So far: 26.

Almost as soon as the clock struck 26

Something changed

Something clicked 

Time stopped

My whole world was rocked upside down 

Memories in my mind of what I would be float away like snowflakes in the wind

There are hundreds of pages I need to rip out of the story of my life in my mind

Back then I thought I knew what life would be like-I thought I knew what my life would be like

During Christmas,

In the snow-

In the office

All in my mind

Made up. Delusions.

Life is a gift. It's not to be taken lightly. Moments. We're not promised anything or anyone. 

Life. Learn. Live. Love.

Be in the moment. Be here.

Not there. Here. 

Perspective

Walking down the terrace of rose petals, fireflies and frozen butterfly wings 

I was blinded by the light of my own creation

Living a fabricated fairy tale it was time to retreat 

And be true to myself, so I fell back down

Here I lay, surrounded by my own shadows

Nothing seems to reflect the truth better than pitch black darkness 

I was lost in my own world, believing what I wanted to see was real

When you gave me coal, I turned them into doughnuts 

I was good at lifting myself up, because you never could

It's hard to say you're wrong when you're living in it

But it's so easy to see when you have something this good

It puts the past to shame, like it didn't even happen

I don't have to pretend, I don't have to defend 

Nothing compares to what I have now

When were together it's like two best friends hanging out

The curtains are pulled, we are ourselves there is no pretending

You are just you and I am just me, we fit together so perfectly 

I couldn't imagine a love like this

It goes beyond the surface way below the deepest depths 

We love each other immensely, intensely 

We don't take each other for granted

We listen to each other, and let each other be 

And that, fits perfectly in my idea book of you and me
