I Could Use Someone Like You

In these days of night - who will notice me?
That fire that holds us, whole and free.
Breathe, crave, feel and know.
My own eyes see but cannot show.

I want it. I need it.
This mind deceives and cannot grow.
I want it. I need it.
This heart receives and will not bolt.


In these nights of light - who will challenge me?
This sea can break us, it will be.
Lungs take in the air that we know.
My own rhythm cannot slow.

I want it. I need it.
This mind deceives and cannot grow.
I want it. I need it.
This heart receives and will not bolt.

Epilogue :


I was undoubtedly imparted with this new sense of well-being. Life was slowly dwindling back into rhythm. My likeness of Manchester was manifesting itself and it was visible now that this was where I belonged. I was prepared for anything. Like every civilian that remained here I was ready to get wet. Drought had become my friend, but somewhere inside my heart I prayed for a storm, and I’d gotten it. Thick clouds with thunderous monstrosities bore down on me now. The release was magnificent. Rob always said it would be easy. I propose in time it would be. For now I was satisfied. Release bubbling through my veins, I was free. My heart was bound by blinding light and dusty shade, yet my mind was an inch from the finish line and would soon complete the race it’d been striving for.


It was now the month of December and the rush of the winter winds blew through me with power and authority. I hadn’t heard from him since he left almost a week ago, and I wasn’t expecting to. I was ready to tear my way through my goals and dreams. I wanted to breathe smoke. Rob and I had mutually agreed that I should take the position offered to me at Elle Magazine, but was I really meant to seek my destiny and find it, not hidden away, but in plain sight? I had bought myself a one way ticket back to New York and there was now nothing in my way but open sky.


What is love but an undiscovered disease? It’s only something that eats away at your heart until your left for nothing but yourself. Was I not better off without this dreadful sickness? I was determined to stay away until one day they found the cure – that magic cure for heartbreaks that everyone is so desperate to discover. Time heals all wounds, but in this instant I felt that nothing could make up the amount of time needed to mend what was left of me.


I climbed aboard the plane and smiled politely at the stewardess, shuffling past the family of five trying desperately to get their little ones situated.

The Day In The Life Of Megan

So, unfortunately I've not much inspiration when it comes to writing you a tale of desperation and poetry. I do however have the events of my day, and that is what blogging is all about now isn't it?

I did not have to work today so I took this prime opportunity to shop =]
We currently have the entire store on clearance so OF COURSE I was going to take a gander at all the lovely things abercrombie had to offer. Now that I've been working there I'm finding that I can shop there for frequently. I wasn't aware that I could actually fit the clothes in a kids store but apparently it's possible!
Don't worry though... I am still a very weekly visitor of Fitch as well!

After I decided on two very summer tanks I went with my dad to our old traditional Mexican Restaurant : Las Palmas. My dad and I used to go there every Saturday when my mother would work. We would purchase a movie at Best Buy then go home and watch it while eating our tacos and cheese quesadillas.

We still managed to keep this despite not having been there in several months.
We watched the second Underworld movie because I'm determined for him to have seen all of those and the X-Men Movies as well!

Of course, I see Trent everyday so when the movie was finished he and I went to Centennial Park and originally wanted to take pictures but me and my stupid self forgot to put the memory card in the camera... so I had to suffice with my cell phone - which managed to take the beautiful pictures you see <3

I honestly can say I am at my happiest when I am with him.
He is my soul mate.
I can picture him and I with the rest of the world spinning fast around us with it's chaos and confusion, yet we never change. We are in love.


I received the news that Holly might be coming to stay a week here before I go there during the summer. She lives in Virginia and I love bringing her to the city. It misses her...
I can't wait until she can meet Trent and I can't wait until I know that things are truly in place and ready for action in my life.


Thank you for listening.
