I am friends with someone's Mr. Right...

The hardest of feelings are those that you can't explain. It's like having an illness you don't know the name to, yet you are able to describe the symptoms. The feeling of...happiness that doesn't quite make sense to you. It's frustrating, you don't really know what it is that you want, but you know that you've been thinking about someone that has you smiling a lot lately. And you know you don't want it to stop. It's a wonderful feeling, some would even say blissful, but it's addicting too, always finding a way to get your next fix from the person that you can't seem to stay away from. I am friends with some lucky girl's Mr. Right. My best friend is the most amazing guy I have ever met without a doubt. He is very special for me because he is the only one that keeps me sane in this crazy world that we live in. He's someone that I wouldn't know what to do if had to live without him. Any girl that has met him is a fool for not snatching him up. The first time he referred to me as his best friend...I just remember feeling so important. I felt...wanted. There is nothing I wouldn't do for him and I hope he knows that. If there's anything I've learned as an outsider is that things fall in place for those who wait, and for those who wait even though they're sick and tired of waiting. I want him to know that he is the most important person for me right now and I care about him sooo much. (You got that? Nobody like you. Remember that!)

He's Good...She's...

He's really something.
He's such a player, and don't get me wrong...
He's good at his game. A master.
His smile makes girls vulnerable to his
intoxication.
His swagger makes them glance with
wonder.
His hands around her waist make her go "oh dear!"
His walk towards her, leaves her with
suspense.
He's a smooth talker.
He's a troublemaker and a bad boy...and he knows it.
He's good at his game. A master.
He's such a player.
Damn, he's good.

She's really something.
Such silent sweetness.
She's feisty too.
The return of her smile is
inviting.
The way she turns away to ignore him makes him walk faster towards her.
Her hand in his makes him wonder if she'll follow..
As he walks away and notices the distance, her far away figure has him thinking.
She talks with a cautious and playful tone.
She's too much of a good girl for him.
Such silent sweetness.
Damn, she's better...
...too bad she'll never be his...

Quote of the Day...

"Love is never wanting to lose faith, never wanting to give up, and never truly moving on. Love is knowing and praying in the deepest part of what’s left of your heart that they feel the same.

He [HAD] her...

"...he [had] her falling like rain

and at night

and in her dreams

he [had] her calling his name..."

-Miss Joyy

Just a small quote from my favorite poet of all time! I just wanted to share it with everyone because it's so deep and beautiful.

Delete before reading...right???

We've all felt that way right? Having something to say....having the words at the tip of your tongue! And then????.....Nothing. You take it all back. You're scared of the outcome. Delete before reading. It's the worst internal conflict. "I want to tell him, but I don't want to tell him." Yea, we've all been there... Sometimes everything is so...blissful without your truth. Everything is fine. For now. Yes, everything is fine until you go home after a great day and realize you want more. And you get mad at yourself for not ripping off the band aid when you had a whole days chance. You think "I want him to be happy, I want him to be safe." So you continue seeing them everyday, just glad you're spending time with them one more day. Thankful for their face, their voice.... and you're silent. Everything silent except for the ticking time bomb indside you. Nothing matters...just that moment. Not the fact that when you two part your ways, he's goes off oblivious, or the fact that when you get home, you're probably gonna beat yourself up for not telling him how you really feel. Yes, a crush seems more like a curse than an actual good thing. Nothing makes sense and at the same time, everything does. You don't understand yourself...how can you be so freaking silent??? JUST SAY IT!....no. What will happen? Awkwardness is a guarantee, were the answer to be a rejection, as polite as it may be. YOu don't want to ruin it, that friendship you two have. That closeness, that sincerity. So that's it....right? What? Do you wait till it passes? Pray to God you stop feeling that way and suffer all the meanwhile?...It's the worst internal conflict. Delete before reading.

