Little Black Box

Little black box

When you left I put you in a box
wrapped you up and left you in the back of my head
Every now and then you pop up in my mind
leave me alone
it just isn’t our time

You left me so sudden
it all just went away
I didn’t have time to cry for you
so I walked away.

Everyone leaves one day
but it just wasn’t your time
that day in the hospital
a part of me died.
Every time someone left a part of me left too
it’s a wonder I’m still here
standing here
writing this to you.

With tears held back
I shiver in fear
because I don’t know who I’ll lose next
and drown out my tears

The world is so big
yet oh so small
why can’t you just leave when you leave
why do you linger in my dreams?

Letting go of pain
is the hardest thing I’ve had to do
Living in this world of mine
I do what I have to do

Today is another day
Today I continue to walk
Today I live my life
with you in that little black box.

Did you ever think of me?!?

Did You Ever Think Of ME?

Did you ever stop and think of me
Or did you just pretend I never existed?
Closed that door
made a lie about how you never loved me anymore
Left me standing there with my heart on my sleeve
wondering what I did wrong
Wondering how I can fix something that didn’t exist.

I wrote you a letter
you never wrote back
later i found out you held it in your sack.
Why didn’t you say anything to me
why did you hide who you were
don’t you know i would have loved you anyway

Standing there all alone
I cried
Wondering why you couldn’t love me
And with tears in my eyes I pulled out that paper and pen
started to write all the things you didn’t want to feel
But I told you the truth
and the truth always hurts
look in the mirror and see who you are
stop hiding
I’m right here.

No words can express the pain you caused me
I think that’s when I started shutting people out
I started to hide behind a wall
because behind the wall no one can see
all the pain you truly caused me.

I pulled out that paper and pen
started to write all the things you didn’t want to hear
But I told you the truth
and the truth always hurts
look in the mirror and see who you are
stop hiding
I’m right here.

Now it’s too late
you’re already gone
Why couldn’t you see the truth
that no matter who you were
I would always love you.
Why couldn’t you stop hiding?
I was right here…

~ This was written about someone that used to be in my life. They passed away without ever being able to talk things out. Life is too short, when you feel something let the person you love know because you never know when they’ll be gone. If I haven’t said it enough, I love you!~

Are you stupid, blind or just naive?

Are you stupid, blind or just naive,
Can’t you see what you are doing
is going to change everything?

This isn’t a game,
There’s people involved
You can’t pretend it didn’t happen
You can’t turn back…

In the midst of light
I see you
when I look at you
I thought I knew you
Now I look at you
and I see a stranger
A person who lies
A person who schemes
A person in which today I see
but tomorrow I flee

When the world seemed to crumble down
you shut us out
When you shed tears of sadness
You cried alone
When your heart falls apart
no one will be around
because in every moment of sadness you
pushed the people you loved away.

Today I open my eyes
and I SEE that nothing is ever really meant to be

But with every hope inside
I come to realize
that illusions of the heart
make you blind

It is not that you are stupid
blind or naive,
its that you are a child who just can’t see…

Stop being so blind…

Stop being so blind…

Can’t you see the truth
Why must you be so blind?
I guess at this age we just like to hide.

I don’t know what to tell you
What to say or what to do
I wish you can see when it’s just not meant to be.

Love is blind
the heart doesn’t want to see with the mind
Open your eyes and see the truth
that in the end he/she will only hurt you.

Sometimes I see you and it makes me so sick
to see someone with such a looser
it’s a waste of a breath.

In the end you’ll see the light
In the end you’ll understand
that what I want for you is only the best.

Stop being so blind, and open your eyes
Start seeing the truth that is right in front of you.

~Written a long time ago for a friend stuck in a bad relationship. Thankfully she was able to realize that he was no good for her, and she is now with someone she loves very much and who loves her back.

Marriage before Sex

Marriage before Sex

The Question:

Dear Kristin Nicole;

I knew someone for a short time , but I’m into him as well as he is into me. I like him so much but I’m a very religious person and I asked him if he has had sex before, he said yes, and this is a big issue for me and I don’t like it.

