I Thought it was You

When I received the call, my heart dropped, I couldn't talk. Disbelief covered my being.
Tears rolled down my face. I looked in the mirror and couldn't believe what I was seeing.

And to think I was angry with you. Didn't want to hear what you had to say, putting off our love for another day.

Not talking to you, ignoring your calls and texts. You made me mad and I didn't want to hear anything you said.

Staring at myself in the glass, I repeated, "Why was I so selfish? Why did I let pride get in the way?" The only thing I could think of was revenge and making you pay.

Hurt someone you claim to love? That's not functional. You get what you give.
And now I would do anything just for you to live...

Realizing I loved you more than I would ever admit. Reminiscing about the time we spent.

This experience has changed me. I remember death now. Reality is here.
It doesn't feel good. The pain is real. And oh how I want you near.

Cherish life. Tell your loved ones you love them. Talk things out. And don't live with regrets. Express yourself while a person still has breath.

I love you and I don't care who knows. The game is over. Okay, you win.
Stubbornness gets you nowhere. I know you still want to be my friend...

Hurt no more. I will never leave or dismiss you.
You've taught me a valuable lesson. Now, I know what to do.

You are still here. Thank God, I still have time left; time to tell you how I really feel. You don't have to wonder now you know the real deal.

I will practice what I preach, because this near death experience has made me appreciate your touch. Let me end this by saying, "I love you so much."

Because I thought it was you. I will never take you for granted again. Join me and allow our hearts to mend...

~Cherish Life. Treat others with respect, love, and gratitude. Never leave angry or upset. Express yourself and exit with love. Live with no regrets. And remember to keep it happy!

In Memory of Kirkland Randall. Thank you for placing smiles on our faces and making us look and feel beautiful. We love you, you will be missed dearly...

The Love I Took For Granted

The Love I took for granted. I thought it would always be around. I allowed my ego to inflate, interchanging kindness for lust. Refusing to give love, selfishly pleasing myself instead of taking time to love back. The Love I took for granted.


The Love I took for granted. Now that it's gone, I miss it. I foolishly thought it would stick around. It warned me, but I was sitting on my throne refusing to believe that anyone would leave me. The Love I took for granted.


The Love I took for granted. I treated it bad. I showed no respect. I was too afraid to be my sensitive, compassionate self. Too worried about my macho image, wanting no one to see me love. The Love I took for granted.


The Love I took for granted. Why did I fall asleep on it? Why didn't I cherish it? It loved me unconditionally. It made me smile. It was a crazy love, I have to admit, but now that its gone I miss it. The Love I took for granted.


~Appreciate the unique Love in your life. Listen to their needs, wants, and desires. Learn to compromise. Remember, emotions change by the minute and everyone moves on when "Love" no longer feels good. Never take Love for granted.

Only I can make me Happy

You saw me happy. Happiness you just couldn't stand. You thought you were the source of my happiness, but to your surprise you were not. Only I can make me happy.

You see, I love me. I love me from head to toe, inside and out. When I look in the mirror I smile. Only I can make me happy.


Dont fret, you'll find someone else's happiness to control, but not mine. I'm free from you, and free from the world's definition of happiness. I do the things that bring me true joy. I live in the moment with no regrets. And if it doesn't feel good to me, I don't partake in it. You see, its all about me. Only I can make me happy.


My happiness is here to stay, so if you're waiting for it to leave, you might as well go away. I changed the way I think, changed the things I say, changed the material I read, and changed the people I surround myself with. I have a true, positive transformation with a new outlook on life. You see, I love me. Only I can make me happy.

~Love yourself first and keep it happy.

Sexy Like Me

What is sexy? Sexy is everything you posess. Its your style, your signature, the way you walk, the way you express yourself, sexy is simply you. When you truly learn to love yourself you can create a new, sexy you. Have fun loving the things you hated in the past. Appreciate you for who you are now and work on the things you want to change. I'm stressing, gratitude is one of the keys to life, therefore you must be grateful for the person who stands before you in the mirror. God doesn't make junk or imperfections, it is crucial that you remember this. Make a song, post it on notes, yell it out loud. "I am beautiful!" "I Love me! "I am sexy!"





On your journey to sexiness, remember to keep it happy.