I love you...and I hate you.
I need you...but I want you gone.
I have you...yet it seems like I've never met you.
I see you...but I'm blind.
I feel you around me...yet, I'm still cold.
You're mine...but I don't know you.
You make me smile during the day... but you make me cry at night.
You make me feel safe... yet, I'm the most terrified I've ever been....
I hate you....so why do I want you the way I do?

The following is an entry I wrote a while ago about a really smart guy that saw through everything except through my obvious feelings.

This is probably not the place to say it...
You probably don't even check my blogs,
And even if you did,
You probably think I am writing about someone else.
Oh my dear, you are so wrong.
It is you I am writing to.
You.
The same person I allow to look through my soul,
And yet, all you see are two brown eyes.
I am not mad at you.
I just want to know why.
Why am I just a please and a thank you?
How can you be so blind that you don't even see me...
Looking at you lovingly?
Yes.
Deny it.
Deny that you saw it coming.
Deny that you are starting to see the truth behind my almond-shaped brown eyes.
My dear, you are amazing.
I have never met anyone that makes me blush the way you do...
Makes my face light up the way you do when you walk into the room.
I love spending time with you.
Being around you makes me anxious and excited and energetic all at the same time.
Lol.
But maybe nothing will ever happen.
God knows you don't give me the time of day.
So I sit.
Silently.
Slowly fading into the background.
Yes I ramble, and you look at me like I'm crazy.
I ramble about you...
About how what I feel is so sincere and yet so stupid...
To think that if I wait just a little longer, something...
My dear, I am a subtle lady.
I drop hints...subtle hints....
Hints that are maybe too subtle that even someone as smart as you cannot decipher.
So yes. I am finally telling you this.
Maybe not private enough as I would like to be telling you this...
But maybe private enough to make you open your eyes...lol
...your eyes...
This is just me, overflowing with words.
It's okay to be silent now dear.
I've said it.
I have set you free with my secret...
I have set myself free.
Be happy now dear...
I just want you to be happy...
I just want you.... to smile.

Present Day: October 26, 2008- Yes, we write, pour our souls on paper about our latest crush. Then it doesn't work out or whatnot and time continues, we move on and we find ourselves with a pen and paper yet again, oh the inevitable. It's what? Pathetic? No, i don't like to think about it that way. Its the way things go. For writers like me anyway...You feel, you write, you move on...hmmm. We must admit though....each crush is unique. Each makes you realize something new...each is...special.

Confusing Breaks of Silence

M.D.J. : Its just...confusing. Ugh! Ok, thats my problem, i get used to something that when it doesn't go routinely, i get all ugh! One moment its every 5 minutes something all "aw", the next, its just so distant, like a stranger, i prolly dont make sense but translate that however.

K.J.D. : ahh. i understand completely.one moment its all: oh heyy. maybe its something more... blah-blah. sweeeeet.and then the next: junKkk. im so retarded. i thought it was something else. now i feel like a fool. errrr...so then you think to yourself: okey. im not gonna think too much into this anymore.but then when the person comes into contact with you later on it happen all OVER again.ehhh. complications

Have you ever felt this way? Ever talked to someone you think you may be making a connection with, and then out of the blue, it just turns to nothing? No hi...as if they never began talking to you. What do you do in an instance like such? You start pointing fingers (mostly at yourself) thinking that you said or did something wrong..or..are they just giving you space? I guess you just pick yourself up and just move on. Right??? Okay so I'm just confusing you cuz I wouldn't know what do do either...ugh!...hmmmm. Makes you think about it huh???

