We were sitting on
the beach, basking in
the sunshine, and he
opened the bottle of
rose and said
don’t moments like
these last forever?

The last time.
I lay in bed, gazing
at the sky as clouds
roll past. The sun beams
down onto my face, and
all I can think of is
the last time we kissed.“The last time.” – sugar and sandalwood

The perfect place.
Isn’t it funny
how the things
we want, but
don’t get
lead us exactly
to the perfect place? -
Time.
And over time,
you will shed
the layers of
insecurities
and untruths
that you
patched onto
yourself
like an
uncomfortable
quilt.“Time.” – sugar and sandalwood

Learning to let go.
I’ve had things
ripped away from me.
I’ve given things away.
Some things,
I’ve lost.
And in the end,
it all remains the same:
I learned to let go.“Learning to let go.” – sugar and sandalwood

Your worth is limitless…
Your worth is
limitless,
like a vibrant,
fragrant
field of lilacs
swaying
back and forth
winds
of the
spring.“Your worth is limitless…” – sugar and sandalwood

Life expands.
Life expands
as it goes on.
Opportunities
open wide
with experience.“Life expands.” – sugar and sandalwood

One year.
Even though a year
has passed, I still
think of you and
what we could have been.“One year.” – sugar and sandalwood

I waited
I waited for you
like the sand waits for
the ocean tide to roll back
in on the beach. Shifting it,
rejuvenating,
making it new again.“I waited” – sugar and sandalwood

Chasing love.
Chasing love is like trying
to catch your shadow.
The harder you run,
the faster it runs from you.
Stand still, effortlessly still,
and it’s right at your fingertips.“Chasing love.” – sugar and sandalwood
