"I get by with a little help from my friends"

"Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love."

My M. Thank-you for letting me come to you.

for your words of comfort and hope.

for always always being there, me a perfect stranger.

because to you, i can tell all.

i've only known you awhile, and i owe you so much.

why is it Mom's always know? They do. My momma always does. Today at lunch, she looked at me and asked if i had been crying. When i said that i hadn't, she said, "your eyes always tell the truth."

I am so thankful for you all. For your sweet concern. perhaps, soon i can say out loud my faults. i'm not strong enough right now. i'm not brave enough. i'm not without a little spark of hope and i'm never without prayer.

i know that in two nights i'm losing my best friend and boyfriend for awhile.

i know i'm not ready for that.

i know that i'm not silly enough to think that a lot can't happen in a couple of months to change things.

{oh if life was only so simple. if only I was that simple.}

i know i have a lot of growing up to do (even at 25) and i hope this time will allow me that.

i know i'm scared.

"Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken

Do it with a heart wide open..."
