Ten Years Ago Today

Ten years ago today, I was an 18 year old college sophomore.

Ten years ago today, I lived in New Jersey.

Ten years ago today, I had the day off.

Ten years ago today, my mother woke me up in a frenzy and turned on my television.

Ten years ago today, I didn't believe it was real.

Ten years ago today, I thought it was a hoax...or a dream....or something other than the horrific reality.

Ten years ago today, my older brother worked next to the world trade center.

Ten years ago today, my mum was in a panic because she couldn't get a hold of my brother.

Ten years ago today, the phone lines were jammed and it was near impossible to get a hold of anyone.

Ten years ago today, God granted me with a sense of peace - I knew my brother was okay.

Ten years ago today, my brother over-slept and didn't go into work.

Ten years ago today, I picked up my best friend and little sister from high school.

Ten years ago today, all the local businesses were shut down.

Ten years ago today, I cried out to my God.

Ten years ago today, I felt His presence.

Ten years ago today, too many people were affected.

Ten years ago today, too many people were hurt.

Ten years ago today, too many people lost their lives.

Ten years ago today, too many people lost loved ones.

Ten years ago today, this country came together.

Ten years ago today, we vowed to never forget.

Today, that wound is still fresh for so many.

Today, that day is still vivid in my mind.

Today, I know that God is still with us.

Today, we remember.

How can you say you love someone one day and cut them out of your life completely the next? Was is it all a lie? I don't understand how one fight can tear apart something that seemed so real. I don't understand how at this age you would ignore your significant other. I thought he loved me. I thought he cared for me. I thought he wanted to be with me. I thought I had found happiness. I guess i thought wrong.

i gave you my love in vain

my body never knew such pleasure

my heart never knew such pain

you leave me so confused

now i'm all cried out over you

Guys suck. I'm a stupid girl. I should listen to my friends. (Heather & Sneha-I love u girls. I should adhere to your advice.) I want a guy who actually likes me as much as I like him. Someone who calls me when they say they will. Someone who treats me with respect. Someone who wants me around. Someone who makes time for me. Someone who appreciates me. Is that so hard?? Apparently....
