24/F The best of me is yet to come
I held your hand As you said goodbye, and you shed a single tear It wasn't until then That the light bulb lit, And I saw my biggest fear I held you close Praying for strength Just needing you to be near I closed my eyes And sent up a prayer Begging Him to hear Please dont go I begged you so Between every tear Something worked I hope it was for me, But you decided to stay here

Stay
No words can do you justice But here I am to try, I think of you every day I just can’t say goodbye I miss the way you made me feel Like nothing really mattered And every time I think of you My heart gets re-shattered But now you breathe with the wind And your smile fuels the sun You may have left the world behind But your time is never done You shape the clouds for me to see And I look at them and smile It does not stop the pain But it’s better for a while

Our Time Together
You'll probably never read this And I guess it's for the best I'm still picking up the pieces Well, at least the ones that you left My friends all say I'm crazy That I should give up and move on But it's easier said than done When I've wanted you for so long Don't think that I blame you Because really I am at fault I'm shy, and blended in And she stood out to you...

To You
When people look at me I wonder what they say But maybe I am better off Not knowing, in this way They tell us go to school Better yourself this way But how am I gaining When I lose myself each day Walking through the halls Whispers can be heard School can be torture If you are deemed a nerd Bullying free zone That's what the teachers say They don't see it as it happens But we see it every day What if I could just end it One girl asks on the brink As she picks up her razor And sits down on the sink A second and I'll be done Never to hear again The question isn't "Will it happen?" It should just be "When?" So if you see a person Sitting there alone Sit down right beside them Show them that they're known

To the boy with tear stained cheeks...
Running down the court Listening to the screaming of the fans Feeling the beating of my heart As the coach yells out all the plans Standing in the huddle At the end of all the games Looking at the team Who have been there through the fight Walking down the halls With the jerseys shining bright Awaiting the game And another win tonight

Basketball
When the skies rain fire And there's nothing else to lose When the sun stops rising And we live in a world of blues When the stars crash to earth And all thats left is darkness When the moon burns out And we have nothing but the ashes When our world starts to die And we only have each other When the ocean runs dry We can search for something better

When the world starts to die...
My world went tumbling down When you decided to walk away The reason I may never know But I think about it everyday Sometimes I miss the days When we still were together Now they are just a daze But I will dream of them forever

Forever
We're the fire just below the surface And the darkness that shines through the light We're the passion you keep hidden And the wrong that that will never be right. We're stories you don't read at night The things that keep you up in fright We're the alarm ringing in the halls Banging off all the windows and walls. We're the howls you here at night The constant reminder of who you are We're things that you can never escape For we are your creation...

Thoughts...
Let's pretend you love me That your eyes shine just for me Let's pretend we're happy That our love burns bright and free Let's pretend the world Is what we want to see And every time we close our eyes It is only you and me Let's pretend the struggles Are all in our past And we are in the future Where we can never move too fast So let's pretend you love me And I will play along Because baby you might not realize But I have loved you all along...

Let's Pretend
My teardrops fall, just like the rain I need a way, to escape the pain My heartbeat stalls, when I hear your name I start to think, it was all your game You break hearts, it's what you do And now I'm here, just missing you You said goodbye, like a simple end Like I was nothing but a simple friend As he dries my tears, you see the fears You've discovered after the years You don't want me now, more than you did then You only want me, now that I want him...
