All The Things I’m Too Stupid Not To Say To You
I waited by the phone a few days ago. Because that’s what I do when you say you’re free for me to come by. I sit and I wait until the message comes up and before I know it I’m getting in my car, driving to your place for one thing and one thing only….

Am I Settling?
When I was growing up I was never someone who envisioned how their life would turn out. Sure, I had plans, like for my career and where I might end up with it. But when it came to love, there was never a clear vision; everything sort of seemed foggy. I always wanted to be…
