Eyes on The Prize

How Can You Tell?
How do you know when you are in love?
Do you get butterflies in our stomach?
Do you forget what you are going to say?
Do you stumble and need to grab his arm to keep from falling?
I know when a guy is into you he makes fun of you, but if he is only attentive towards you?
Or just straight up ask you out without caring who sees
Because he is blessed instead of embarrassed
He hides no shame
Why?
He wants to make you his Queen
But you must let him
Let him treat you like royalty
Let him make you feel like you are the only person that matters

How Can You Tell?
Open you eyes instead of hide them with sunglaseses
The only way to tell if a guy is into you is to watch him around you
He'll go out of his way to stand near you, he will wear more cologne
He will buy your favorite drink at a club or bar and pay for it and secretly come up behind you and offer it to you
If someone asks funny around you he will defend you to prove you don't have to fight every fight on your own...
He will start dressing nicer, and instead of using big words just strike up conversation
He will offer to drive you if he has a car, or wait for the bus with you
He will watch you get on the bus and text you an hour later to make sure you get home safely
He won't feel bogged down if you made a mistake that had you two stuck together all day, to him that's the "best thing that ever happened"
He'll find a way to show up at your house party dressed to the nines, and dance with you in the middle of the floor as if it is just the two of you
He will stay over night if you get hung over just so he can wake up "next to you" in the morning
He will help clean up a mess he did not create
He will have a party and invite you just so he can see you
He'll buy your favorite music, food, and only talk about what you love so he can hear you talk all night
This seems like a lot, but if this guy wants you, he will do what ever it takes.
I've read a thousand love stories, watched tv, movies, and seen in real life, and men that want something they do not give up, trust me, both of my sisters and my parents are married
It isn't impossible to find someone just do what it takes to find them and keep them
Just open your eyes! Keep your eyes on the prize!

How Can You Tell?

I am a poet.

I love to write

I write to share how I feel about something
I write to let people know what is going on in my life, and hope someone can relate
I don't care if nobody can relate, we all have different lives
But I will still share, because I know someone out there is looking to relate
My job is to tell others to KEEP ART ALIVEI began writing when I was in elementary school
I wrote everything and anything about everyone and anything
I wrote about stuff that made me happy, sad, I wrote about things that made me laugh, cry, and feel sad, but I wrote about it
I love expressing my self
I love sharing my feelings
Even if they are sad, our sound depressed because it reminds people that we are human
We are all human
So never think you are better than or less than, we are all equal too
I have had my fair share if sad thoughts and still do, but I know my worth, and I know what my talents are

I am NOT afraid!!!!

Speechless

Some days have more drama than other days, but it is how you handle each problem. I for one hand do not like drama but find my self in situations where someone is either mad at me for be being honest (which happens often), or mad at me because I stand up for what is right. So forgive me for defending the people who cannot speak for themselves.

I believe in freedom of speech, but I also know if you are not careful and say something offensive, you can hurt people. I spoke about this in a previous blog, but it is true. Actions have consequences, words have consequences, just mind what you say.

I have been having some blogging issues the pat couple of days. Unsure what my main blog purpose is, and it is about me venting, sharing my experiences, and if I help others with problems, than so be it! This is my personal blog.

Having said that, let's move on!

Hmmmm

I have been struggling to write on my blog for the past couple of days. I have had mixed emotions for quite some time, but today I decided to just talk about one emotion.

I like someone. He is such a great guy, smart, funny, very caring, and most importantly, he loves God. That is big for me because most guys I meet they don't do "organized religion, or go to church, they believe in something just not sure what it is. I am single because I haven't found someone that loves God, goes to church, is active, etc. But I really like this guy, yet I don't know what to do about it. Do I give him clues, ask him out, call him...Everyone says "take your time, don't rush" Um, I'm in my mid-twenties, not saying I want to be married in a year or two, but it's about trying to start a friendship with someone without looking desperate.

I went personal because that is what I do. Hmmmm...He has a lot of great qualities, I am just not sure he sees me the way I see him. How do I get him to see me? Seriously, how?

HELP
