There's a place out there for us
Friday, April 13, 2012


We can be the kings and queens of anything if we believe
It's written in the stars that shine above
A world where you and I belong
Where faith and love will keep us strong
Exactly who we are is just enough
There's a place for us


What does it take to pursue someone? Actions come from intentions, and intentions come from one's heart. Is it me, or is it that I don't seem to find the sacrifice of chasing someone worth my inconvenience?

I hate to hear someone say there's no one there for them. I don't like it when someone's feeling lonely, and in that moment I want to tell them I'm here, I'll be here. And then I remember how my empty promise is going to add to the wounds. What makes people around me maintain close or intimate friendships with others?

Even though I tend to only appear when people are having troubles, I dearly and warmly enjoy the moments of seeing their smile back on their faces, or having their stress relieved. At the end of the day,
I really am contented knowing I was there to make a moment in their lives a little better even if it was once in a blue moon.

I know there is more to a good friendship than just appearing selectively, I just don't know what to do after that. During certain moments of reflection, I dream of an ideal world where I can be friends with the many people I'd love to, being there whenever needed, keeping the happiness, the smiles, the strength, and that loneliness would be the last thing they know.

Sadly, even in the only thing I know how, I can't do it well or consistently. Sometimes I wish I could simply be a shadow so I need not have to worry about keeping up as a friend. I could quietly move about and yet still do good.

Being a friend is hard. I don't like it sometimes.
