Impatience


They say

patience

is a virtue.


They say

good things come

to those who

wait.


But

I do not know

how much

longer

I can hold back

from the

inevitability

of you.


I have never cared

for rush

or haste.

I live my life

at my own

steady pace.


But why do we

insist

on waiting

for something

good 

to begin?


We are

wasting

precious time,

watching

on the side lines,

as our defining

moment

passes us by.


Can we just

let ourselves go?


Stop

pressing pause

on this

epic tale

that lies ahead.


Because

I want you.

All of you.


And I 'm

impatient

for us

to begin.


There is no time

like the present

and there is no feeling

like loving you.


So let's jump right in...

Sinking Ships

Can somebody please tell me how to fix this sinking ship? Because I'm exhausted. I've given my all to bailing out these frigid waters, fighting against the relentless surge. I waste every breath, every thought, every effort, to confining an endless tide. I cannot stop. But I'll drown out here, cold and alone, if I don't  pause, find the source and fix this broken vessel. So teach me how to plug the gap before it kills me.

Her

She has the kind of face to write poetry about. To spill words like ink on page after page, searching for a way to describe it. And yet, there are never enough words. Their meaning, feels meaningless. I could travel to the furthest reaches of every continent. Dive to the deepest depths of the seven seas, or soar to dizzying heights above the tallest trees. And yet, the world would feel dull, in comparison to her. Even in a thousand lifetimes, hard as I try, I wouldn't ever find a single sight more beautiful than her face, nor a string of words capable of capturing that beauty. Because nothing has ever or will ever be more beautiful to me, than her.

I'm sorry...

So, over the past few months or so I've been trying to figure out how to write this post, to talk about the end of my five-year relationship. The intention was to clear my head of this swirling mass of thoughts, and attempt to find some clarity. But, every time I ended up writing, this post got longer and more difficult.  So I put it off, I avoided it, and I stressed about how on earth I would ever manage to translate my thoughts into words.  However, I refused to give in, because part of me believed that once I could get this confusing tangle of emotion out of my head and into words, I would finally be at peace. So, one sentence at a time, as the days and weeks and months stretched on, I managed to string together this rambling mess of thoughts. And in the end, it just turned into an apology. To myself, to those around me, and more than anything, to the girl who all of this began with. So, here goes... Do you ever feel like the longer time passes, the further from yourself yo...