I respect the fact that he was very honest with me and that he started to get close to my religion in the short time we have known each other, but I’m afraid for the following issues:

First, he was having sex not making love, by this I mean he was not in a relationship, he just had sex with those girls, without actually loving them. He did it with these girls, girls that will just have sex with any man, and I don’t like this mentality. I can’t accept it easily!

Second, I’m afraid that I’ve never done it before, so I may not be as good as those girls he slept with before. He might miss these previous relationships after our marriage.

The third issue, is that my breast are very small, he may not like it and as you know I will not make love to him before we get married. (This is according to my religion). So I’m afraid that he won’t like it.

What do you think about these issues? I’ll speak to him about it but I need your opinion first .. & .. thank you in advance Kristin

~ Marriage before Sex

My Response:

Dear Marriage before Sex;

I understand that in your religion you have to wait to be married before having sex, if you are thinking of being with someone that does not have those same beliefs you need to accept their past. Just because he slept with other women before you does not mean that he will think differently of you. You need to be happy with who you are and what you have, don’t worry about having small breast or the fact that you have not had sex. If he is with you then he already finds you attractive. You do need to make sure that he understands your beliefs and that you are not going to have sex with him unless you are married. If he is okay with that and really cares for you then the rest will go from there. You can not judge someone for their actions and their beliefs because they are different than yours, if he is a good man and he treats you right, then you need to leave his past in the past. If you feel that you cannot get over the fact that he has slept with other women then you need to really think about being with him, because you do not want to hold that against him. It is very natural now a days for a man and a woman to have sex and not make love, it doesn’t make it right or wrong but it happens. You have to look past that if you want to have a relationship with him, and he will need to respect you for your beliefs as well. Remember to always love yourself, don’t feel insecure about your body, we are born with what we have for a reason and the person we are with will love us for who we are and how we look.

5 Romantic Proposal Ideas

Love You

5 Romantic Proposal Ideas

When you finally feel in your heart that the person you are with is the person you want to share the rest of your life with, it’s important to make that one lasting memory of proposing to her last a life time…

Here are five romantic ideas on how to propose to your girlfriend:

5. Vacation Getaway – Take a romantic vacation getaway, either to a remote location, big city or a place you both like to travel to often. Most places will accommodate you if you ask them to. For example; if you are going to a remote location like a private beach, ask the hotel if you can light some candles down the pathway to where you want to propose, maybe have some flowers and champagne waiting for you at the end of the walk way. You can also set up something nice in the hotel room (get a nice view so that it makes it all the more beautiful). In a big city, you can pick any beautiful area in the city to propose to and if you go to a place you normally travel to it will definitely be unexpected, try to find a spot that you can always go back to.

4. Beach / Lake View – If you live near the beach, sunset is the best time to propose… well that’s my opinion but picture it – Sunset, flowers, and proposal – WOW. If you don’t live near a beach you can propose by a beautiful Lake setting, anything near the water is absolutely beautiful and breathtaking.

3. Park or Historic Area – If you have beautiful parks in your area, you can go on a walking trail, try to have someone help you set up a setting so when you reach the trail it’s set up for a surprise. If you go to a historic area, I’m sure they will help you out and you can whisk your girlfriend away to a memory she’ll never forget.

2. Family and Friend Setting – If your girlfriend likes the attention and you are absolutely sure she is going to say yes, then surprise her in front of her family and friends. She will love the surprise and the attention.

1. Intimate Private Moment – Home settings can be just as romantic. If you cannot afford to go on a vacation or go somewhere special your girlfriend is not going to care, the most important part is that you try to make it as romantic as possible. You can set candles up all over your house, add some nice music, champagne and you. There is nothing more romantic than a private setting.

There are millions of ways you can propose to your girlfriend, and at the end of the day even the not so planned proposals are romantic in their own way. The most important thing to remember is that you love each other, in the end nothing else matters.

Happy engagement….

Valentine’s Poem – My dearest Valentine

My Dearest Valentine

Every year we bring out the flowers and chocolate, the cards and the gifts. We express to those we love, just how much we love them. If you are in a new relationship we show how much we care, and if you are just going on a date to not be alone on Valentine, we show companionship. Everyone loves to be Loved on Valentine’s Day, I wrote a poem about how I feel and I wanted to share it with you.

