i love/miss you

two words that hold
so much weight
the weight of two people
holding onto something
that feels all too real
a feeling of something missing
that seeing them can only cure
a random conversation
a thought of a smile
moments to imagine amidst
memories still turning
around and around
in a head and heart
just trying to keep it all
together

Two People in Love…

It all started with two people in love…
to build six different families
with six different parents
with fifteen different kids
but all one giant family.
All of the same blood,
all bleeding together
with hearts all align.
Add to that different blood
yet still bonding together…
A family, mixed and matched.
Times together never to forget,
memories always to cherish.
If anything has eternal love,
a family like mine does.

when worth changes

exposure to something new
experiencing things you never thought you would
allowing yourself to trust the unknown
as you turn away from what you know

those are the things you remember
the memories you never want to let go of
perhaps shaping who you are the most
for who wants to turn down a chance to be amazed?

but what happens when those memories hurt,
when the thrill has combined with more?
when the smallest thing brings it all back
and you find your heart aching instead of flying?

that’s when you wonder if it it all was worth it…
