Bridge of Time by Missy (Volume 1) by Presented by: SAGE (if you liked this book TXT) 📖

the person you are with has his or her own personal dilemma from the past.  We humans can only understand and be compassionate towards others who comes in our lives carrying a load of baggage but it is not our job to carry it for them and when our very own rights to live a normal life or our own rights of happiness is at risk, we draw the line on either being succumb in our pity towards them, ourselves, our relationship or set forth boundaries in realizing no matter what kind of personal problem the other person has in our relationship, it is NOT ours to carry and therefore; we should be given a consideration and respect if not, we draw the line between being a substitute lover or take part in other person’s poor treatment of creating and recreating their past in our current relationship.


Love and relationships deserve integrity, two people comes together in a new relationship to learn with each other together, to share each other’s lives with one another, “Love and relationship is not to be treated like a lab rat for someone’s delusion of creating and re-creating his or her past in a current relationship, Love and Relationship is a beautiful experience if its integrity is preserved with mutual compassion, understanding and respect.  May you always learn to see the sign of a toxic relationship and a toxic person for it determines your true happiness or lack thereof and please know may not have the choice who your heart will fall in love with, But YOU HAVE THE CHOICE to tell yourself what works for you or not.


HEART'S LITTLE PRAYER (By Missy)

Each time you hold my hands, each time you look at me, each time your smile fill up my days with sunshine, every time your voice makes my heart beat fast, I wish that you hear my heart’s little prayer. May you look at me with complete admiration knowing I too have imperfections and flaws, I may not always be that perfect person to hang out with as some days I will have bad moods and bad moments, my heart’s little prayer is that you understand it’s not because of you. Some days I may not look all dolled up, I may not be so pleasing in your eyes, as I too will have my lazy moments, my heart’s little prayer is that you’ll know it is not because you unmotivated me to take care of my physical look, it’s just that we women do have those days where we just worry more about other things that heels, make up and hair do.


Each time you sit next to me and tell me how much you love me, my heart’s little prayer is that you share compassion when at times I may act or say unloving things and when I do, I pray that you would just lend me an open ear and remind me that you are there not only through good times but bad times as well. When we find ourselves in times of hardship or misunderstanding, perhaps at times we may even seem to fall apart, my heart’s little prayer is that you give me strength and courage and remind me we fight and we argue not because we don’t love each other any longer but it is because we do care that much.


Each time your eyes roams around when I’m with you or you’re with your friends, my heart’s little prayer is that you’ll know someone out here is worthy of you.  At times I may not always be cute and funny or seemingly entertaining to you as I too have things to tend to, work, school, families and other life’s daily worries, my heart’s prayer is that you would smile at me and realize how thinly I spread myself in tending to everything in my life, that my energy might be worn down and I can’t be funny and cute at the moment and that you lit up my day by reminding me how admirable it is to you that I am doing my best as a Woman. 


Each time you tell me how much you love me and how much you care, my heart’s prayer is that you see me not just your lover, not just someone who loves you, but a woman of my own strength, of my own mind and may you always respect for me for the person that I am.  Each time someone new may be pleasing to your eyes, each time someone new catches your attention, she may be prettier than I am, funnier than I am or seemingly cool than I ever was, my heart’s prayer is that you remember how much you mean to me, how much love and effort we both invested in what we have and my heart prays that remembering those moments would suffice to keep you strong from temptations.


And lastly, my heart’s prayer is that you and I and our love for each other will continue to grow while we both grow as a two different individual whose love for each other is strong enough to keep us both together, understanding and respecting both our difference in life.



