An Angel Turned into a Creature

She used to be the person who will not move until you say so

She used to be the person who is annoyed of arguments and being loud

She used to be a person who is fond of paper dolls and other fancy stuff

Time flies so fast….

She used to brighten up someone else’s day

She used to put a smile on someone’s face

She used to appreciate the littlest things this world have

Time flies so fast….

She used to be an Angel

Time, places and people converted her into something not familiar to anyone

Pain, broken hopes, betrayal, unfinished business were the ones to blame

Not even in her wild imagination has she thought of

People who loves her, cares for her and even those that don’t, suffer

They begin to dislike the hostile manner; neither has she herself liked what she became

Full of anger, revenge, hatred, unforgiving heart, not a second chance for everyone

There has been a total change

She turned into a Creature

In which she gets weary of

She wants a transformation

She hopes to have her faith back that life is still bright for her

She rekindles memories from the past

She is vulnerable

She is optimistic it will relief the troubles

A Creature will turn into an Angel once more

Please Don't Promise Me Forever

"I read this poem from our school paper when I was in college. From the time I read this, it never left my thoughts. For me, this is ideal for (two hearts) ♥♥ who promised to be together in their lifetime. Just sharing. I hope you like this too."

      ♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥  

I want us to love each other one day at a time...

... And string those days together like the precious things they are...

... Instead of trying too hard and promising too much.

Please don't expect me to always be good and kind and loving.

There are times when I will be cold

and thoughtless  and hard to understand.

But it will only be because of the weather, or the flu, or one of my moods

... not because I love you less. Please remember that.

Please don't think about all the things that could happen to us.

Don't think about other people coming between us.

Don't think about outgrowing each other or growing out of love.

Please do think about all the good things that could happen to us. 

Think of growing closer to each other,

finding new reasons for being together...

... and think of loving. I will, too. I am right now.

Please don't get mad at me if I forget your birthday,

or some special day we share...

... and please remember that there is an "everydayness"

about what we have that is beyond birthdays and anniversaries

That's why, sometimes, I may not remember on special day...

... because all our days are special to me. 

Please don't ever sign a letter "as ever"

Please don't be too easy on me ...

Or expect me to be easy on you.

Both of us have room to grow,

and both of us have to grow if we want to hold each other's love 

Please don't ever give me too much of yourself

or take too much of me.

In our togetherness, we still need our private places.

Please listen to me, when I'm talking to you...

... and please don't ever think about someone else when I kiss you 

Please don't start an argument

or make me look foolish in front of other people...

... but when we're alone

don't feel like you're walking on eggs.

Go ahead and say what you think.

if I need telling off, tell me off

Then we can have our fight

and make up

and love again

just us. 

Please remember to call me sometimes for no reason

except that you feel me thinking about you, needing your voice

Please don't ever lose that laugh of yours-

It's such a real laugh.

And never change the way you brush my hair back from my eyes 

and smile when I'm trying to be very serious...

or the little odd ways you have of saying things that make you "you"

one of a kind,

the one I love. 

Please, lets not use politeness

And busyness and silence 

to avoid our problems

and the places where we hurt if something is wrong,

lets go after it and make it right.

It's a good feeling to think of growing older with you

but please, let's not ever grow old

I want us to always hang on to the newness

that we have right now.

And lets never be ashamed of our innocence,

of the child within us. 

Lets never give up our dreams.

Please don't try keep it from me when you're feeling down

I'll never be able to share your joy if you try protect me from your sadness 

Please don't ever say never...

... and please don't promise me forever

All I ask

is that you love me

now. 

And please know that I love you more today then I ever had before.

I can't promise you forever,

but I can promise you today with the hope and belief

that there is a beautiful tomorrow in store for us.
