I prayed for you

February 14, 2022

"Cause every single day, before I knew your name I couldn't see your face, but I prayed for you. Every heartbreak trail when all hope failed. On the highway to hell, I prayed for you." I prayed for you. For so long. Through heartache and blurry eyes. Through headaches and moments of weakness. For as long as I can remember, I prayed for you. I prayed for your unrelenting love even when I push and pull you away. I prayed for your selflessness to give your whole being to your little family. I prayed to have someone to dream with and make dreams come true. I prayed for a best friend. I prayed for us to share the load of life. I prayed for comfort in the form of a person. I prayed to be lead home to you. I prayed to lay in your strong arms. I prayed for your rugged exterior, but delicate heart. I prayed for love, to feel loved, to have someone to love. I prayed for someone to keep the demons at bay. I prayed for your strength in my moments of weakness....

I once heard someone say,

If you don't change you do not grow,

But I waved the thought away,

For who were you to think they know,

I'd always stayed the same,

A heart that thrived within the cold,

And I had no desire to change,

At least that's what I had been told,

But deep within my mind,

A thought grew slowly, bit by bit,

Until I felt trapped in my skin,

For it no longer seemed to fit,

There's a whole world sitting out there,

Changing every single day,

That proves it's nothing to be scared of,

If you do it the right way,

For a day afraid to turn to night,

Will miss the silver moon,

And a flower that refuses to change,

Will never get to bloom,

I had thought I was a thorn bush,

Only good for snagging clothes,

But if you do not dare to change,

You'll never find out you're a rose.
