Some Desires are Better Left Unmet

While walking along, I could not help but notice the abundance of couples. The were everywhere I turned... under snow-covered branches...

under umbrellas...

walking their dogs...

yeah... just about everywhere. It made me kinda miss a certain person and wish he were out there with me, enjoying this winter wonderland - that is until I noticed a lady with her crazy uncontrollable dog. I thought to myself, "that does NOT look like fun. If I had a dog like that, I'm not sure I would take him for walks." That got me thinking about how we all look at the good things and want them (like lady probably saw people walking their well-behaved dog and decided she wanted one), but sometimes reality doesn't turn out like that. Not that I am comparing that certain someone to a dog, but I know that if he were actually there with me, it would not be like the cute couples I saw around me. I would probably be running for my life, dodging snowballs, or trying not get pushed into the nearest snow drift. I would be like the lady with the crazy dog wondering why I thought that was a good idea. Such is life for some of us. =P

So far away

I once read a quote by Thoreau that said “Nothing makes Earth seems so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and longitudes.” It has never been more true to me than it is now. I have too many friends too far away and I just want them home. I want to know they are safe.

So far away
I wish you were here
Before it's too late, this could all disappear
Before the doors close
And it comes to an end
With you by my side I will fight and defend
I'll fight and defend

Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
