Favorite Quote:
&ldquo;He&rsquo;s not perfect. You aren&rsquo;t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn&rsquo;t going to quote poetry, he&rsquo;s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don&rsquo;t hurt him, don&rsquo;t change him, and don&rsquo;t expect for more than he can give. Don&rsquo;t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he&rsquo;s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don&rsquo;t exist, but there&rsquo;s always one guy that is perfect for you.&rdquo; <br /> ― Bob Marley


You looked in my eyes
And I looked in yours
You gave me flowers
And my heart melted
When you kiss me
My knees go weak
When you hug me
I feel love and protection
And when you leave
I know you'll come back
Because if you don't
I'll die
I hope you know 
That's how I feel
Because what did I do to you?
All I did was ask a question
And you came up behind my back
With a knife and stabbed it
I know we have problems
And I know we have fears
You took your anger out on me
Because you saw a mirror
When I look at you, 
I see me
Angry, hurt, and sad
But understand were in this together
This war we fight 
Against our anger and trust
So try and understand
You fight me, you fight yourself
Look in the mirror
Now tell me what you see
I see vulnerablity
