Because I Have Known
I have loved once upon a time
I have danced that crazy dance
I have sang that lover's song
I have begged for a second chance
Thought you could only have one love
Thought that he was my only one
Thought you were just a passing moment
Thought my feelings for you were done
[Yet here I am, and there you are
The feelings' back and stronger than they ever were.
So should we try, to give it a shot
Or should we admit that all is lost?
Because I have known love
Because I have known
And this is real…]
M heart it has been broken
My head has lost where to go
My eyes have spotted you and
My body aches for you to know
You make me smile
You make
In the light of the day,
You were meant for me.
But when darkness overcame
It was harder to believe.
So I pulled my heart aside
And the walls they had grown
Were too thick for one to enter.
All along I should have known.
I'm lost inside the darkness,
The light shall come no more.
I broke it with my screaming,
As I pushed you out the door.
[And no more, no more,
Do I know what to do.
And I'm lost, lost...
In the darkness without you]
I've been looking for the answers
To a test that had no key,
A door that had no lock,
And a love never meant to be.
I'm reaching for a hand,
That was never mine to hold.
And I'm screaming to
she's going to strike the match
that will burn down the bridge
to a broken past
because it's time to look ahead
she's going to grab that book
fill it with all her pain
then she's going to watch it burn
watch it burn away
[because it's time to move on
it's time to make a change
it's time to feel alive
open to an empty page
time to dance by herself
sing a solo song
time to understand
that the past is gone]
when you look at her
the fire will dance in her eyes
because it finally happened
she has finally realized
she knows not to reach out
because she will be burned
it's a greater lesson
she has finally learned
[because it'
dear mom and dad,
i don't know where to start.
but i've got bad news
oh i've got a broken heart
can you help me out
i need to move my stuff
guess my love
just wasn't enough
it's not his fault
that it went this way
i acted like a fool
and i pushed him away
don't blame him for his actions
he did his best
so i guess it's up to me
to clean up my mess
dear mom and dad
i don't know what to say
never thought our love
would end this way
can you help me out
i need to move on
but my heart's still stuck
on a boy that's gone
i can't be mad
so neither should you
i just wish i knew
what i should do
he says he doesn't love me
a
in the silence of the night i can hear you
in the brightness of the day
i do all that i can do to block it out.
each day is a battle against my feelings
and even though some times i win
there is a war for me to fight
my heart is at the front line
taking bullets from your ignorance
while my heart takes another hit
my mind consults the chain of command
because God always has a plan.
[oh i love you, and i miss you
so i'm gonna keep praying for you.
i'll pray that you move on, and don't hurt
and don't think about me, too.
because you deserve to be happy,
even though i love you and miss you,
so i'm gonna keep praying for you.]

So turn up the music and dim down the lights
I'm gonna show you; one hell of a night.
'Cuz this girl is all legs and can make her body move,
Show the whole world that I've got something to prove.
I've got my hair down, baby you turned me loose.
I'm gonna turn heads- it's my night to seduce.
['Cuz I'll be the one dancing non-stop and you'll see just what I got.
You can't stop me now because the ball hasn't even begun to drop]
I can't help it, if my body looks good;
but baby I'll use it to spice up the mood.
I'm out for the fun and you can't bring me down;
You're just a face in the testosterone crowd.
['Cuz I'll be the one danci
so go on and let the rain pour
i'll stand strong and take some more
bring me pain or bring me the sun
just tell me i can be yours
captivated by the colors
burning from the touch of lovers
please tell me what you want
and i'll be there under the covers
[becaus i'll be your anything
i'll be your strength when you're weak
the lace of your fingers
even be the answers you seek]
softly music plays from the outdoors
couples pairing off onto the floor
becoming the only one left
my heart aches, asking for more
people say that we belong together
that our love was meant to last forever
clearly, you thought differently
you moved on and

I believe in miracles, the goodness of mankind, I believe in heartbreak and the healing strength of time.

It has been almost exactly one year since my last post. Why is that?
The answer is simple:
I have begun a career.
I am no longer a college student. I am now a teacher. I educate young minds and I have gotten so busy and so focused on my career that I haven't had the opportunity to write. However, I also haven't had the inspiration to write.
I have barely attempted to write because I have been so numb to my feelings. The truth is, after my fiancé left me three ish years ago I have had little desire to feel anything. I have built this wall around me that limits people from getting in and my feelings from getting out. However, I have l
First post of the new year. It is going to be short and sweet.
Tomorrow I start my first day of student teaching. By next Monday, I hope to have contacted and mailed Council Grove High School my resume and teaching stuff in an attempt to get a position they have available. I am absolutely terrified. Mostly, I am afraid they will hire me. Talk about being a grown up. Anyways, that is all I really have to say.
Oh, and my birthday is in 10 days. No big deal.
One more thing, I am reading 11/22/63 by Stephen King. I have been at it for 4 days and am 686 pages into the novel. Only 840 pages total. So close to being done and I am in love with it!
Alright, so I am sick so I am going to make this journal quick haha.
First of all, last Sunday I started feeling icky. So I fought it and fought it and when I got home Monday night and woke up Tuesday morning at Mom and Dad's... I was sick. So I rushed to the clinic to get antibiotics for my tonsillitis and then at 10am we were on the road to Texas and I was miserable. I slept for most of the 10 hour drive and felt like straight raw garbage. But it was cool.
Tuesday night we had pizza in the hotel and went to sleep. Woo. Then Wednesday we ran errands (ie. we repurchased the wedding and Christmas presents Matt and I bought the happy couple b
