I love and I hate

E-mail Print

I love the way that without you I don't know what to do

I hate when I'm mad at you

I love the way that with just one whisper you tell me everything I hate hearing your voice and knowing I cant see you I love the passion in your kisses I hate it when we fight I love the way you say I love you I hate it when I'm mad at you I love way you know me better than I do I hate it when we don't talk I love it when you smile I hate it when you frown I love it when you make me laugh when there's nothing funny at all I hate it when we fight I love being in a crowded room and only seeing you I hate how we cant make this right I love the way I look up when I hear your name I hate it when you lie I love how I feel in your arms I hate it when were grounded I love they way I feel when I see your name on the caller ID I hate when I have to leave I love the way you please me I hate it when I cant see you I love the way your hair blows in the wind I hate it when you drink I love it when you make me weak in the knees I hate it when you smoke I love all the little things you do I hate when you forget to call I love when we act stupid I hate it when I see you flirting I love when were connected I hate it when you get mad I love when we kiss in the rain I hate it when your selfish I love when we lay awake at night and talk I hate when I catch you in a lie I love how you always tell me how you feel I hate when you pretend nothings wrong I love how your eyes stare deep into me I hate it when were full of drama I love how I can be myself around you I hate it when you make me cry myself to sleep I love when you put me first I hate that I cant tell you how I feel I love when you kiss my neck I hate that were just friends I love it when your romantic I hate when you blow me off I love when I drift off in class thinking about you I hate that I cant explain how I feel for you I love when your concerned I hate when I don't say I love you as much as I should I love the way sensations run wild when your arm brushes mine I hate it when I second guess you I love how you can make me instantly happy I hate it when were 2 feet apart but still so far away I love when I drive myself crazy thinking of you I hate being alone I love how your all I see when I close me eyes I hate it when I cant make you happy I love how I get butterflies when you smile at me I hate not trusting you I love when I get nervous around you I hate when you don't care I love how the more girls I meet, make me realize how much I love you

 

Still Feels like Yesterday

E-mail Print

Still feels like yesterday

but in reality it's been two long years

I still get all choked up and have to fight the tears

miss having you on the speed dial

miss having our daily early morning calls

miss having my sista girlfriend

cause now I feel like I have no friends at all

It still feels like yesterday

the last conversation is still fresh on my mind

wish I would have known that

this was to be our last time

no more talking, acting silly and no more sharing of tears

no being strong for each other as we face our fears

It hurts so bad when that friend you love is gone and can't return

there's an ache in my heart and everyday it burns

I've wanted to turn back the hands of time and just break that clock forever and to hold my dear friend close to me and let you go never I hate to sound like I just can't go on and I know that you want me too live this life and hold on too my precious memories of you but this still feels like yesterday and I'm not ready to say goodbye to you.

not ready to close that chapter in our short lived life

I want to wake up and find that your alright

I want to hear your voice

and laugh, scream and shout

I don't know if I will ever be able to

let you go and have that final cry

I'm so afraid to say

G-o-o-d-b-y-e

So until that time all I'm going to say is

Happy Birthday

SIS

I missing you

 

Maya Angelou is a Phenomenal Woman

E-mail Print

One of the best poets to ever live,
One of the best poets to ever write,
Her words seem to lift your self-esteem, and
Your dreams to a phenomenal height,
Her poetry is unquestionably,
One of the greatest works of art,
Each verse,
Comes straight from her heart,
Each phrase,
Must come from her soul,
her poetry is more precious than gold, therefore
She will always be a phenomenal woman,
Phenomenally.
