Sometimes events in your life aren’t meant to happen when you want them to. You can’t shove a puzzle piece where it doesn’t belong or else the puzzle as a whole won’t come out looking right. Our lives are puzzles in a similar way: in our relationships, jobs, hobbies, whatever-if the piece doesn’t fit quite right, it isn’t meant to go there.  Trust that moving some pieces of your life around will fix the overall outcome of the greater picture.

trust the big picture: the universe knows where everything’s meant to go. // a.s.m

I’ll Still Think of You When I Smell Cigarette Smoke

I’m sinking into the air again.
I reach out to grab your hand
but all I get is smoke. 

You aren’t anywhere to be found.
I’m getting used to turning around
and not seeing you there. 

You said you’d always be there for me. 
I found it easy to believe– 
it’s what I needed to hear. 

You made that promise long ago.
It’s my fault, I should have known
you don’t keep them so well.

And I know life swept you off your feet,
took you places you’d never dreamed.
I just thought you’d take me, too. 

So I’ve learned at the end of the day
everybody goes their own way.
I guess I should let go.
