I can't sleep tonight, just too much swirling around in my head
Back and forth I tossed and turned, trying to get comfortable in my bed
I thought about today's conversations, and all the things I talked about
It's been one of those days for reflecting, of that there is no doubt

I've been told I have changed, what happened to the me I use to be?
When did things get so complicated, why didn't I just let things be
I was tired of the norm, of always being the one to do right
When it came down to the wire though, I had no energy left to fight

I let myself go to the wayside, forgetting all my dreams and goals of tomorrow
Instead I just allowed myself to be swalloed up in a world of pity and sorrow
I miss my family, I miss how it all use to be before everything blew sky high
Mostly I miss the person I was before I became consumed with so many secrets and lies

I want so badly to get it all back, to make my life what it once use to be
To follow my heart again, and to make my dreams into reality
I'm down on my knees praying...it all comes down to me and you
The one I love more than anything else, who has my heart, my mind, and my soul too

"love is like a butterfly--
if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"
~me~

Amy, we all get lost sometimes, get thrown to the side by our own hands, but you gotta have faith that everything will work out eventually, and you'll be stronger for it.

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Amy, I understand this feeling ever too well, sweet friend, I'm kind of in this transitional stage right now, where my parents both want me to take everything on my own but at the same time restrict me so they contradict themselves! (sigh) I hope you get to spend more time with your family this holiday season, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Amy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
