i was walking so slow
so weak
i kept trying to run
but the weigth on my shoulders was too much
i stumbled again

how long would i
keep up this pattern?
of trying to run...
then slowing to a walk
then stumbling over a distraction in life
every time i
picked my self back up
i was
weaker
slower
hurting

i stumbled again
the biggest fall i ever had!
i stayed on the ground
not wanting to get up
i stayed on the groud
not wanting to continue
i had no reason to

i heard the shuffle of feet
and looked up

then i saw YOU
YOU
u were there in front of me smiling that
loving
caring smile that no one else could give

"WHERE WERE YOU?!" i demanded,
i was mad HE appered when i had already given up

"I was here...in front of you. calling your name the whole time. begging you to see ME," He answered ," I'll NEVER leave you."
He looked at me with those
eyes
so full of
love and
compassion

He continued,
"i was here.. in front of you. calling out your name. u were blinded and deaf because of all the worldy stuff u turned to.
THATS why u kept stumbling
nd falling
nd felt like
giving up."

as i looked at Him,
His words penetrated my heart
i was so engulfed with
money nd
guys nd
trying to be someone in this perverted world

the one He gave to us

i lay there on the
ground
realizing i had to get up
i still had life
i looked at him nd cried
for i didnt relized how far i was pushing him away from me

nd i hadnt realized how much He loves me

HE bent down and held me in his arms
as he stood back up
when i felt his skin touch mine
i was addicted to someone
all over again...but this time...
this time it would last forever
as i lay in his arms that held me so close nd near to him...
he wispered into my ear,

"I Love You. I'll be here when you need me. I Love You."

now i had
a reason to get up off the floor
a reason to walk
a reason to love


A REASON TO RUN
