there.

Thank you, you have become my safe space.

I didn’t know how much I needed you until I finally found you.

Now here we are, so far, yet closer than ever before.

Sit with Me at Sunset

Today day has been another one of those long, dreary days.

I watched you as you pushed through until the tail-end of an overly draining day.

The waves are calling, I hear them rumble.

The sun is setting, I feel the coldness starting to set in.

The sky is turning into layers of deep shades of orange.

I know of a place that we could go and watch the rest this day fade away.

Come with me, we can listen to the waves rumble, and smell the welcoming salty sea air.

Sit with me at sunset, we can watch the day turn into night.

Sit with me, we can watch the daylight fade away.

Tomorrow is on its way.

Lets go sit and watch all the colors and let the rest of today just melt away.

-M.

North Beach

Your beauty captivated me.

I longed for warmth, for the touch of the sun-rays.

Searching for a place to be at peace, a place that could take me away.

I was guided to your shores, locals told me about you directed me your way.

Driving through the streets of Port Townsend, I felt anxious, hoping you would be the right place.

Time was passing by so quickly, I tried to keep driving at a steady pace.

It was getting colder and the darkness was coming in, it was starting to take over.

All alone, trying to let someone go, I sought out your expansive waters to watch the sunset glow.

You helped me heal, like a helping hand.

You became like a dear old friend.

Stepping onto your sands, I felt like myself again.

You lead me to a place of mesmerizing beauty, full of peace.

The loss of love is never easy, but walking through your waters made it feel much easier, at least for the end of that difficult day.

A night alone with you, watching the sunset sky, as it drifted away, turned out to be all I needed.

Thank you, North Beach, you gave me a kind of love that is, in my opinion, much more ideal than the love I lost, a love that I thought was something that was real.

-M.

Timeless

Your presence, it grounded me, yet it also gave me wings.

You were far, yet you felt so near.

I saw your scars and felt your tears.

Your energy was freeing, it made me feel like I was riding on the waves.

You were new to me, yet your timeless beauty and wise old soul was like nothing I had ever seen.

How did you lose so much of yourself?

Over time, I guess we all do.

It feels like through many ages, that I have known you, yet it has been only minutes, and hours, not even a day, not just yet.

You stand there, by the waves, feeling it all, taking it all in.

I am so astounded by you.

There is so much to learn from you.

Now I keep finding myself wondering, where I would have gone, what I would have done, had I not taken that chance.

Yet, here we are, so close, yet still so far away.

-M.

Waiting for You

I waited for you, then I decided to search for you.

For years I looked.

For years I tried.

I finally found you, but it wasn’t the right time.

You wanted to come to me, but you just weren’t quite ready.

Its okay.

I will wait for you.

I can keep waiting, until the time is right, until you are ready.

Until then, I will be watching the sunrise and set, walking along the beaches, feeling the breeze, wishing you were here with me.

Until we meet again, I will hold you dearly, in my memory.

-M.

Waiting

There was a time when I would wait for almost anyone.

I would let them lead me, guide me and tell me what was what.

Now you are the only one I will wait for.

You are the only one I can trust.

You heal me.

You give me what I need without asking for anything back.

There is no control.

There is no pain.

There is only love.

Only peace and healing.

Thank you for being you, and allowing me to be me.

-M.
