Caution Tape

        Stay away. There is nothing good that is going to happen here. Don't you understand that is the your warning. Baggage would be an understatement in this instances but hey, you should of seen the caution tape. So I use these cheesy pickup lines on these girls. Like pulling out a pack of sugar and telling her that she dropped her name tag. Maybe that God will be upset when he realizes that he is missing one of his angles. Or I ask her if it hurt... Did it hurt when he gave you everything that you had ever wanted and then one day ripped out your heart. Sometimes I feel like super man I use my x-ray vision to look right through these walls that you have built. I know that look on your face that is the fake smile like it is new shirt that you got at the store so that you put on while getting ready to go out so no one will ask you what is wrong... I know this look because we shop at the same store. Being happy just didn't seem so safe anymore. There is just something missing though. While you feel safe you are not happy... Don't you understand that you are amazing. Your heart is an orchestra and people would think that John Williams was in there directing it. I know it sounds strange, but I have to think that guy who broke your heart. If it was not for his mistake you might of moved into that relationship only to be stuck for the rest of your life. The thing is now you are free. I know you sit in your room at night and cry but there is no need. I am not saying I am perfect but I am saying that I am here. Like any good person I am whatever you need me to be because I just want you to be happy, but don't get it twisted, I do love you. You wanna know how I got these scars but I am reluctant to tell you. Just like I see through the walls that you put up and can see though the clown makeup that is on my face coving the scars from all of the shrapnel that is my life. I lie. I tell you it is because of some girl but it is not. The thing is that I only have scars and no cuts. The difference is that my scars have healed and I have learned and become a better man from them, but cuts are what a person refuses to fix in their life. Up until about a year ago I was coved with these cuts. Then I grew up... But I don't want to tell you all of this. Don't take this the wrong way, I do trust you. I trust you so much that I look into your eyes, now that is not something I do often because I am afraid of what I might see in people. With you it is all good. Just remember no one can make you feel inferior without your permission, so the next time that he lies or cheats or hits you write him a thank you note with no return address. Resist all temptation of going back because you think that you need him because you don't. Truth be told I might not be what you need either but that is okay, I will just help you with your bags.

Always Love and Happy Thoughts
