DAMAGED PEOPLE

DAMAGED PEOPLE 

We're damaged people
Drawn together
By subtleties that we are not aware of
Disturbed souls
Playing out forever
These games that we once thought we would be scared of

When you're in my arms
The world makes sense
There is no pretense
And you're crying
When you're by my side
There is no defense
I forget to sense
I'm dying

We're damaged people
Praying for something
That doesn't come from somewhere deep inside us
Depraved souls
Trusting in the one thing
The one thing that this life has not denied us

When I feel the warmth
Of your very soul
I forget I'm cold
And crying
When your lips touch mine
And I lose control
I forget I'm old
And dying

Don't fall in love

Don't fall in love
with someone who says the right things,
fall in love
with someone who does the right things.

Since SEX

Since SEX got easier to get.
Love got harder to find
And relationships don't last as long...

Once you have been hurt

Once you have been hurt,

 you're scared

 to get attached again,

 you have a fear

 that every person

 is going to break

 your heart.

I'll never give up

I'll never give up

 on someone

 who's worth fighting for.

 But I just don't know

 if you're that person any more.

It is not a lack of love

It is not a lack of love,

 but a lack of friendship

 that makes

 unhappy marriages.

- Friedrich Nietzsche -

I love you too

"I love you too"

 has a great impact

 on our hearts.

 Anybody

 can get an

 "I love you"

 but only a few

 can get an

 "I love you too."

You know, that place

You know, 

that place

 between sleep and awake,

 that place

 where you still remember dreaming?

 That's

 where

 I'll always love you.

When two people are really in love

I believe

 when two people

 are really in love with each other,

 they won't ever let go.

 Even if it hurts

 a thousand times or more

 to stay.

Just like a shoe

Just like a shoe,

 if someone is meant for you,

 they will just fit perfectly;

 no forcing,

 no struggling,

 no pain. 

To My Children

To My Children;

When I tell you I love you, I don't say it out of habit or to make conversation. I say it to remind you that you make my world complete, fill it with joy and occasionally sadness, adventure and sometimes pain, marvel as well the odd questions, direction even though I may seem lost, love especially the times you said you don't, what is important and what is not, and when its time to let go even when I want to hold you tight. I am doing the best job I know how, and as you grow and learn so do I. I only want the best for you, to guide and teach you when you were young, to understand the world from your eyes which also expands mine, and to see you turn in to incredible human beings when you move on. To know you can face the world, take on challenges of your own, learn from and teach others around you and help make the world a better place. I hope you remember I am always here, always willing to listen, and help where I can for you have made my world a better place too. For now that you are older and we may be miles apart, you are always in my heat and I thank God for the gift he gave to me in you.

Love you always

Dad

Quite outside my own self

“I sat there for three hours and did not feel the time or the boredom of our talk and its foolish disconnection. As long as I could hear his voice, I was quite lost, quite blind, quite outside my own self.”
― Anaïs Nin

Never chase love

Never chase love,

 affection or attention,

 if it isn't given freely by another person,

 it aint worth having.

Face it we are meant to be

We fight,

 like a married couple,

 talk like best friends,

 flirt like 1st loves,

 & protect each other like siblings.

 Face it we are meant to be.

Being SINGLE is a good feeling

Being SINGLE is a good feeling, 
no drama, 
no heartaches, 
and no feelings. 

But, 
then it gets lonely 
and you miss 
that feeling of belonging.

If a girl cries

If a girl
cries so hard 
and ask you to stay away, 
she 
actually wanted you 
to hug her tightly 
and make the tears go away. 

A man who treats his woman like a princess

A man

 who treats his woman

 like a princess

 is proof

 that he has been

 born

 &

 raised

 in the arms of a queen.
