How to love me


♥ Respect my privacy and independence.

♥ Appreciate my competencies and wealth of creative ideas.

♥ Encourage me to spend time alone.

♥ Don't talk too much or force an emotional conversation before I'm ready.

♥ Try not to nag me about being messy or meeting deadlines.

♥ Allow me plenty of space to pursue my interests in depth and time to think things through.

Over and over,
I took you back, and gave you another chance.
I believed it when you held my face in your hands
And said, "We will lead each other in this life-long dance."
But your words proved as empty as your silent heart,
My heart keeps repeating "good-bye."
So instead of taking another brave stance,
Like these roses, we should just let it die.




I'm so stuck.


I'm so miserable.


I'm so lost.


Just give me more time to think.
Or leave me alone for the time being.


Really, God please help me.




Last night, today, tonight I've thought of you,
Your fear of loving me, your fear of pain,
My own reluctance soon to love again,
And why we often flee what we pursue.
I've thought: if we could make time disappear,
Prune past and future, make the moment flower,
Lobotomize all save this single hour,
Then we could love with neither hope nor fear.
But when we pause to watch the moment flow,
Beneath we see eternity and space,
So thin a moving film is time and place,
Removing us, and all we love and know.
I cannot but anticipate the end:
Desire a lover, yet fear to lose a friend.