The Perfect Man

Every girl dreams of the perfect man. Whether it be a bad boy, a confusing character, or the sweetest creature on earth. Every girl wants to feel that "blood rushing to the face" feeling. We all wonder, "Where is he?", What is he like?" Ladies, now a days, finding good, honest, respectable men is like trying to find a mouse in a haystack, they're always moving and a few steps ahead, and not always maturely. I admit, preferable looks are a big bonus, but they're not everything. At the end of the day, I would chose the nerd that treats me like every girl deserves to be treated, rather than the jock that blows me off to go hang out with his buddies. This does not mean that I wouldn't like to pick and choose the handsome guys that pass by me in the hallways and on the street. But my goals love-lofe wise is to find a man that spoils me romantically. No, not with materialistic things, although that's also a bonus, but with words that make a woman feels appreciated and truly loved. A very important thing in search for Mr. Right, always be yourself. Then, the guy that accepts you for who you really are, with all your wonderful characteristics, as well as yor flaws, is worthy of your love. The truth is....men love to love, it's their dirty little secret. Men love to feel responsible for delicate dainty ladies such as ourselves. As a lady, we are to teach and learn to love truly and to be loved truly. The key point is patience. When the time is right, God will send us our destined-to-be that special someone for us. That is why we also have to wait for him. Trust me, he will be worth the wait

Love is a Rattlesnake

Love is a funny thing. Sometimes we don't want to accept love into our lives because we are afraid of getting hurt. But when we do finally decide to let love take a place in our lives, it can make us feel this indescribable feeling of joy. However, love can sometimes be a rattlesnake. You can tame it, but at the end, when things start to get a little shaky, your best bet is that someone's probably going to end up getting hurt. When a relationship gets shaky and unstable, sometimes we can't control it and the feeling that once made us feel giddy and special, suddenly throws us into a pit of anger and confusion. But through it all, we should learn to suck out the poison and work on the loose hinges in our relationship. If that's not the case, we must then learn to move on. We can't let a broken heart bring us down. When we do that, we are starting to give up on a feeling that needs us as much as we need it. Every broken heart is a chance to grow. If we could all just stop acting like stupid little cowards and just get out there, sooner or later, we can find someone special. But remember that when we do, we must try it this time without the rose colored glasses. One of the problems we have, as much as we say we don't, is that we become so "in love" with a person, that we can't see as clearly. I'm not saying to get out there expecting that every guy is going to break your heart, but as the saying goes "Falling in love is fun. Stepping in is wise." Remember, Love softens heart and toughens character.

A Gift to understanding men

Guy friends are a gift to understanding men. Our guy friends are our backstage pass to understanding how men think and feel. Having a guy friend is a benefit for both sides, it's a patient way to learn about each other's "gender groups" without the responsibility of an actual relationship. I'm going to put myself in the spotlight for a second and talk about my guy friend. He's somebody I can talk to about anything when I want a guy's perspective. I would say that I have taught him how delicate a girl can be and he has taught me how confusing yet sensitive a guy can really be. Okay, Spotlight off. Like I was saying, a guy friend is our shoulder to lean on when your boyfriend isn't talking to you or the girls aren't around to talk to. You know, it's funny how honest we can be with our guy friends rather than our boyfriends. The reason for that is probably because our guy friends are like brothers, our male confidant and our diary in which we confide our thoughts in. They hardly ever judge, but when they do, and we think about it, we realize....they're right. Any girl that has a guy friend knows this is true, so do me a favor, thank him.

A love potion and poison

As humans we want to know the good and the bad about the things that happen in our lives and around us, and we should have the right to know not only the good, but the bad as well. Good is a love potion and a blindfold. The Bad is a poison and a metal helmet. The Good needs the Bad because what is a love potion and a blindfold?, unfortunately something I like to call sweet ignorance. Now what is a poison and a metal helmet? Bitter ignorance. When we know of only the good that surrounds us and not the downside, we have drank that love potion and put on that blindfold, completely unaware of any obstacles that may come our way. The poison in the Bad is our anger and/or bitterness, the metal helmet a way to avoid the things that the poison in our lives have caused us. When we know the good and the bad, we have combined the two substances together, therefore creating wisdom and understanding. If we chose to eliminate the other two, we are making room for other things in our lives. However, should we chose to keep them, it is as if we have a "Break in case of Emergency" box. there whenever we need it, there to back up either the good or the bad. The leftover blindfold is there to let our hearts make the right decisions when others try to shoot us down, and the helmet is there to help us keep in control of a situation, and giving us an open mind. You see, without one or the other, we are either stupid, or....stupid.
