Meant to be

This was something that I was writing to a friend that transformed somehow and became this, I am really starting to think I was born in the wrong century or even the wrong planet.

Meant to be

As I sit here in the quiet of a sleeping house

my mind begins to wander and I start

think about you as I always do causing me

to wonder where you are at this very moment

and what you might be doing right now then

I start to realize how much I truly do

miss you, not necessarily being together as

a couple but the texting all hours of

the day and night or talking

about this

and that, listening to what I need to say,

or even as I read you a piece of poetry, you

see I love you so very much

and I always will

but more in a way, you may never really

understand. Throughout my

entire life I have

always felt that I was just I guess a little

bit different than anyone else

what I mean

by that is I think about so many more things

then most people, deep and

meaningful,

well at least to me anyway, for example, I

cannot understand why so

many people

care about the color of another's person

skin, why people do not

understand

that fighting over religion is absolutely

ridiculous because in the

first because

it is manmade, created by the few to control

what you do and your money,

or why it is

that greed needs to control everything, from

law enforcement and tickets

and the revenue

that it brings in, that is why we have more

laws than any other country

in the world

yet we fight and die in freedoms name

to the pharmaceutical company's

who can anything but would

not be

around to collect trillions of dollars if they did,

anyways what I am trying to

say is in all

of my life and all the many people, I have

never met anyone who inspires me

the way you do, please do not get me wrong

there are many who do inspire me too

and I love them all, but you have become

my muse completely

intertwined in all of my writing,

all of my passion, my thoughts,

my dreams, poetry and I have grown

to now believe

that you can very much

indeed be

in love with more that one person at a

time, I

have always loved so much

harder than

just about anybody, always throwing

everything I could give into

it giving

more than I had to give, asking very

little in return, I know that I was so

very lucky to have what we did at the

time that it happened for in that very

moment that God had given

us in that

short amount of time, you were able to fill

my heart so full of ink, my

mind so full

of words, and even gave my dying soul

an incredible amount of passion so much

so that the flames from that fire will

never go out, you may not

even know

how or what you did but when we kissed

that very first time you somehow

left a very big piece of you

inside of

me, a gift and no matter what may happen in

our lives I know that when

I die and

go back home to God, no matter how

hard they try to erase this place

down here a piece of you

will always

and forever be with me as a part of me

to be carried throughout

all of the eternity

within my soul and who really knows maybe

in our next lives, we will once

again dance

out under the stars holding each other in

our arms either as lovers

like we were

at one time or friends Iike we are as we will

always be, either way, thank

you for

letting me get to know you and for

believing in me when nobody else will

including me. Tonight as I

sat outside

I did see a beautiful shooting star as it

fell out of the sky, so I closed

my eyes

and made a wish, not for me but I made my

wish for you, I wished that

you will

find peace someday within all the turmoil that

lives deep within you, and

that you

will finally find your happily ever after

so that one day you can truly be the

beautiful queen, you were always

meant to be.
