... feelings are made to be expressed, it is not meant to be helpless nor kept. don't be a loser without fighting, never make regrets for yourself to suffer, cause you know what? silence hurts more ...

moving on vs. forgetting

what's the difference between "i moved on” and "i forgot you already?"

you really wanna know?

when you say "i forgot you already,"
you totally accept the fact that the person you used to call "mine" is not yours anymore...

when you say "i moved on,"
you just realized that it's over, but the feeling is still there, you just ignore it...

moments in life

you get moments in your life,
you get enough to last you your entire life.

tiny moments, cute and nostalgic at times,
spread far and wide and few and far in between.

you get enough that you think that a moment is forever.
but it never is...the moment goes, it fades, it dies.

like a fire, burning strong and powerful,
reduced to ashes and smoke the next day.

it takes over your entire being.

all your emotions are out in the open, exposed,
you show too much of yourself,
you are vulnerable,
you are an open book,
anyone can get to you.

and at the most perfect moment in your entire life,
someone does,
inside and under and beneath everything that you took for granted,
everything that you forgot you had and knew about yourself and life and others,
this someone comes in and gets to you.

that person gets to you and you are never the same.

that person turns your world inside out,
upside down,
round and round,
that person comes in and settles in.

that person walks in and comes into your life and you are never ever the same, ever.

that's what you did to me,
i had my moment with you and i am never the same.

you changed everything that i believed in and now you are.

... a lot of people asked me why i care for you, i answered back with a quiet smile not because i don't have an answer but because they would never understand...

... take care of the person you love, never tell lies or attempt to hurt them because you won't know how important they are until they are out of your life ...

... it hurts when the one you love left you and say "you deserve someone better", then all you can say is, " maybe i do", but deep inside you are crying cause you know you can't find better if you already found the best ...
