YOU'RE THE ONE (By Missy)


From time to time I still think of you, there are so many things about you that brings a smile to my face here and there, hey! gotta admit it wasn't all that bad with you. There were plenty of times when we used to be happy together, when you seemed to really loved me, when it seemed I was the only one that matters to you, of course I remember the fun times, the intimate moments I had with you, the times you seemed to really care and I remember the days and night when all I could think of was You ... Most of all, I remember the time I thought "You Are The One"


And when I think of you still to this day, sadly enough those happy times ended so fast in a blink of an eye and boy! I really thought "You Are The One" until you proved me wrong, you broke my heart as if it doesn't mean a thing, as if I didn't mattered, as if my feelings are just that ...Nothing to you. Who would've thought after all we've been through, the memories we've shared, the laughter we've had, the intimacy, who would've thought after I pour my heart out to you, you crushed it as if it's just a piece of paper to you, as if my heart is just a toy you're tired of playing and kicked it on the curve. But hey, guess what? It doesn't really say much about me aint it? after all, I am the one you hurt, I am the one you disregarded, I am the one whose heart you trashed, so that's all cool, you know why? although it aches my heart to this day to see what you did to it, to know how you did me wrong the way you did, my consolation is that I was honest to you, I was loyal to you, I was the one who did my best to work things out with us and you were so blinded with your own selfish ways. So at times like this, when you pop in my head although my chest still feels the tightness of losing you, although I still miss you from time to time and wishes that you were still mine... Guess what pal?
I'll keep reminding myself "Yes.... You Are the One Alright?!" The One Who broke my heart in two, the one who made me cry, the one who had hurt me so deeply.. and You Are The One ... Who left my heart broken, who broke it open ..


Just in case you haven't notice, when a heart is broken... It means it is Open... It may hurt so bad right now, I may still long for you and wish things were different.. but now I know, if you had proven yourself unworthy of my trust then, if you had proven yourself unworthy of my love then, you would do it again if I were to be dumb enough to trust you and believe in your lies again. But hey... I sure will always remember you as "The One Who Is Unworthy Of Me" and please don't come chasing me around when that someone comes along who will take care of the broken heart you left behind.. You shouldn't have broken my heart to begin with; you would have still owned it.


PRIDE: The toxic wall (By Missy)


Ever find yourself going through the day without speaking to that special someone in your life? Ever find yourself staying and keeping away from that special someone because you don't feel like apologizing or accepting their apologies? One of the readers asked me the other day, "Missy what would you do if you love someone so much but he has a dark past, someone with a bad track record in the past but you know he loves you and cares for you and that he had proven himself to be a changed Man." My response was "Well, you said it... HE loves YOU and cares for YOU and that he had proven himself to be a changed Man. Only YOU knows if he is indeed a changed Man and if his intentions are in your heart's best interest what seemed to be the problem in that? “Her response was "I think it's my Pride that gets in the way"


Ah Pride! That toxic wall! We humans sometimes gets too caught up in building this toxic wall between ourselves and the ones we love yet knowingly do so anyway, half the time we even realized that Pride is in the way yet we disregard the signs or even "Too Prideful to accept the truth that we are choosing to keep Pride in the way" and we wonder why there's so much animosity, so much hindrance, so much chaos in our interaction with the other person? Others may even excuse their Pride mistakenly claiming it to be called "Self-Respect" some may say "I aint going to put my pride down, it's his/her fault! " or "why would I be the first one to yield when I'm not the one who did something wrong" I mean, really, is there a rule saying we need to humble ourselves ONLY when we are at fault? Nah, I don't think so! Humbling ourselves to others especially when we are NOT at fault, is something we do for ourselves not for others, why? Because when Pride is in the way, our mind plays trick on us, making us feel as if we are high and mighty, as if we are more superior than the one defaulted us. Does it make us feel better though? Does it make us sleep peacefully at night? Do we wake up in the morning feeling loving? Feeling better? Knowing that the one we supposedly love and cared for is left alone feeling worse about themselves? I doubt it.


