STARING INTO NOTHING
I would tell you that I want to go to the beach for a while
I want to sit on the sand, just staring into nothing
Play with my feet in the sand, let it run through my hands
Feel the wind playing through my hair
If I could share my heart with you right now
I would tell you that I want to go for a walk in the mountains
I’ll walk slowly, breathing the fresh air deep into my lungs
Feel the rays of the sun on my body
Shouting out loud to hear my own echo
If I could share my heart with you right now
I would tell you that I want to go for a walk in the rain
I want to feel every drop on my face and body
I want to look up to the clouds, close my eyes and just stand there
Let it rain and wash all over me
If I could share my heart with you right now
I would not know where to start
I’m just sitting here
I’m just staring into nothing
Inspired by a dear friend

i wish a guy was writing this for me….(considering that i am going through a divorce..it is pretty awful!)
it would be utterly delightful!
anyhow..just to feel giddy for few moments is cool too!

I am so sorry you’re going through this difficult time…I’m sending you love and hugs ~ Amanda

Awww… This was soo lovely…
“If I could share my heart with you right now” — The “you” in this is always beside the “I”…
share your heart.. let all know… play in the rain, soak up the rays, toy with the sand… the world’s yours !! 🙂
A very beautiful and touching poem…
Have a bright and beautiful day, Amanda!!
