I see the pastures roll by in the distance,
And as I stare, I remember you
My memories take over,
And I am transported too.

I can feel the wind blowing my hair,
The sunshine gleaming on my face
We sit together in the field,
Alone, merely talking in this place.

The scene shifts to the sound of our voices,
And I remember the way you smiled.
You guide me out of my shell
And you release my inner child.

You were with me in calmness too,
Our voices gliding through the moonlight
I feel your body pressed beside mine,
As we sing to them, “Goodnight.”

Then the image transforms once more,
And I see you hold her close.
The vision shatters around me
And I am left exposed.

Did you mean to be so cruel?
Or did my heart distort?
But in the end it doesn’t matter,
For it’s still only me that’s hurt.

&quot;You&#039;ve got to learn to move on, because life will move on. If you don&#039;t move on, you&#039;ll just end up in over your head.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Never regret anything because at the time, it was exactly what you wanted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We accept the love we think we deserve.&quot;

Favorite Quote:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn&#039;t serve the world. There&#039;s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won&#039;t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It&#039;s not just in some of us, it&#039;s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.<br /> -Marianne Williamson