Pride is that toxic wall we build unknowingly between ourselves and the person we love half the time we create that toxic wall with full conscious awareness thinking it's the only way the other person will learn from their mistakes. Thinking if we are helping them see themselves. or how poorly they treat us or themselves. When Pride is in the way, it poisons everything around us, it gives the mind power to do its best...Playing tricks on us, planting the seeds of Doubt, of mistrust, of prejudice and biasness. When Pride starts spreading around in our hearts, in our mind, we loose focus on being understanding, on being compassionate instead we see more fault and flaws from the other person in turn keeps ourselves at a distance, it puts restrain on being able to be our true selves around the person we love and them....they keep away, they get scared, they feel self inadequate, they blame themselves, they loose focus on being humane, they loose touch of their own inner self.


All these only create sadness not only for the ones who are defaulted but the person they love and care for. Pride is a toxic which results in many misunderstanding, chaos, emotional and mental turmoil in any relationship. Pride is a toxic wall one build which only in turn either breaks the relationship or keep two people apart. Pride is that toxic wall one or two people creates in their relationship tall enough for them to no longer recognize each other's Heart. Ahh ....Pride.... a sad thing we humans sometimes welcome in our lives and revolve around it on our daily living and we wonder why we feel so uneasy? we wonder why our relationships doesn't work? And we wonder why we find our chest so heavy and our minds so drained?


LAST NIGHT (By Missy)


I saw an image of love, you, holding my hands as we sat by the sea shore. We watched the moon and the stars as you whisper a secret in my ear you had never told a soul before. Something so beautiful, something so sincere I could tell by the looks in your eyes the meaning of the word.. You whispered I love you to me and there I was, lost in your eyes, lost in your touch. The wind touched our skin, your arms kept me warm. Your voice so soft and gentle, I was out of words. I've never seen the world as beautiful as it is before, I've never seen nor heard of love so pure and so real ever before until you came along. The moon so bright it lits up the whole sky while you lit up the fire in my soul. Last night, you wrapped me around your arms kept me safe from all the things seen and unseen. I knew right there and then, I never needed anything or anyone else. You looked in my eyes with gentle compassion, your fingers brushing through my hair, I could almost feel your heart beat in the silence of the night, your breathing so calm and so serene, your face is angelic, you asked if I heard what you just uttered perhaps seeing the blank look on my face, perhaps the astonishment, perhaps the feeling of amazement is written all over my face? yet my lips were cautious, afraid that I may say something my heart is not ready to unfold. you held my hand tighter waiting for an answer, your voice was reassuring then you whispered "I will never break your heart" There I was wishing that the sound of the ocean covers the sound of my heart beating but you were quick to notice how my hands were sweating, nervous perhaps? maybe overwhelmed? before I could say a word, before I even realized there you were....your lips touching mine, softly, gently and you smiled whispering "My heart will wait". Last night, the moon and the stars are within my reach, you were right there next to me, your hands were warm, your eyes were compassionate, your voice soft and gentle, your body next to mine, we were so close, just you and I and nothing else mattered. Just the beautiful image of Love, something so pure, something so real, something so beautiful. As I slowly openned my eyes realizing you were just a dream I closed my eyes hoping, praying, wishing I'd dream of you again right there and then, so I can tell you... I do love you too and I know you will never break my heart but it was almost dawn dreams of you had passed again.. I sat down by my bed side, trying still to grasp the memory of you, but my mind is fully awake, once again you were just a dream... Someday somehow I know.... My dream would come true, to finally find the one who would make the image of Love as real as it was Last Night .... Ahhh...and so my heart awaits..


WHEN WORDS CUTS DEEP (By Missy)


We humans are fallible creatures, in all our flaws and imperfections we sometimes utter words out of anger, out of rage, sometimes we even say things we're aware would hurt the other person but we do it anyway only to make a point in any arguments or lover's quarrel, at times harsh and cruel words are spoken out of frustrations and later realized we can't take those words back, the scars are made, the pain has been inflicted towards the other person. More often than not,
