I Don't Want You To Go: A Poem

Maybe you'll come back and love me with that passion

I Don't Want You To Go: A Poem

The late nights with those deep talks

Those days where you cup my face and take my hands and put them in your own,

When we would go on those walks

And feel those chills from our affection in our bones.

You would whisper in my ear and tell me that I am your only one.

That you feel that you won

That there's no one else.

That there will be never anyone else.

But why don't I feel your presence anymore?

Why can't I hear your voice anymore?

Where are your promises? And why are they hidden now?

I turn towards you, hoping that you can give me a response,

That you will smile at me and reassure me that I don't need to worry.

Maybe you'll tell me "I'm sorry."

Maybe you'll come back and love me with that passion

Maybe you'll be mine again.

The promises that you once promised me doesn't seem true to me

That maybe we're not even meant to be.

Who knows if we can be together and be free.

And still look at each other with the same utter intensity.

I don't want you to go, I heard myself whisper in the dark.

The late nights, my covers tossed away from my body,

When I cried myself to sleep

Wondering if you were asleep

Or awake

With someone else in mind.

Someone else that's kind

Someone else to find.

Until that day does come..

I don't want you to go.

And even if that is foolish

Even if that is normal

Even if that is inevitable.

I still don't want you to go

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.