HEART'S LITTLE SECRET (By Missy)

I lay awake with thoughts of you again. I know it's madness because you haven't had a clue and you'll never know how much you mean to me. I wonder if I ever come across your mind? If I do, do you think of me the way I think of you? Do you imagine me being in your arms, as I would like to wrap mine around on yours. Does my name bring a funny feeling in your chest? Just by hearing your name I find myself in another world, A world where I would give everything just to have a moment with you, to hold you, to touch you, to be with you. A world where I see myself laying next to you, my head on your lap, your fingers brushing my hair, your eyes looking at me with passion, your voice softly whispering my name. Your presence takes me to another world, a world so far away from everything else from everyone else.  A world of our own no one else would ever come to find. Just the two of us, in silence, we’re holding each others hands, our lips touching and our skin next to each other. Ahh and nothing else matters but the moments consumed with passion, with love.. with you and I.  Tonight I wonder where you are, whose arms is holding you, whose fingers are running through your body, whose eyes you’re looking at, whose body is next to you laying comfortably, feeling your warmth skin.. I wonder whose head is lying on your lap and I wonder if that person gives you the same feeling of being taken to another world the way your presence does to me.


Ahh and I never get to tell you all these thoughts I have of you, all the emotions you have brought in me, the feeling I have when I think of you. And I’ll never get to say a word I could not muster the strength or the courage to do so. Afraid that you would mock my feelings, laugh at my emotions, and worse to tell me, I must be living in another world.  This love I have for you become stronger everyday, loving you in silence is the biggest secret of my Heart.  My mind tells me to be brave, to be blunt and to just speak my mind yet my heart says No!  The more I tried to not think of you, the more you come flashing through my head.  The more I chose to stay away, the more I find myself drawn to you. The more I distract myself with others, the more I see you in them. This madness, these strange yet wonderful emotions I have for you drives me madly insane yet in it I find sanity and comfort in them.


Thoughts of you are always calming, always safe, always loving in a way I could never explain, thinking of you, seeing your face, your beautiful smile, the feature of your face.. it always brings an unknown feeling yet so strong, it makes my knees weak, your voice is always enchanting, so soft, so gentle yet somehow brings fear in my heart, fear that I may not be able to contain myself any longer, so I stay away.. I must stay away. Your eyes, if you only knew how I get lost in them, everything about you takes me to another World where I can feel you, where I can touch you, where I can be one with you.  And tonight before I go to bed, I know thoughts of you will stay with me and as I lay myself to sleep thoughts of you will be the pillow I will hold in my arms, visions of you will be the covers that will keep me warm. Tonight, just like every other night I’ll pray for patience, I’ll pray for strength, I’ll pray for guidance that I can keep this feeling a lot longer, that my mind will not over ride the secrets of my heart in fear, my heart’s confession will keep you away.  So goodnight my precious heart’s secret, may you sleep in the arms of the one who loves you far more than I do.


WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT (By Missy)

"In order to understand better how to deal with emotions, one must first identify what kind of emotion it is as it occurs. Mind can be a tricky liaison it can convince the heart into believing it is something else than it actually is, in turn causes confusions that impacts interactions with others or in a relationship per se."


"Guys, NEVER say “You’re so insecure!” to your lady no matter how upsetting the conversation is w/her. When a woman feels insecure it is because she has good reasons to. The words “You’re so insecure!” is invalidating her feeling, it usually doesn’t help. Instead ask why she feels the way she feels & then validate if she is right or wrong about feeling that way. By doing so, you are showing your lady a respect & she’ll learn to appreciate you more."


"At times it makes it difficult for us to trust again because someone from our past tainted our perception of trust. But if we stay closed in for too long, if we keep doubting everyone who comes along because of someone else’s fault, if we don’t give others a chance to either prove us right or prove themselves unworthy like the ones before, we’ll always find ourselves scared of trusting, always doubting. Sometimes finding happiness means taking a chance."


"Insecurities, doubt, mistrust, jealousy are there for a reason. However it puts a dent in a relationship. It creates a wall between 2 people in mutual loving relationship which deters any positive progress they may have to save what's left of the relationship. Always give the other person the benefit of the doubt UNLESS they proved themselves unworthy of that privilege."


"To guys out there with a wild heart & endless roaming eyes, the world will never run out of girls pleasing to your “Eyes” but there is always that one girl out there worthy of taming your lion “Heart” & you may actually miss the chance of finding that out if you keep your “Eyes” roaming around."


"Someone asked “Missy, what will you do if the guy you’re w/tells you, you love him more than he loves you & tells you to wait for him until he sort things out
