Angel Your darkness ends, where my light begins. And my pain recedes, As your warmth descends. A broken path, our current place Lost souls connect, through time and space. And as you sleep,  I am awake. And as you dream.  My heart it aches. For Within your eyes   I've seen your soul And deeper still  I'm gently pulled  You came into my world  when I thought I was done. My heart longs to stay  while my inhibitions say run. Being pulled to your beauty  as a call from within. Wanting you more   with each breath of the wind. ~TJJ 1/24/2019

I have been alone most of my life, in one way or another.  Looking for the one, or Love in general, always seeming to find that when someone loves me, either I am not emotionally in the right place at the time, or if I am in love with them, they do not want me.  When I do love I love someone hard, but I have also learned there are different types of love, each with their own qualities as we go through stages of maturity in our life. A research study shows that most people only fall in love 3 times in their life until they finally either get it right or find the right one.  Each stage of this teaches us to grow, with the final stage being the easiest and purest form. Stage 1 - Your First Love For most people, including myself, this occured during high school.  You are smitten with someone, overcome with hormones, all the new feelings of being a young adult full of energy and desire.  You feel this feeling needs to last forever and you want to rush into it, ...

Another Day. The hours pass. As night grows near. Another day, without you here. I wait again to hear your voice. Those words, I long to hear you say. Knowing I will be alone again another day. The stars shine down, without you, not as bright, But knowing we look up to the same night skies, Brings hope to these old tired eyes.  But the sun hides it shine, and clouds turn grey, As I sit here waiting another day. Wishing we were together in each others arms, Hoping each day you are free from harm. Knowing deep down we feel the same way. Gets me through another day. O’er the passage of time, And miles apart. Nothing has removed you from my heart. While through the storms, your heart may sway, My love is still here another day. To know someone else has the one I want, Yet does not appreciate your loving grace. Makes me long so much to take his place. And for you I will always pray. That perhaps this too shall pass ...

Stop being the one who has bad things happen to them, instead be the one who goes out of their way to do good things for others.  Be grateful even when you do not feel grateful.  Love even if you do not feel loved. And be kind even when others have not been kind to you. Pain is an illusion that tries to control the mind and stop your progression.  You are NOT how others have treated you.  When you learn to do this you will find you are a conduit of light and you will begin to attract more of that to you and those around you.

Whoever was meant to be in your life, will always gravitate back to your heart. No matter how far away they have wandered.
