To The One Who Might Get Away

Let me tell you what you mean to me, even if you never see this...

You're one of my favorite people in this world. I have only known you a while, but I do know what feelings are. I have them for you and I have ever since we met. And I know that there is no way you haven't had them for me either.

I will sit around all day and wait on you to text me. I will change my outfit fifty million times before I leave because I know there is a chance that I am going to see you. I will take the same photo ten different times before I send it to you. It's an impulse. You're a disease that I don't mind being infected with.

We have been on a date. We have hung a few other times with our friends too. We talk and everyone else in the room becomes irrelevant. We secretly glance at each other at the same time and just smile. We can't even explain what we are other than probably just attracted to each other or "it's complicated."

You may not know exactly what you want right now, but I do. Because I have known what I wanted the moment I was faced with it. And I have been patient. And I have been heart broken one too many times. But here I am still. Waiting patiently for you to realize what you want too.

I could look at your blue eyes for the rest of my life if you'd let me. I don't think that you really realize how much I dream about 'us' or you in general. You say that you have been dreaming of me a lot lately, but if it was that often, how are you not going as insane like I am right now?

Do you remember the time you told me that I "just seem so amazing?" Or that you "wish you could come over to see me?" Because I do. I remember every conversation that we have ever had. Every heartbreaking one, silly one, angry one, and deep one. Words stay with a girl longer than you could ever imagine.

Chasing your approval may seem like too much, but I don't think that you realize that is what I am doing. Because how could a person be fine knowing that someone cares about them this much without doing anything about it? How could you willingly let me go on like this?

I have watched you with other girls. You don't talk to them like me. You don't look at them like me. And they don't want all of you like me. I want it all. The crazy personality that not many can understand. The looks that could be compared to a god. The voice deep and soothing like a southern lullaby. The jokes about my accent even though we grew up only thirty minutes from each other. All of it.

I am not one to be this pathetic honestly. You have known me long enough to know that. I've been known to cut someone off as soon as they do me wrong. But here I am still waiting. Waiting for something that may never happen. Someone who may never open their eyes to see me standing right in front of him.

Please open your eyes. Please notice my effort. Please quit making me beg for you, wait for you, and dwell on you. Don't be the one I have to say got away from me...

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
