American “Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.” / -Dr. Seuss
Lost without words Hurting friends all around I'd take your pain if I could But I can only cause it I'm sorry There seems to be no ending To this hell-streaked path I walk Nothing but lies and anguish Only trouble when I talk I'm sorry for what I've done. I'm sorry for what I've done. I'm sorry for what I can't undo.

The Bottom
As you let me take your hand You looked through me Into where you knew I couldn't lie And you said "okay" And with a chill running down my spine We walked And walked And walked But then it hit me Hard as steel And i stopped right there Not just to catch my breath But to gasp for air Because these good days ....these alright nights .......this lonely winter ...........this endless year Has come to an end And with that I knew She was back.

There and Back Again
Your eyes are like a jungle Beautiful and green I'd find my way out But I don't want to leave Your hair like gold Cut short and free Stays soft as silk Perfection to me Your smiles a star Brighter than our sun It can light up a world No matter where you are I've studied you closely For two years next snow We've been up, we've been down But there's one thing I know That this heart between hands Topped with a crown Will go where I stand With smile or frown Your heart is like love Forgiving and sweet You've been sent from above To be my own special treat

Your hand I miss its warmth Your voice I miss its song Our love I miss its reality Only in dreams are where we live on

When we first met
I can't believe that days have passed me Where I couldn't see, you're my destiny That this is how it's supposed to be You and I blend so perfectly We've spent mornings together Where you brighten my day Which each smile or stutter How I love what you say When you're gone you're with me Always close to my heart 'Cause my thoughts can't help drifting To that perfect piece of art Which is you my darling I'll bring you no harm For I'm not a beast snarling Come be in my arms. If I may confess Not something I should I'll have to address   That I love you, understood? But we're, "just friends" Not just for today 'Cause friends are for forever And forever's far away

If I May Confess
Like the suns bright rays of light Your smile shines It brings life to the hearts Of the many desolate people that roam our small town It's like the beacon of a lighthouse Or the flash of a shooting star Like something magical we don't understand It gives me purpose To wake to your beaming face And slowly melt at your lips embrace To do great things only for the reason To see that smile again If I knew how, I'd write all the right words Sing all the right songs Say all the right things Just to show you how special you are To take a heart so black To the cradle of Nirvana And have a man so cruel Repent for what he's done You're beaming, bright Lovely smile is the cure For the darkness in men And corruption of society But you are so modest So cute, so kind You can't even see That you're the light that guides All the ships safely home For the captains to rest Or the spark that sets off The sky flowers nest What you have is a gift That smile of yours So don't keep it hidden Behind closed doors

Golden
Remember when You were my boat And I was your sea? Together we'd float So delicately. But that was back When we were young Things got off track And no song could be sung To lull you away Or keep you close So your new college ways said "It's time to go" I'm sorry you feel That the distance is great And I'm sorry you think It's already too late But why stop now When we've gone so far? Cause i know we're not perfect But I've wished on the stars That or love will not perish It will carry on strong You're the one that I cherish With you I belong I'm sorry you feel That you must "move on" And I'm sorry you think Though our love was strong That the distance would break it Would tear it apart Just go on and keep it The key to my heart.

Distance
Days go by and I remember your face Your cold hands in mine Even the way your lips taste How we'd cuddle with tea Watching Disney movies But time moves too fast And away we must be So now we retreat To that spot on the hill Where I confessed my love And you smiled so real Where we'd watch the stars And think about Our days to come And how lucky we are To have each other And be so close But our end is near Regardless of those Many excuses I say To make distance mean nothing Or how we'd speak every day But now you must go On your journey alone While behind I must stay And pray for the day That you come back to me With my arms opened wide I'll tell you "I love you" And you'll say with a sigh "Oh my time was not wasted But it's good to be home Take my hand once again I won't leave you alone."

I Miss You
See your smiling face each morning Watch your tired eyes close at night Take your hand at the park in the evening Always hold you tight Your "man" does none of these things Has every girl in his sights Can't even say "I love you"? He could never treat you right "He's just scared" you say "Never been serious before" So i stand here watching him hurt you While you says he's the one you adore But here I've been, all along thinking about how he doesn't belong 'Cause we've been best friends since before we knew Of high school trends or the auroras hue I'll take your hand if you'll have mine Tell me, who's afraid to love? Not I.

Not I
As life goes on we travel down a road Be it one of loose stones or one of paved land They're all the same We get up in the mornings to do what we're told And sleep at night when no more can be done We all dream dreams of the life that we seek But who really tries to strive for that life? "It's too hard." "I could never do that." is all we've learned to say But no, if your heart's strong and your dreams true Then yes, you can dream, and you will succeed. We are one people, one being, living among each other We all know happiness, pain, and sorrow And we all know love. That was our dream, love And for a time we had it But, as they say, nothing lasts forever Just like our love And just like our life. Our world is like alchemy With life as our mortar and love as our pestle You can bring your precious things together in life But, all the same, when love is brought in Everything in life will be broken apart. You see these roads that we ride Take the same path We go We live We love Then we lose But no matter how ludicrous your dream may be We always keep on keeping on Because, when life gives you lemons Don't pucker and curse. Say "thanks for the chance, I'll use this one well" Because I know **** well that I want my dream But are you positive that you feel the same?
