Always and Forever.

I asked to see Him.
And all He said was, "Look into the sunset for my smile."

I begged to feel Him.
And all He said was, "Notice the light breeze when you're walking alone."

I longed to touch Him.
And all He said was, "Put you're hand on your heart and you'll be close enough."

I wanted to have His comfort as I cry.
And all He said was, "What do you think the rain is? I'm crying with you."

I wished to hear Him.
And all He said was, "Listen to the leaves rustling in the wind and there's my whisper."

I hoped to be called His own.
And all He said was, "Always and forever."

Looking forward and not turning back.

There's so much to say.
Yet there's a deafening silence between us.
Despite actions that need to be taken.
Empty efforts make up your willingness to make things better.

I'm living off hope to escape this downhill fall.
I'm looking towards the future when I'll have nothing to hold me back.
I built a wall within myself for protection from personal attacks.
And soon, it'll be able to crumble to the ground.

But until that day I'm gripping anything that is in my reach.
To just keep moving forward despite things pulling me back.
My eyes are focusing on the prize.
The prize of starting new and finding ability to heal.

So do what you want to bring me down.
And say what makes you feel big.
But I'm done with letting you get to me.
Cause I'm concentrating on my future moments to shine.

So enjoy the outcome of your choices.
And I'll have fun with mine too.

Short and sweet.

My new favorite saying: A woman's heart should be so lost in God, that a man needs to seek him in order to find her.
