Valerja Poetry (9)

It begins long before the first frost -

Somewhere between memory and reality.

It touches us with compassion

and whispers to us of hope.

It tiptoes into our hearts with elation

and opens our souls to faith.

Its name is Christmas and we have yet to learn

How to keep it close for more than

this one brief, shining moment.

Someday, perhaps...with love.

You said that you would always be there for me.
But you weren’t.
When something happened I depended on you to be there.
But you were fishing.
I needed to talk to you.
But you were "busy".
Why when ever I needed you,
you were just gone?

Breaking up is hard to do, but getting back into the dating game can be even harder, especially if it has been a while and you aren't psychologically prepared for it.

Being psychologically prepared means getting out of your own way and having faith that fate will provide you with another partner, just as it has so many times before.

Your first step is to heave that chip off your shoulder, get out of your bathrobe, get a make over and stop spending your nights in front of the television watching "Cheaters" or calling your friends for sympathy.

If you don't feel that you are not quite done wallowing in self pity or anger, by all means continue as you were, but realize that there will come a day, sooner or later, when you will become bored with yourself and want to face the real world again.

Once you have cried, screamed, wailed, stopped blaming, stopped shaming and forgiven yourself (as well as your ex) you are ready to go on to the next step towards becoming a bearable human being again."

As I am awakened swiftly
From a deep and peaceful sleep
My heart is racing wildly
Like a million little feet.

The panic that I used to feel
Has turned to something new
A feeling of strength and power
That I have somehow learned from you.

You have empowered me
To take a look within
And find the love of a friend
Where fear had always been.

So, now I reach into the dark
And feel the ray of light
From the love a friend sends to me
Shinning bright into the night.

I know when I say I love you I mean it,
I haven't felt this way about anyone before,
yes we have some distance between us:/
but baby I do love you,
and only you!

when I hear your voice I smile:)
when you tell me you love me my heart sinks:)
when we talk about moving in together it makes it all seem real:)
maybe I'm not living in a fairytale after all:)
baby you are the only one for me
and I mean it.

even though everyone has their opinions
nothing is gonna change how I feel about you!

baby all I want you to now is that
I love you and only you
and I'm gonna be by your side through thick and thin:)
just like you have been there for me:)

To all honest lovers (o)

Howcome I feel the way I feel?
Why do I know my love for you is real?
What to do, now I know my love is true?
Cause there’s no chance for me and you.

To another person you belong.
And I know, that I was wrong.
But I have no regret,
Only sometimes I wish we had never met.

I really can’t help how I feel,
And I hope the things you said were real.
You still have my heart,
Please, please don’t let it fall apart.

We all need someone
To talk to in our life,
A friend to whom we run
In times of stress or strife

A friend who's always there
Throughout the years,
A friend we know will care
And take away our fears.

A friend who's always near,
Waiting for our call,
To wipe away our tears,
And lift us when we fall.

A loving friend indeed,
On whom we can depend
To fulfill our every need -
Thank you, precious friend

My Search


I've searched for you
Beyond the stars,
Throughout the years,
And so very far

Somehow I knew
That you were out there,
But that's the thing...
I didn't know where.

When I couldn't find you
I just kept crying,
But I couldn't give up...
I had to keep trying.

He’s out there, I'm thinking.
I continued my search
For the love I was seeking.

From hour to hour,
And from place to place,
I didn't give up
In this heart-rushing race

The days went by,
As well as the years
It had brought me nothing
But painful tears

Where are you now
All of my life
I long for the moment
To call you mine.

In love's embrace
We'll be together.
Our love is protected,
And will last forever.

It hurts to know you're hurting
Because you're so special in my heart
The pain that you are feeling
Is tearing me apart

But know that love has a way
Of easing all that's wrong
Together we can make it
If we hold on and just be strong

Know that you're not alone
In all your adversity
For by your side through and through
Is where I'll always be
