No relationship can ever be perfect. You can never force your partner to be faithful in a way that you think you deserve to be treated. In a relationship, we can always be loyal, but rarely honest.

i always had a song for you
I always had a song for you. I never sang them, but they rung in my mind and they echoed in my heart. They told of the words that I couldn't say, the thoughts I was always too scared to share. They painted the picture of stories I couldn't narrate, the emotions I never wanted... Continue Reading →

Do not fall in love with me because I never stay. I always move around. I travel every now and then; I get sent to almost anywhere, often with no prior notice. You’ll only get to see me for a few days once a month—and it’ll be worth it. I’ll take you to places: movies,... Continue Reading →
I’m Not Trying
I'm not trying to bring back the love we lost; I am not naive to think things are fine. We both lost it, like the savage toss of the ocean waves . . . it washed to the shore, steadily, violently, crushing as it hit the end of its line. I'm not trying to bring... Continue Reading →
