Tricia Laplant Poem
It's not something you can touch,
yet I'm always feeling it everywhere.
It's not something you can see,
and yet my senses are indulged to their max.
It's not something you can smell or taste,
nor hear, nor grow.
It's just there, everywhere.
It's not something you can buy,
or steal, or get given as a gift.
And its not something that can get stolen, broken or lost.
Well maybe lost, but it seems to always find its way back.
It doesn't fall form the sky,
nor get dug from the earth,
or even plucked from a tree.
It's just everywhere.
It's not anything you think it is.
It's just you and me.
I know what it is,
but you don't, you won't,
not until you understand
how much you mean to me.
Not until you can feel it,
see it, taste it, hear it and
smell it all at once.
You have to engulf yourself in it.
Unleash your senses,
and be one with it as I have.
The only way you'll ever understand
is if you were to take my place,
cry like me, laugh like me, play like me,
be me, love me.
Love me.
As I do you, then you will understand.
And I will be you,
run like you, ride like you,
smile like you, kiss like you,
love like you, love you.
Love all of you.
And then perhaps I will
understand better,
why only we have this,
this... connection.
A spiritual, sensual, mental
and physical attraction.
Something that blossoms and develops the senses so-
should be illegal,
or perhaps the law too
understands what it
means to love.
To lose yourself in the moment,
feelings and thoughts, and hopes and dreams,
so massive in their entirety,
so powerful and pure they could condemn God
to the firey pits of hell as it were.
So condemn us,
We are no more God than
anyone else in this unruly world,
but we have got one truly unholy
attribute that would make
even the big man himself envious.
We have us,
I have you,
and you have me.
Always and forever,
just you and me.
You know.

Tricia Laplant Poem
i need you,
like i need air to breathe,
like i need an earth to walk on,
like i need contentment.
i need you,
like a flower needs the sun,
like the trees need the water,
like the seeds need contentment.
i need you,
like a bird needs wind beneath its wings,
like a tick needs blood for sustainance,
like a puppy needs contentment.
i need you,
like the earth needs the atmosphere,
like the shore needs a tide,
like the sky needs contentment.
i need you,
more than a plumber needs a wrench,
more than a train needs coal,
more than a body needs a heart,
more than sick people need visitors,
more than a candle needs a flame,
more than the world needs contentment.
i need you,
because you are my contentment.

Tricia Laplant Poem
I'm staring down a dirt road,
nothing for miles on either side of me.
I notice, I am alone.
Completly alone.
But alas I am not!
There is the wind,
gracefully dancing about keeping me entertained.
And the earth,
strong and sturdy, there to catch me should I fall.
Then there are all the creatures,
big and small, filled with more gossip than the trees,
always there to keep my mind at ease.
How could I forget when they were there all along.
They've always been there helping me,
when ever I need them.
Some people are just blind to those kinds of things I suppose.
To consumed in all their own loneliness to
remember whats just outside the door.
'Cause your never completly alone.

Tricia Laplant Poem
i never knew one person could have so many emotions
inside them at one time.
i never knew how easily hate could fill the empty void
where love once thrived.
i never knew that lying got the world would make a difference.
i never knew that hurting me could help you.
i never knew that lovers make good fighters.
i never knew that the best of friends make the best of enemies.
i never knew that abstinence led to betrayal.
i never knew that distance makes the heart grow fonder.
i never knew that all our friends were just my friends, not yours.
i never knew how pathetic you were.
i never knew i just needed a stronger man.
i never knew i could be so unhappy.
i never knew how many hours it would take to build a tree house.
i never knew how quickly i could want to burn it down.
i never knew how badly i could want to tear my bike to shreds.
i never knew how much i could want my house to fall to pieces because you
helped build it.
i never knew that one man could destroy me so.
i never knew that the one man i loved was a s----y enough of a person to lie to me
about something so serious.
i never knew that the one person who brought out the best in me would
eventually bring out the worst.
i never knew that looking at pictures of happy times would make me so angry.
i never knew that watching my kitten sleep would one day make me cry.
i never knew that you could lie to my face and not feel guilty about tit.
i never knew how much i needed my friends.
i never knew that i could ever dislike 4-wheeler rides.
i never knew that i could hate going into the campers or the building for anything.
i never knew that i could eat a whole thing of ice cream by myself.
i never knew that i would cry myself to sleep several nights over a lie.
i never thought that i wouldn't be able to cars without crying, or ever come to a
point where i actually didn't want to watch the Notebook.
i never knew that i could hate snow patrols "chasing cars" so much that it would
make me cry.
i never knew that we could be apart for so long and yet your still ruining things for
me.
i never knew that you could have the nerve to bug for a second chance.
i'm not saying i regret it , because i don't.
It's just i know now.
And there's no way in h---- i'm going back.

I wasn't looking for it,
it just kind of found me.
I guess I needed it more than I thought.
You were there and it felt so right,
I just wanted to be held tight.
So don't blame me for falling,
and don't wonder why.
It just happened,
I love you.
