Its a little long, sorry...

I am no stranger to pain
It had always been the one constant in my life
whenever things had the audacity to change
and I never knew why people had such troubles with it
To me it was just like wearing a second skin

I pushed through each day just like the next person
I had my big group of friends that I conversed with
and a few that actaully knew me under the surface
we talked and laughed, and if that is what one calls happiness
then I had my fair share of it in life

But then I met him...
It wasn't a sudden thing, instant love in a flash of lightning
but there was a sweetness in the air, a beauty
and I finally understood what people ment
when they said you breathe without thinking

and then one night, lying beneath the stars, happiness found me
pure and simple joy, such a unique feeling
the kind that wakes you up in the morning
and puts you to sleep with a smile on your face
an experience totally unlike anything I've ever felt before

Pain was easy to deal with, dull and heavy
but this new feeling was amazing
it was all jittery and bouncy and alive inside me
the pain was still there, but overshadowed
by this enigma that was him

He gave me beauty and laughter and yes, pain
but it was perfect and waking up in the morning
was no longer a chore but a privilidge
I was in love, a blissfull, crazy type of love
and despite the pain I was in exstacy

But now you've gone away
and I am left here alone again in the shadows
I understand why, but that does not stop my heart from numbing up...
only this time there is a love trapped inside
threatening to collapse the barriers that hold my crumbling mind together

I find it funny how happiness may be my ultimate undoing
And I want to thank you, cause I wouldn't change a minute of it
it is my secret hope that one day you'll share the happiness with me agian
but if not, I'll still be here, pushing through each day
remembering you and reminding myself to breathe...


The memories are worth the pain when the happiness is outweighs the sorrow

Yes, .  It is a conundrum isn't it.  Good write, hang in there.

Reading this I feel like I wrote it...
because, in my own way, I completely understand.
I wish joy for you...
this is absolutely beautiful.

Always, Alyssa

Belabe, you ARE Beautiful! It was a priviledge to read such an open and honest out-pouring from your very heart and soul.
This was not "long" at all, for I was engaged from the beginning to the end of this touching write.

I do not believe that that love is "trapped" inside of you. It is there waiting to blossom and grow when the next opportunity for you to share it with another comes along.

~ Wishing you all the love that your beautiful heart deserves.

Love & Light,
EA

Oh my did this touch me!  There is so much I can relate to in there... It would take me forever to tell  you all of it.  I REALLY liked this. I am definately keeping it.