Happy Valentine’s Day – If you are with someone you love – Enjoy this day and share the love you have with each other. If you are alone – Have hope and never give up, because one day you will feel loved by that special someone.

My Dearest Valentine

Today because it’s Valentine’s I tell you how I feel
I tell you how much I love you and how our love is real.
I tell you all the things that I hold in all year long
I don’t know why I wait so long to express my love.
I should tell you every day the feelings I hold inside
All the words I feel but never say
All the love I feel but never display
Today because it’s Valentine’s I tell you how I feel
I want you to know that I love you
And that our love is real
I want to tell you how you make me feel
The butterflies inside
How every time I look at you my feelings grow inside
When you kiss me I never want to let you go
When you hold me I feel safe
When I need you, I know I can count on you
You aren’t just my love
You’re my best friend
Today and always you will be
My dearest Valentine.

I have the Itch…

Love To Write

Lately I have the itch to write. I want it, love it, need it.

Have you ever felt something in your life is meant to be, like nothing in this world can take it from you and no matter how hard you keep pushing forward and getting turned down, you just know that one day that dream will come true?

I feel that way about writing, and one day above all odds – I’ll make it to where I want to be.

What is it that you feel is meant to happen to you? I would love to hear about your passion.

5 Ideas for Valentine’s Day

Love

5 Ideas for Valentine’s Day

Each year we think about things we can do on Valentine’s day. Some of us with our boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife and others who are single and can’t stand all the happy go lucky people who are getting ready to celebrate this holiday that was invented called Valentine’s Day.

I have come up with 5 ideas for couples to do on Valentine’s day and 5 ideas for those who are single.

~ Enjoy your night, it doesn’t have to cost you a fortune to be romantic, and have a nice night, just be inventive and be with that person you love….

5 Ideas for Couples:

5. Stay in and light up some candles, fresh flowers, message oils and you have your own private spa…. This spa should definitely lead to a ‘happy ending’.

4. Order Out – who says you have to get home from work and start cooking a gourmet meal? Order your favorite dish, place it on some nice plates, pop open the champagne or wine and BAM! Romantic dinner for two that took you 2 minutes to prepare.

3. Some people like to go out to dinner, so GO OUT! Make reservations, it doesn’t have to be the most known place, try picking a quiet, little place no one really knows about, this way you get seated right away and it feels a little more intimate than a big franchise restaurant.

2. Celebrate Valentine’s Day the weekend before. If you want to go out and not worry about having to wake up the next morning for work, celebrate it the weekend before. There isn’t a law that says you can’t. Go out to dinner on Saturday, get a few drinks, and talk the night away. Then head back home for some extra ‘cuddling’.

1. Plan a weekend vacation for Valentine’s. My boyfriend and I always do a mini vacation to Orlando and we go to Universal and Islands of Adventure. You can say it’s become a tradition of ours. We love it, during the day we get to act like kids and go on roller coasters and at night we become grown ups and we go out to dinner and have some drinks.

5 Ideas for those who are single:

5. Girls Night – If you have any single friends, plan a girls night – Order in your favorite dish (pizza, sushi etc). Rent a comedy movie and enjoy your night.

4. Pamper Yourself – While others are going out to dinner and being all lovey dovey, you can be enjoying a day at the spa. Take the day off from work or go after work. Get a massage and just relax.

3. Wine it up…. Some of us just like to feel sorry for ourselves. So if that’s what you like to do, there is nothing wrong with that. Open up a bottle of wine, grab a girly movie to watch and sip away…..This is the one time of year that we’ll forgive you for feeling down.

2. Blind Date? Okay so I’m not really one for blind dates, but I’ve heard some good stories. If you don’t want to be alone, have a friend fix you up. If you can… try to take a peak at that picture before you make your decision.

1. Do Nothing – Valentine’s lands on a Tuesday this year, so go to work, and finish your day off like you normally would.

Whether you are with someone or not, I hope you have a beautiful Valentine’s Day.
