I've got the keys to my heart
It's mine again
My thoughts, my actions, my decisions
I'm in control again
The lines in the sand have been traced
And I can see the mistakes for what they are
Mistakes
The birds chirp away happily
Singing the ancient lullaby with a frantic calm
And I see the song for what it is
The same as yesterday's
The world didn't stop because you hurt me
The wheels continued to turn
I continued to live even though my will was almost gone
But I refuse to wreck my ship
I choose to hoist my flags
I choose to let my sail down
I choose to live and love myself
The way I deserve to be loved
Not to get back at you
Oh no
But to get back to me
What had blinded me is now the lens through which I see
Because your opinions are opinions
Just not of me
The rivers are empty
I'll fill them no more
But I promise myself to fly
Like my feet will never again touch the floor

Ladies, guys are not that hard to read. They only pretend to be mysterious when they are having second thoughts about dating you. Here are the signs that would show you that he is interested in having a relationship with you. This article does not in any way tell you that your relationship will be successful but it will just focus on how to know if you should take the step in the first place.
1.
He tells you:
This one is pretty straight forward and is what most ladies
want to happen. If he is bold enough to tell you that he wants to have a
relationship with you or simply that he is interested in taking you out, you
have something special. It is not a conclusive fact however but it points to
the fact that you can take a chance with him. I agree that there are some guys
who tell girls things that they don’t mean but even those guys have to have
some sort of interest in the girl in the first place which leads him to go out
of his way to get her. Generally speaking,
if a guy tells you that he really likes you, you should take it seriously.
2.
He makes out time to be with you:
If he is busy and he always makes out time to call, visit,
chat or send you gifts, you should know that he is very interested in you. The
average guy is focused on his work, family, and friends but he will always give
a special place to the woman in his life. His thoughts would be occupied by
images of you and he would be very eager to see you at any chance he gets. It
is a very important sign. Remember that this is not all men's reaction to
people they feel very strongly about and so some men might not exhibit this
character but if you see this sign then you can be sure he wants you.
3.
When He opens up about his flaws:
If you are not a bosom friend of a guy then he would never
open up his secrets and vulnerabilities to you. If your man is comfortable
telling you all his flaws and vulnerabilities and listens to you talk about
yours as well, then he is really interested in you. Men are proud beings who
are less likely to talk about their fears or failures because they have to show
strength. A guy who is ready to be weak in your presence is completely open to
a relationship with you.
4.
He talks about planning his future and puts you
in his plans:
A man who constantly discusses his plans with you is
definitely fond of you but if he gets to the point where he cannot see his
future plans without you in them, you have yourself a keeper. There’s no point
dating someone who does not have a place for you in his plans or cannot simply
align his plans with yours.
5.
He begins to say “We” instead of “I”:
Have you ever asked a person a question and he replied for
himself and his partner? It would sound something like this, “We couldn’t make
it.” “We don’t like ice-cream.” We’re on a diet.” Ladies, if a guy begins to
say these to others, you might as well just start dating him already because he
is so interested in you that it has altered his speech. He is a potential
Husband material – 100 yards.
6.
If his mother knows you by name:
Seriously, you must mean a whole lot for a guy to introduce
you to his mother. If you speak to his mother for the first time and she says
“Oh, you are the Jane that I’ve heard so much about…”, he is really taking you
seriously. Men hold their mothers in very high esteem and they do not just talk
about any random lady with their mothers. It doesn’t matter how old the man is,
he will always tell his mother about that special person in his life. If she
knows you then you're very special to him.
7.
He gets to know and relates with your family
members:
Most guys stay away from the lady’s family if they are not
really interested in her. It’s not just worth their time and extra
accountability. So if a man decides to get to know your family on a first name
basis and is constantly in communication with them even when you are not aware
of it, he is absolutely interested in having a relationship with you. He is
definitely willing to be accountable to your family about the status of your
relationship at every point in time.
There are a lot of ways you can build this interest if it
doesn’t exist already and there a lot of signs that are not covered in this
article. If there are any ones in particular that you like and feel that they
should be added to future articles, let us know in the comments section below.
We would love to hear from you.

Passion
Thinking about you for the tenth time today
Reminiscing the feel of your hand
When it touches mine
Creating a whirlwind of breathlessness
The breath lost is mine
Thinking about the cadence of your voice
As it rises and falls with every question,
Every whisper that touches these ear of mine
I feel all sorts of emotions
My brain thinks about you all night
Thinking about the first time you told me you loved me
The playful seriousness in your eyes
That moment that left me mesmerized
And I knew you meant it
I knew with all my heart
Thinking about the time you hurt me
With that other girl
You stunned me
I was left speechless and surprised
That those hands that held me could hold another
That those lips that kissed me could kiss another
That those words you told me could be told to another
I told myself why even bother
I could just as easily find another
But here I am
Thinking about you for the tenth time today
Maybe this is my fate
Why even bother
Maybe I'm supposed to love you while you love another
