The hardest thing to do is tell the woman you love that you like her.

~Lex Luthor, Smallville

So much beauty in life
Shining on the outside
Empty on the inside
I get lost sometimes
Blinded by the flashing lights
Distractions always in my eyes
So i'm following the sound, the sound of my heart
Beating....

You can take it all away
I don't need it
Underneath, i'll still be the same
You can take it all away
I don't need it, it's not me
You can take it all, take it all away
I'll still be the same

Are you hiding still?
Don't you want to love yourself?
Don't you know that someone will?
Time can turn it around
Leave it all that's dribbled down
That's the only way to find it out
Are you following the sound, the sound of your heart?
Beating...

Coming in with nothing, leaving with the same
It's all inside
Coming in with nothing, the only thing that saves
...Is here inside

Take Time

Take time to think;
it is the source of power.
Take time to read;
it is the foundation of wisdom.
Take time to play;
it is the secret of staying young.
Take time to be quiet;
it is the opportunity to seek God.
Take time to be aware;
it is the opportunity to help others.
Take time to love and to be loved;
it is God's greatest gift.
Take time to laugh;
it is the music of the soul.
Take time to be friendly;
it is the road to happiness.
Take time to dream;
it is what the future is made of.
Take time to pray;
it is the greatest power on earth.

So what's the deal with relationships?

On the real...

How can someone say they love you and hurt you the way they do???

I guess it just puts me in this mood that says, BLEGH, go away...hehe

I just don't understand how someone can say I love you and then hurt me so badly. It's like the ultimate contradiction...and then that makes me wonder, did you ever mean those three little words we all wait to hear?

I have a friend going through a hard break up right now...You know who you are...you know I feel you on this one. There is this place in my heart that just holds these insecurities that I can't help. I have never been in this position before because this is the longest relationship in my life. So, hehe, please bear with me. These insecurities put me in these states of mind that just can't be shaken. Every moment with you, I don't question but every moment without you, I wonder where you are at, what are you doing, who are you with. I know inside I shouldn't think that way but just, it's hard when you aren't at the affection level that I am at...

Is it wrong to ask for time...for affection...for some type of notice...

AWWW, I need you...you know it...I know it...why can't u need me just as much?

It's the hardest thing for me...because I absolutely adore you and want to be with you...

So, God, this is what I am asking, not simply for me but for all those who are thrown into situations such as these:

Give us strength and bring us clear signs that either they are worth the efforts or not...
that love will prevail and that your love fills our relationship.
