And When I Believe You Love Me

And when I believe you love me...
I think about you every night
before I fall asleep
some may tell you that isn't right
but promises must keep
nobody says good night to me
it feels like no one cares
if I don't wake up in the morning
how long will I lay there

I wonder things like who will care
to cremate me and say goodbye
apologies for the subject
but someday we all die
it doesn't scare me to know this
what bother's me, I guess
is knowing I may have no one
who will clean up the mess

I wrote a song long time ago
back in the early years
when I explored who I am
and overcame my fears
the links remain to express me
to anyone who cares
the night is the most lonely time
because no one is here
the time nobody shares

So excuse me for telling you
how much I miss the time
of nite nite love you BFF
is it such a crime?
my hope is that you find a smile
in knowing that I care
and still appreciate you now
every time you share

So now I lay me down to sleep
and hope tomorrow smiles
thank you for reading these words
for just a little while
I hope to find someone who will
come right out of the blue
until I do, just now and then
I'll say these words to you
nite nite, sleep tight, love you
nite nite, steep tight, live you

Awwww, yeah, I am such a sappy sentimental mushy emo old fool, I know. But isn't that really what life is all about, I mean, isn't love what makes life worth living more than anything else? Yeah, so I make-believe family and I make-believe love and I make-believe intimacy and trust and each night I go to sleep wishing for a real life partner and someone who will want to be with me always... and that's what matters most to me in this world. Maybe I am dreaming the impossible dream (queue song, Don Quixote lol) but I will never give up (and never surrender) cuz I am just stubborn like that. There's always hope I'll find someone.

I write what we now call a blog just about every day. I use it to record life, amuse myself, distract myself, and keep in touch with myself and my dreams. Mostly, in recent years, I distract myself more than anything else. The dream, however, lives on. It's good to know. :)

Somewhere in you, buried deep where nobody can see (hopefully you show Tina), I know there is a romantic heart that understand my dream. That is why I thank you for understand me, or at least this obsession with love part of me. To love and be loved is why I exist. I've been partnerless a very long time. You help me remember why I am alive because you have the desire to love and be loved too. I am so happy you found someone right for you. You give me hope to carry on (sappy old song, time to exit, stage left lol).

This is the stuff shared by BFFs, I think.

Nite nite, love you. :)

honest love,
me

The Writer On Beauty and Happiness

I once wanted to see myself as a writer, as a person gifted with a skill to put words together to say profound and wondrous things, to amaze readers with thoughts and emotions that would open their minds and free them from the shackles of fears that oppress us from without and from outside in this culture. What I have found in sharing personal letters is that most people personalize the thoughts and feeling in the words to a point where they either fall in love or become defensive, accepting the concepts and therein the person who they do not really know or rejecting them before ever knowing them. This is an attempt to reach beyond that superficial and over-personalized communication, an attempt to find your mind open, objective, and even eager to understand the concepts, thoughts, feelings, and playfulness in these words without judging the writer, without leaping to any assumptions or conclusions that you know me. For how can anyone truly know another without spending time lookin...

To You, To Me, For You

Never give up on love, never give in to fear, always remember your passion for that is what makes you care and that is what you should share for that is why you are here So I'll just keep trying to encourage you to share this way and any other way I can think of, cuz I adopted you and this is what family does, reminds you to be yourself, define yourself, grow yourself, express yourself... Maybe I ask too much of you, but I believe you've got it in your to continue growing your confidence and ability to know and express yourself. I believe you could write a book one day and it would be full of the kind of insight and love that this world needs. Even more important, I believe you need to get it out, to ride through the catharsis that self-expression can be - into a new awareness of just how precious and few people like you are. I'll just keep trying to convince you and hope you believe me... There's always hope (I hope)... there's always hope because I h...

Pretend We Don't Know Why

You were the last one I chose to trust unconditionally. The last one I let in to the space inside of me. You never ventured deep. We did not share our sleep. Or our dreams or our schemes or whatever that means. Yet until someone else comes along to take your place in my heart. I write to you as if you are here because that is your part. In this live I live. Everything I give. Are our dreams ad our schemes of whatever that means... all the trust without lust because that is the unconditional... or bust. You may not know that life is pretend . We forget most of the truths we knew as children at play. You may not know that love never ends. The bond of trust is so far beyond lust that it perpetually mends. All we need to do is trust the truth to come to us in being real and sharing caring unconditionally. That is when we can know the experience of love that is beyond when fear prevents us from seeing... it is so freeing... the purest being... all as one with the energy of the infinite ...
