  • January 31, 2009 at 10:40am, I left Japan with this as my view from the airplane.February 1, 2009 at 7:45am, I awoke with a view of this: A new chapter of my life is beginning. It is bittersweet as I have left my heart in Japan, but I am also eager to try a new adventure. Today was an interesting day. More details on that to come soon as I will eventually write…

  • It’s all too much to bearThat each time I start to really careMy heart is rejected and brokenMemories are my only token I’ve questioned if God just hates meI’ve questioned if there is something I can’t seeI’ve questioned if it’s not me, then who?‘Cuz obviously, it’s not just you. All I want is to be loved and allowed to loveOf all things – time, space, location – for it to be aboveBecause I…

  • Fear of hurt, failure, disappointment, sadnessFear of the unknownFear of what might be or rather what might not be…Fear is what holds you back from love Despite the strong feelingsDespite the physical attractionDespite the spiritual connectionDespite these things you hold back from love How can you let it all go to waste?How can you let it all pass us both by?Why won’t you even give it a try?Why won’t you even give it…

Time is quickly passing by…Tonight I let myself truly cry. Too much I already careWanting to trust, to love is this snare. Do you feel the same?Or is it still too much to give this a name?…

  • For a moment I’d like to know you.For a moment I’d like to meet you.For a moment I’d like to be accepted by you. For a moment I’d like to feel your arms.For a moment I’d like to hear “I’ve missed you”.For a moment I’d like to be truly loved by you. Will that moment ever come?
