I am in love with this poem that a dear friend wrote and shared with me. I just wanted to share it with you as well. I hope you enjoy.
.......................................................................................................................................
I’d love to tell you that I dreamt of you last night;
That you spent the night in my arms; I had an arm behind your neck; and my left arm was thrown carelessly across your stomach, where
I spent the night drawing up my promise, using you as my canvas, then
You looked at me and in those eyes you told me everything I wanted to hear
You told me that even if I let you go; you’d still stay
Then,
You turned to face my; even though I’ve seen you a million times I still find it hard to believe that this beauty is here with me, when
I leaned in close and a smile broke across your face; and I forgot everything that I thought was beautiful, because nothing could be more beautiful than this, then
A strand of hair fell across your face; I spent a moment enjoying the simplicity of your in my arms, then
I move my hand and slowly swept your hair back enjoying the feel of your face across the back of my broken knuckles, then
I tucked the strand behind your ear; intentionally letting my fingers play through your hair, running gently through; the coolness of your hair starting at my finger tips, and ending at my hear, then
You pulled me close and put your mouth to mine; and then nothing else matter to me other than you.
But, I can’t sleep.

better to have loved
to have lost
than to never have to love
maybe not
afraid of this pain
which you can never explain
the one that may result
in the end of the process
of getting too close
the pain of getting hurt
when you give your heart up
spilling its contents like an empty cup
but youve got me
up against the wall
i tripped and lost my balance
some how you broke my fall
scared of the truths i see in your eyes
so clear and burning
like this sun in open skies
confused by the intent of certain words
which i can never hope to interrupt
falling from the pages of a burning heart
the fear of letting go, of tearing apart
written up feelings
with a million different meanings
i'm at a lost for words
because you caught me speechless
with how i am unsure
with all the faces we see are featureless
with nothing left to offer
please, beg to differ
but for some reason
you've got me up against the wall
i tripped and lost my balance
somehow you broke my fall
i've fallen from grace
and landed on my face
i cried out this broken heart
when i loved and let go
and think of it everyday
when a lonely thought
teared me apart
because im not afraid of falling
if there was no where to land
i wouldn't be scared at all
im making up excuses to run away
making up fake reasons
to change with the seasons
floating in the sea
lost without a thought
never found it hard
living the way i did
without getting caught
pieces fall together
binding with eachother
what if i gave up this chance
missed out on this promised dance
what if its only a misconception
an illusion of missed signals
better to have love
and to have lost
than to never have loved at all
my window coat with frost
as my breath freezes in the air
as life tumbles down
far from ever being fair
to have loved
to have lost
id rather never love again
but youve got me
up against the wall
i tripped and lost my balance
when you someone broke my fall
compassion in your eyes
hidden feelings aside
cursed emotion banked inside
confusion rides the tide
when the time comes
i'll whisper my goodbyes
with sullen eyes
and heartbroken skies

she's seeing it perfectly
she's being neglected
watch her walk away
your problems being reflected
here it goes again
why cant you see?
Its not about you, and its not about me
once again
she's picking up the pieces
glueing one to another
hate and love
replenish each other
broken and scattered
she pieces the puzzle again
broken hearts and torn up souls
once again
she's picking up the pieces
here it goes again
what can we do to stop it?
It comes like a wave
getting bigger, getting stronger
words that hurt, and words that destroy
your feelings spin around like a meaningless toy
how much farther can this possibly go?
she's picking up the pieces again.

whats there to say?
soon the end of the day, will be upon us
as the driver pulls away
forgotten words bring on pain
whats left as they watch their lives decay ?
heartbroken faces watching tears of sadness soak the ground
beautiful and depressed
life and death
the sweet reminder still left on her breath
whats left for one to say?
words of comfort no longer comply
beautiful and depressed
as the **** slowly breaks
raises her head to the sky,
shes finally able to cry
heartbroken faces watching tears of sadness soak the ground
beautiful and depressed
life and death
the sweet reminder still left on her breath
all the pain locked inside
beautiful and depressed
no one knew the key
no one understood why
she seeks friendship from the sky
heavenly secrets held in the stars
heavy secrets disguised as scars
heartbroken faces watching tears of sadness soak the ground
beautiful and depressed
life and death
the sweet reminder still left on her breath
as traffic screeches to a halt
a terrifying scream breaks through
one of finally letting go
one that shocked all who knew
heartbroken faces watching tears of sadness soak the ground
beautiful and depressed
life and death
the sweet reminder dying on her breath

dont forget
as i hold you tight
dont forget
what i say this night
dont forget
what you are to me
dont forget
all of this was meant to be
dont forget
your my moon and my sun
dont forget
what has just begun
dont forget
how important you are
dont forget
you shine like a star
dont forget
what was meant to be
will surely come to you and me
dont forget
who i am
dont forget
who you are

laying awake at 4:37
lonely and tired
with no reason to sleep
my eyes are heavy and weak
the darkness surronds me
the light from the screen
a thin veil, of the unseen
exhaustion approches
my eyes grow tired
sleep still evades me
with each passing hour
i am earning nocturnal behaviour.

welcome to reality
which i am not part of
im sorry to hear
while your eyes shed tears
you've left the land of dreams
the sun has opened your eyes
i feel left behind
but i know you'll return to me
