Without You

This life is ours for the taking, girl. It’s ours to wrap in warm blankets and rest in beneath the stars. It’s ours to love and laugh in. 

When we take the reins, yet let go just enough, we find that God has an unconceivable way of taking us exactly where we didn’t know we wanted to go. 

Life slowly falls into place and you slowly only want to think good things about people who walked away.

Respect takes over, it has the winning hand.

Life is moving on without you. I never really knew it could. 

You’re not here but there is still joy, happiness, and freedom with every ounce that I miss you with. Your love filled me once. I carry it with me still. 

May my heart hold on to the good and allow the positives to grow reasons for letting go. 

For when the letting go comes, I want it to be with a smile and tears. A warm embrace and a kiss on the cheek goodbye. 

For this had to be done in order to grow. This had to be done so that new adventures may come. 

May my life find meaning in the joy and swim in the freedom of Christ, but not be killed when hardship and struggles come.
