all my love

oh how i love you!
you are a constant comfort
a forever friend
that never lets me down
and is always there for me when i need you.

you provide support
and tremendous relief from the stresses i carry
and the truth is
i don't know what i'd do without you.
without you in my life
my body, heart, and soul
would not be the same.

that's right, king size bed, i am completely in love with you.
and i currently miss you so much.

until we meet again later tonight,
you will be on my mind.

all my love,
lauren

what can i say
you have one of my best friends
and i don't like it this way

he sought you out for a real adventure
of fine tuning the eats you eat
but i miss him more than anything
way more than i miss eating meat

if you shower him with love
and the experience he needs to grow
i will be forever grateful
even though he misses the snow

i will try to be patient
until he comes back around
but you better make it quick
i'm about to hit the ground

Lovely October

This is a blog i wrote last year. But today being the first day of October, i felt the need to re-post it. :) I hope you enjoy it.

Imagine me as a tree
a beautiful tree
that stands proud
weathered
but still strong with roots that run deep.

As my leaves change colors
and become loose of me and my existence
i feel a relief
of letting them go
and watching their new colored beauty
fall
and spin
to the ground
and blow in the wind.

I can feel each leaf detach.
Yes, i will miss each leaf
each and every one of them
as they were a part of me
like memories, they only existed because i did.
They were my leaves.

Although winter will find me
bare
cold
and lonely without my leaves
i will remain uncovered
and vulnerable
knowing that to place all things that once were,
all things that used to be "me"
and "mine"

back onto me
won't make me any warmer.
To put back on me my leaves that have died
to hold on to the things that no longer thrive
doesn't bring life back
or offer comfort...
only pain of the constant memory of what USED to be.

My only option
my choice
is to wait for Spring
a new season
and allow new growth
new experience
and new life to start growing on me
not to replace the old
but to continue my journey of change
my evolution as a tree.

Happy October everyone. XO
