Rewards for Trying Again.

The scales were tipping without conscious realization of the effort behind the imbalance…

Because, I dare say, it was effortless.

Words flowed from my lips to your ears like the waves reaching the shore,

easily and naturally, 

until you returned swells of your own… breaking in my ear.

Followed with unhindered laughter…

pure and thrilling,

to allow raw happiness to emerge after hiding away for so long.

Yes… you made it all so easy.

love

together 

mine

Broken girls don’t wish on such silly things.

For this moment was meant to come…. when the tides recede to reveal the sand beneath…

Truth.

I’m craving your touch.

This will never be the way it was.

We were meant for us.

Empty words and simple friendships just won’t due.

I need you.
