Always in My Heart

It seems we met such a short time ago.
In a couple of months it will be a year.
We have shared many beautiful moments
And have shed a few tears.
I remember the hours we spent talking,
And all the stories we told.
We talked about our fears and goals,
And of course your jokes never got old.
Every moment we spent together,
Was special in it’s own way.
But now the day has come,
And it is time to say goodbye.
We have to go our separate ways-
Oh, how it kills me inside.
But before I go,
There are some things you must know.
The first day I met you,
My life had completely changed.
And from that point on,
I knew that I loved you.
You brought joy and peace to my life,
And even gave great advice too.
Even when things were tough,
You always knew what to do.
I know I am still young,
And have many things in life to experience.
But one thing I know is true,
And that is the way I felt about you.
I wanted to be the one who made you laugh;
Just to see that smile everyday,
Would be enough.
I wanted to be the one who wiped away your tears,
And got rid of all of your fears,
I wanted to be able to see your face-
Look into your eyes,
And know everything was okay.
I wanted to be the one you would talk to,
When things got rough.
Even if it was the most scariest thing,
I wanted to be the one you could trust.
If I could take away all of your pain,
I would do it in a heartbeat.
I never want to see you hurting,
Because when you cry,
A piece of my heart dies.
I wanted to be the one,
That would catch you when you fall.
But I guess now,
Someone will have to take my place.
I am sad that it has come to this-
I fought with all my heart to save it.
I do not know if you will ever read this,
But if you do
I hope you know it was meant for you.
Goodbye may seem forever,
And farewell is like the end.
But in my heart you will always remain.
I will never forget you,
And if ever you should feel unloved,
Always remember that I loved you.

New Chapter

I didn't realize that it had almost been two months since I last posted something on here. Of course there have been times when I wanted to say something, but I would either be really busy, or I'd be too lazy. Sorry for all those who still check this thing-- I promise to start writing on here again more often. So, I'm sure you're probably wondering what I've been up to. Well, I guess you should know that I've recently started a new chapter in my life. It'll be a very long, scary, and time-consuming journey, but with God's help I'm sure I can get through it. Yep... you guessed it. This new chapter is University! I'm not going to get into too much detail about why I'm here, or what kind of stuff I'm doing, but I will talk a little bit about my time here so far.

I decided to continue living at home, so I'm currently just commuting back and forth from Cambridge to Laurier everyday. The orientation week didn't go as well as I thought it would, and there's a long story about that, lol. I just started classes this week and that has been interesting. The prof's seem to be pretty decent so far, and I think the courses I'm in will be fairly enjoyable for the most part. One thing I like about university is that it's such a more relaxing atmosphere here-- you can come in whatever clothes you want, and you can eat and drink coffee while you're taking notes. So, that part is good. However, the transition into University has been tough on me. I think it's partly because I took a year off, and therefore am not used to having lots of reading. Also, I'm finding it difficult making friends here. I mean, there are people I've talked to, and some nice people I have met, but I'm having a hard time connecting with anyone. So, that's making things worse for me, but it's only the first week so it's got to get better soon. I just need to cut myself some slack.

Another reason why I might be having a hard time with University is because I went into it with a lot of other problems going on in my life. Right before I started I found out that two of my close friends were moving-- one to Calgary, and the other to London. That of course, really upset me, and I'm having to deal with that on top of my school work. But anyway, I know God wants me here so I just have to trust in Him. I know He will get me through this! Thanks again everyone for reading this, and for your friendship. It means the world to me.
