The Recipe

I want a home for my future family. A place where my children will grow and their memories will spread. I want to wake up next to a woman I love and constantly want to be better for. She’ll feel that energy of me always working to deserve her in every room she walks in….

Sickness

I dare you to ask me what I see when I look at you? You got the courage to ask what do you mean to me? Let go of your fear and ask what’s my vision of it all? Everything on the road behind me comes in 20/20. The past is in the rear and…

Maybe…

I hate the word maybe. Seriously. I feel the same about possibly. I want confidence when we speak. Talk to you like my confidante. Whisper secrets in your ear about my dreams as you sleep. I don’t want you to ever doubt. I also don’t want you to ever think I’m perfect. I’m a man…

Inspired By Conversations at Chilli’s

Inspired by conversation at Chili’s 9.10.15 We have let go of thank you’s. They have been taken over by the same disease that made lovers in the notebook forget they were both birds. We have embraced goodbyes and mastered it like an art form that has sculpted both our mental and physical decrees. Due to…

Slowly Drifting

Slowly Drifting. Love usually comes in all the wrong places. Soulmates don’t come with a bow on them wrapped nicely underneath life’s Christmas tree. Timing is not the planets aligned just right to let you know this is the one, you’ve found them. All those fish they tell you are out there, forget about them….

Lately.

  Lately 10.13.15 As of late, do I cross your mind? When you think about the summertime. When you think about them Fall mornings or those Winter nights. What about those Spring afternoons that were full of delight. I got a million reasons to love you every season. Lately my friend. I’ve been saying “I…

Possibly

Possibly. 10.8.15 You do your thing I’ll do mine Maybe… Maybe we’ll meet somewhere down this complicated line Maybe when you’re a little older Maybe when I’m a little different But also… Maybe not I don’t put my faith in maybes

Things We Found In The Fire.

Things We Found In The Fire 9.10.15 Some things aren’t meant to be saved some things are meant to burn. What we lost in the fire is everything we don’t deserve. From the smoke and the ashes come 9/11 theories and reminders of the Phoenix from the ones we chose to bury. Demons are our…
