Kaleidoscope
Eyes wide open, side by side, back to back
Wondering when we slid off track
You’re the crisp night giving me the security I seek
Granting me the stars, dreaming of the words I yearn to speak
I’m the flame that keeps burning throughout the day
Proving you can always conquer come what may
Now we are only embers flickering without emotion
Afraid to be hurt once more holding out our devotion
Craving a frenzied moment, no inhibitions, no controls
Watching, waiting, anticipating, colliding the beauty of our souls
Carisa Adrienne
I loved it, Carisa. Amazing that two people living in the same house, sleeping in the same bed, can become strangers. The first two images illustrates to me the potential duality of a relationship. The last two show the where the wish would take her. Your song selection was perfect for your post. 💗

Thank you, Rob! It is amazing, isn’t it!
I had to put the image of Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling just laughing : ) I think that’s part of the amazing explosion between 2 people.
Laughing is a requirement with me! Ha
Usually it seems it happens fast but it’s actually a slow progression. I’ve always heard to keep a relationship alive.. You must fall in love everyday.. With the same person.
I’m realizing how true that quote is. Thank you for the sweet words. I love the song too! Glad you like it : )

Jeez, I can’t stand Gosling. Maybe it’s because I’m jealous? 😀 I think you’re right, it is a slow progression, or regression. I think that the realization is sudden, though.

Haha!!! Ummmmmm, Ryan Gosling is an amazing actor. That’s all I care about. Nothing else.. Nope, he’s nothing but an actor. I don’t have friends text me sexy pics of him saying… “Girl, you can do anything!” “Girl, I believe in you!”
When I need an extra push! Nope nothing like that. Actually, if you google him it’s hilarious all the Memes he has. He is an amazing specimen… I suppose : )
I agree with you points about growing apart. It’s hard to watch but it’s brutal to feel.

Thank you, Erica! I suppose most people have been there. I think even the relationships that look perfect feel this at one point or another. I remember when I was 18 getting my marriage license and watching the line for divorces. It was twice as long as the marriage license line was. I was naive and I thought…. They never really loved each other if they are getting a divorce. Then… I was in the divorce line a few years later. Hope your vacation was awesome!! : )

That is so true! Things happen, feelings can change or fade. We never know…. although it was love. As I said you pictured that really great!
My vacation was very nice. I posted lots of photos. Beautiful coast lines and water in all shades of blue.
I am almost off to my really big trip, starting on Saturday. I will post about it 🙂 Have a nice evening, Carisa 🙂
