learning how life plays out

i have new friends now. thanks to him, i've got the best ones imaginable and i've found the very best, closest friend in him. if you're going to spend forever with someone it should be that way, really. but i'll admit, sometimes i wish i didn't have to lose my old friends. because thats what happened. i lost them. and i learned forgiveness doesn't make things go back to how they once were. it doesn't fix everything and erase bad days. the clock keeps ticking and life doesn't pause long enough to pretend the past never happened. its bittersweet to see the photographs. those lovely girls smiling, looking beautiful as always. i'm happy to see them happy and still so close, but theres always the piece of me remembering when i used to be in the shot, too. funny how things change like that. but like i said, i have new friends - the best of the best, really. i wouldn't trade them for diamonds. but wouldn't it be sweet if i'd only have gained friends and not lost a single one?

Inn

slices of the flawless heaven

tasteful pieces of everything

perfect handfuls of perfection

those days were even better than i could have ever anticipated

side-by-side for days

next to the wonderful person i have

adventures i've never ventured to

until now

until then

picture perfect memories made

bringing me closer to everything i've ever wanted

needed, even

i never knew life could get this good

he took me on this journey and exceeded all my expectations

its beautiful and special

keeping me in the happiest place

rocks, dirt and muddy shoes

slices of heaven

tasteful pieces of everything

perfect handfuls of perfection
