perfect balance
as i dug through layers of dust in search of a very old email, i came across other emails
i had a flash flood of memories
the kind that makes you smile,
yet at the same time, the kind that wrenches your heart.
how far i've gone
how deep i've loved
how high i have flown
how low i have fell
how much i've cried
how much i've laughed and sang
through it all, in those dark times
i was lucky enough to know someone who shared the same boat as me
who wasnt in front of me to lead the way
or behind me to push me on
but who was beside me
held my hand and told me
"i've been there, on somedays, i still think like you do, and u know, its ok."
that person taught me, that it really is ok to cry and that i dont have to be so strong all the time.
and in reality, on some days, i really dont want to be pushed or dragged.
on some days, i just want to turn to my side, knowing that there is a shoulder for me to cry on.
thank you, you.
