I think Im done with this.

Where do I go from here?

The thing I've been dreading
The thing I thought I could never get through
...is catching up to me.

But I'm not hurting as much as I thought I would

Maybe Im just all hurted out for this one


---------------------------------


You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away

...I just wish you knew that.


Now its too late.

    Words of Wisdom, I didnt write this.

the important thing is to realize the difference between true love and simple infatuation. which quite often, unfortunately, brings sorrow, not happiness. love is friendship that has caught fire. it takes root and grows, one day at a time. infatuation is marked by a feeling of insecurity. you are excited, but not genuinely happy. there are nagging doubts, little bits and pieces about him that you would like to examine too closely. it might spoil the dream. love is the quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfection. it gives you strength and grows beyond you, to bolster your beloved. you are warmed by his presence, even when he is away. near or far, you know he is yours and you can wait. infatuation says "i can't risk losing him." love says "be patient. he is yours. plan your future with confidence." infatuation has an element of sexual excitement. whenever you are in one another's company you are hoping it will end in intimacy. love is the maturation of friendship. you must be friends before you can be lovers. infatuation lacks confidence. when he's away, you wonder if he's cheating. sometimes you check. love means trust. you are calm, secure, and unthreatened. he feels your trust and it makes him even more trustworthy. infatuation might lead you to do things you'll regret later, but love never will. love lifts you up. it makes you a better person than you were before
