The tin man

I thought writing about my heart would be easy

But I'm sitting here speechless as if I have misplaced my heart

Maybe I am the tin man

As I look for something to write about

You are always the first thing that pops in my head

Like I pill I can't seem to stop popping

I can't go an hour without my heart whispering your name

I don't ever want to lose you

or this feeling

With every breath of life you give me you keep my heart beating like a song on repeat

I'll never forget that song playing in the car in downtown Salt Lake as you fell asleep on my shoulder

I looked at you and thought "I am the luckiest guy in the world"

My heart has never pumped so fast in my life

At that moment I knew my life would never be the same again

My nature poem

Oh how I love the way the sun peaks through the trees right before noon.

It peaks through like a kid trying to sneak out at midnight.

Like parents spying on their sons first girlfriend.

I love the transition between winter and spring.

Almost like a new birth.

So much dullness that gets a spark of life and all at once

life begins again.

We are like nature.

Oh how I love the smell of freshly poured rain.

The sound of the "pitter patter" on my window could keep me entertained for hours on end.

Oh how I love the sun as it rains down its sunshine on me giving me a feeling of purpose.

This is what I yearn for.

To be Alive

The last time

I wish you always knew when the last time you saw someone would be.

Would we maybe say something different?

Or make the time we have together more meaningful?

But why don't we just live life like it was our last time together?

Our time together doesn't have to be anything grand or spectacular.

All it needs to be is meaningful.

Love

Appreciation

(excuse my cheese)

But it's not cheesy.

Human life is precious and should be treated as such.

Appreciate those who you love and who love you.

Because you never know when the last time really will be the last time.
