Hiding My Heart (Worlds Apart)

I went missing.

Disappeared.

Did anyone notice?

I missed you.

Where did July go? 

It vanished with me, or maybe I became invisible in it.

Either way, I am back.

I have soooo much inspiration & stuff to share & talk about. 

I feel tired and uninspired at times.

And I wrote this last night...

I want to catch a break but I'm only breaking down. Breaking apart. Broken. Falling, falling, forever. Falling to pieces. Fading. Invisible. Disappearing. Gone. And no one notices or cares. It's an effortless mess, my SOS, calling out to deaf ears in distress. The girl (me, I) is hopeless. She's open for suggestions and directions. She can barely breathe. Countless questions.  Is she wonderful? Do you wonder about her? Or is it any wonder [her fate]? Full of wonder. Wondering. Waiting. Is it mere coincidence the fact that fate rhymes with wait, or is it something deeper? I'm getting weaker. And you, you, you. You. It ends with you, or more accurately begins with you. Always you. Only you. Perfect you. The one. Will you come slowly or run? She can be found if only you look. Find me. Save me. Embrace me. Press me to you. Hold me. Tighter. Never letting go, or you'd fall too. Strength in two becoming one. Learn me. Feel me. Catch me. Memorize me. Love me. I am yours forever. Irrevocably. Unconditionally. Enduring. Wishing. Hoping. Dreaming. Living. Flying. Breathing. Like stars crashing into each other at the speed of our hearts in a cold, dark light-years-length, infinite galaxy, transforming into one radiant, bright, shining star bursting, glowing, filling the sky, and each other, with warmth, light, and electricity. We are a star. You are my star. Guide me home.

Yeah it's kind of rough and inconsistent and a mess, but it was from the heart. That's what matters right?

Okay August had better be amazing for all of us lovelies. Lets make it so... no matter what. 

 "Entwined. All that we are is defined by each others shipwrecked hearts and I shiver to think what would have been if I wouldn't have seen you in time... would we we pass by? Like parachutes and air balloons or satellites and lonely moons. We'd still be drifting far apart but thank the stars we are entwined. All that you are is mine. Your divine imperfections color the dark, and I shiver to see how fragile you are when the world's such a cruel place to be. Then you cut me free. Lets walk the tightrope together without a safety net and when we fall, and we will fall, lets fall forever... entwined."

-Meredith Grey

 "All anyone needs is someone to step in and let us know we're not alone."

 "The only time I don't feel like a ghost is when you look at me. You see me."

-Owen Hunt

 "Don't forget--no one else sees the world the way you do, so no one else can tell the stories that you have to tell."

-Charles de Lint

 "Some people say home is where you come from. But I think it's a place you need to find, like it's scattered and you pick pieces of it up along the way."

-Katie Kacvinsky

 "That's what love is. It's some power greater than you and me that draws us to one special person."

-Jodi PiCoult

 "You have to take chances in life to get anywhere worthwhile."

-Me

 "Our paths keep crossing

but never quite touch

You're so close I can almost feel you

Yet impossibly out of reach

When will our parallel paths

become only one?"

-Me

 "You don't love someone because they're perfect. You love them in spite of the fact that they're not. Because they are perfect in your eyes."

 "Every now and then something amazing happens and best case scenarios seem possible. And against our better judgment, we start to have hope."

-Meredith Grey

"Sometimes the only way to catch your breath is to lose it completely."

-Tyler Knott Gregson

 Brie & CiCi on the 4th of July!

"You only make a once in a lifetime friend... once in a lifetime!"

-The Little Rascals

Have an amazing day lovelies... always remember that someone is (or will be) lucky to have you.

With love,

Charley Brooke

He Makes My Heart Melt Like A Popsickle on The 4th of July

 This is Tyler Knott Gregson. 

I am pretty sure he is married & I hope he doesn’t mind me putting his picture in this post, but he inspires me beyond measure. He reminds me of a modern day Noah Calhoun with his poetry skills. Go to his AMAZING blog— tylerknott.com and when I say AMAZING, I don’t say that lightly. I mean his writing is absolutely, breathtakingly, awe-inspiring, heart racing, lovely, wonderfully, magnificently, magically, brilliantly, leaves-you-wonder-struck, AMAZING. His Daily Haikus on Love make my day. They are like magic. I find myself having to reblog nearly every word he says because I just want to share it with the entire world—I meant it when I said it’s AMAZING. I must admit I’m jealous of his wife because doesn’t every girl want a guy who can write hopelessly romantic poetry that flows like a river to the ocean?! He makes my heart melt like a popsickle on the 4th of July. I am a big fan. I adore him completely. I hope he doesn’t think I’m this obsessed-creepy-girl because I reblog his posts so often and am writing this about him! It’s just when you find something incredible like his blog, you want to share it with everyone! It touches my life, and I hope it does the same for you :) Thank you Tyler for sharing your gift. You have no idea how much I appreciate it. I know you will all fall in love with his words too! To prove to you how AMAZING they are I’m going to share some of my all time favorites of his Daily Haikus on Love…I guarantee they will give you chills, leave you stunned, & melt your hearts.

“And of all the stars

In all of the nighttime skies

You are the brightest.”

“I don’t want to be

The center of anyone’s

Attention but yours.”

“You’ve stolen my breath

And I could care less if I

 Ever breathe again.”

“I’m only enough

Because you believe I am

I’ll be more for you.”

“How often I wonder if you are thinking of me at the exact moment I am thinking of you.”

“Every word of mine

Belongs only to you, as

I belong to you.”

“I never needed

Your skin to be touching mine

More than this moment.”

“Waking up to you

And falling asleep with you,

What else could I need?”

“I am with you now,

You can shut your eyes knowing

I always will be.”

“We love like rainfall

But when we touch it’s passion

Like a lightning storm.”

“What good are my arms

If I am not holding you?

What good are these hands?”

“In the smallest ways

Life gives us little hints that

We’re made of magic.”

“If your walls come up,

I’ll become the best climber

You have ever seen.”

“I am all the things

You never knew you needed,

I can set you free.”

“Where did you come from

And how did you know the way

Through all this darkness?”

“I am the answer

To all of your heart’s questions.

It’s always been me.”
