lets talk about bricksss

you were obsessed with the thought of "one day"
"one day when im older, i will be free"
"one day, you'll see"

but what about today? you and me. we can still be free.
the thought alone consumed you
until one day i couldnt see you.
i couldnt see your beautiful smile.
i couldnt hear your stories of boys, and of laughter.
i couldnt feel your tears of your first heartbreak.
all i could feel was the cold hard brick labeled
ONE DAY.
no knife, saw or even bulldozer was big enough to knock that
brick wall down.
all i ever wanted to do was set you free.
you blocked me out.
you blocked your view of everything around you.
you hate me.
you think i betrayed you.
but you see i never meant to hurt you.
i just didnt see the "one day" thought inside me. 
i saw the beauty of the trees
i saw the moon fight back to shine its brightest
i saw our family. and how much they loved you and me
i didnt see why you would want to let all this go
all i ever wanted was to set you free and YES we all have bricks but that doesnt mean you have to block your view of all the things around you. our view is beautiful you see.
i hope one day my love can make you see all the buildings ive made.
brick after brick after brick after brick.
because all hard things can be beautiful.
i hope one day you see.
and when you do, ill be standing right by you
ready to show you all the brick buildings you can tour through.

  1. "What about today" living in the moment is so important :) I love the way you write.
