She Meets Life

Why is it so difficult? b/c everything or everywhere I go, there's a piece of you. remnants of you linger by me like a child attached to their parents. i wake up and the first thing i think of is you. i go to school and i think of you. i drive to work, play the radio, the songs remind me of you. i get home, lay my head on my pillow and the last thing i think of is you. why is letting go of you so difficult?

2016 couldn't start any better. Won tickets to a new years' event, got accepted into the program I thought would be challenging to get into, got a place to live for free and a job 5 minutes from home. Life couldn't get any better. but it can. it was better because I met someone. Maybe it was how he carried himself or it was his demeanor but meeting and talking with him, I continue to learn things about everything all over again. He teaches me patience and how to be okay when things don't go the way I hope it would. He's intellectual, kind, and most of all, he cares about me. He respects my decisions as I respect his. But there's one obstacle keeping us from seeing each other everyday...distance. both physically and mentally. Perhaps we've experienced loss more than love and fear taking the next step.
