Some poetry. I'm not even sure I should share these... so be careful.

Contradictory Personality

Imperfections
Imperfections, flaws, things to destroy
Memories to forget
Actions to regret
Things to say and do
Resisting
Holding back
For fear
Of judgment
Thoughts not to be thought
Wrongs not to be done
Roads not to be walked
Words that should not be spoken
Uncleanliness
All over me
I only see
What's wrong with me
And then I see
Too far right
Arrogance may overtake
To cause a fall
And then back again
To the wrong
Again and again.
God forgives me
When I've asked.
God forgave me.
When I let Him in.
I don't forgive myself
That easily.
I don't hold back.
All the time.
When I should,
I say,
What I shouldn't.
Or don't say anything
At all.

Undeserved

Sometimes I can't stand
The words you say
To me
Because they're just too sweet
And to untrue
And you don't know
Who you're talking to.
Maybe you do, maybe a little.
From what I've said
And what you've read.
But not the ugly me
I've been and can be
Inside.
You don't want to meet that girl,
I wouldn't want to tell you.
But would you still say
The words you do
If I let you know,
The worst I've been?
It pains me every time
To see those words,
Words on the screen,
The sweet, the kind, the loving,
Gosh, if you only knew
Who I've been.
Is it just the past?
Perhaps.
We all have regrets.
Even God forgave me, justified me.
That amazes me, amazes me incredibly.
Do you ever feel like the worst person on Earth?
Even when you aren't?
Does it not matter?
It doesn't matter in God's eyes,
When we ask for His forgiveness.
But Dear Lord, You are too amazing.
Far, incredible,
Grace, Mercy, Justice, Love.
How the Lord does that for me, and all who accept Him
Is so incredible to me.
Beyond my comprehension, His love, capacity to forgive.
And I know it's undeserved.
Yet it is His mercy.
Undeserving I am of His grace.
And I feel that way sometimes,
Even to the other loving people of His creation.
Undeserved is every word,
Or so it feels sometimes.

Every Word

Happiness, joy, love
I write.
Smiling faces,
No pain, no comments of the negative sort.
Finding every kind word to say to me.
So much joy I feel from you.
A gift you are to me,
A person who encourages me,
He's got a purpose for everything
And everyone.
And the people who touch my life.
You will not soon be forgotten
I will not let you go,
I won't walk away,
I promise.
If I break it,
Then give me your worst.
Because you don't deserve that,
You deserve much better,
Some days, you deserve better than me.
Touch the sky,
Hear His voice soon, please.
We have a reason that we're here
And the way we are.
And for why we've met
And spoken,
And become this close, this way,
For love is more, always more, than what we can describe.
Beyond impossible boundaries, endless.
The word is not
Empty.
So, let us use it full.
Let us speak it true.
We're young, with futures that may grow apart
Tears gather in my eyes at the thought,
But if this is temporary, let us use love full.
We won't grow apart.
In our hearts.
Not soon forgotten,
Will you be,
When you're so near to me,
Yet so far.
The miles,
Don't matter
To me.
Nothing
Will come
Between us if it's true,
What we say, and what we do,
For each other.
It's too true.
You mean so much to me,
So, so much.
So let us stay close tonight
Even so far away,
It doesn't matter.
Nothing comes between us.
Being realistic doesn't apply,
When I realize
The words you say to me,
So sincere, so genuine.
I am still in awe.
Stay close, even so far,
We won't ever mean "goodbye"
On this earth, for real
Because it won't a be a "good" bye without you,
And we won't forget.
Left a mark, on my heart, forever, through your words.
So sweet, so kind, so loving.
You amaze me.

Aly. :) You come down on yourself too much. Alright, I may not know who you've been, or what you've done. But it doesn't matter to me. You are you. The sweet, caring, intellegent, talented, and if I may add beautiful girl that I fell in love with.

Also, I recall a time when I said that love was seeing through the mask that people put on, and seeing somebody for who they are, and loving them for it. Just one of many levels. But, if I do sa so myself, I can see through your mask pretty well.

Aly, if you didn't deserve those words I wouldn't have said them. I can, and have been a terrible person. I feel that I don't deserve your kind words, or your love. But fact is, is that you do say them, because you feel them. You are an extrodinary girl Aly.

I love you Aly. I don't deserve you at all. And if you walk away, I'll miss you, so much, but I could never give you my worst. And as for god, I'm sorry, I'm stubborn, my viewson god will always differ. I can't be a devout follower. *sigh* The thought of us drifting apart terrifies me. I don't want to lose you. I will always speak love true Aly. I promise. Distance doesn't matter to me either. As long as you are Aly, I will be your Nathaniel. You mean so so much to me. And whenever we say goodbye, the line "Parting is such sweet sorrow." runs through my mind. Anyways. I love you. I might have mentioned that. :)

You really don't know how amazing you are, Nathaniel. I never get tired of what you say, but I just... yeah, I guess I'm too hard on myself sometimes.

There are no words to respond to what you say to me. I mean, you are... You are an incredible person. And when I say what I do to you, I mean it. How loving and sweet and wonderful you are. I usually see through your mask. And you see me better than I can see myself sometimes.

I hardly ever feel like I deserve the words you say to me, but YOU feel them, YOU say them, too. And that makes you extraordinary, too, Nathaniel. You can be way too good for me sometimes.

And you know, what you've done wrong before, doesn't matter to me either. You are just too wonderful. And you are the caring, sweet, loving, brilliant, talented, handsome, boy that I fell in love with.

And... it's okay if you view God differently. Just know He's there for you, too. No one knows the future but Him, though. You don't need to be completely devout.

And I can't stand the thought of us drifting apart either. It makes me so... just sad. I really do love you, Nathaniel. And you never let me forget that you do, too. And it still amazes me. You are an amazing guy.

Thank you. Thank you so much for your kind, loving, sweet, incredible, words once again. I love you too. <3
