love you...

My Special Friend

Your cheerful smile

Your caressing hand

It's the really simple things

That make your life look so grand

You're a special woman

It's in your eyes

I see the truth

There is no disguise

It's your spirit

Maybe your soul

But my life without you

Would feel painfully old

You've been a true friend

I hope you stay

I would be so very empty

If you ever went away

Green fields...

My heart aches...

My heart aches when I talk to you

My heart aches when I don’t hear from you

My heart aches when I long for you

I don’t know why

You’ve taken over my thoughts

I can’t explain

You’re still a stranger

Far away

I want you close by

I miss your embrace

Holding you close

My heart aches

I miss you!

Arielle.

Sometimes learning hurts...

There is a giant range of experiences we can have in life. They are of course either good or bad, and they affect the kind of person we grow into to. I think, it often seems easier to focus on the troubles I've had. But I have begun to see that with the trouble, come great opportunities for learning and growth. Troubles also generally come with little miracles. Things that are small, but just big enough to give hope or confidence in taking another step out to face the world again. When I look back and think, “How did I ever get through that?” The fine details begin to appear.Have you ever loved someone so much you would do anything for them? Even die for them? That kind of love is the most beautiful creation we have been given. To be able to love like that is a gift that surpasses all other beauties. Most of us love our families like that from the beginning. Our parents, siblings, spouse and children. But it can be learned as well.Have you ever had a friend mean that much to you? Have you ever loved a friend so much it hurts. You hurt when they hurt. You would give your soul to make them happy. It is overpowering, exhausting to feel this way and yet I would never have changed the passion I felt, the love I felt for my best friend, even though it sometimes hurt.

A real friend...

A Real Friend

A real friend would forgive

If I did something wrong

A real friend will lend a hand

Whenever I'm not strong

A real friend would listen

If I tried to speak

A real friend will accept

Whether I am strong or weak

A real friend would care

If I ever fell ill

A real friend will know

How I really feel

A real friend would always be there

If I need them by my side

A real friend will remember me

Long after I have died

A real friend would be forever

If I even moved away

A real friend will never truly leave

In each other's hearts we shall always stay
