As my soul turns to ashes, I wonder if I’ll be able to move past this.
It seems the planets in my world are colliding.
And all I can do is keep hiding.
If I could change anything I’d still want to be by your side.
But there’s no more hope and I know that you’ll never be mine.

now that you've left
i need to know
how many times
did you look me in the eyes
and wished they were her's
and not mine

You make me laugh
        when I want to cry
You make me live
        when I want to die
You make me smile
        when I want to frown
You turned my life
        upside down
Because you are deep
        inside my heart
And I knew it from
        very start.

Your love. . .
warms me like my
         favorite morning
         coffee
Your love. . .
comforts me like the
         August heat at
         our Lake home
Your love. . .
melts me from my
         head to my toes
Your love. . .
means everything to
         me and I will
         never let it go.

True love only comes
once in a lifetime yet
         it lasts an eternity
         and will withstand
         the test of time,
         forever waiting
         until its love is
         returned.

well i can’t say much
except that i miss your touch
or the feeling of being in love
over thinking of what once was

a dream
of a bizarre reality
where only i can see
what i begged meant to be

and yet life , passed me by
as i let out a silent cry
reminiscing over yesterday
oh , how the time just flies
