Hard to come by and hard to keep
Fleeting away as you fall asleep
Always sought for but rarely found
Never feeling safe and sound
Only fills for just a while
Then a frown fades your smile
Like a drug you long for dearly
Never helping you think clearly
Happiness is temporary, it never lasts
Joy is what you seek, let joy come to pass
Joy over happiness

The nerves she gives me
The heart rate she causes
Makes me weak in the knees
And turns in my stomach

She is wonderful
She is beautiful
She is kind
She is everything
She is mine

Why do we search high and low,
Only to find nothing?
Why do we travel far and wide
Only to get lost?
Why do we gift and give
Only to be used and stolen from?
Why do we give our bodies willingly
Only to feel shame right after?
Why do we lie to avoid getting in trouble
Only to be punsished worse?
Why do we long for something new
Only to miss that which was old?
Why do we clean ourselves off
Only to get ***** again?
Why do we do anything
Only to know its all for naught?

Let me ask you this then.

Why does a God search high and low
For someone who isn't looking for Him?
Why does a God travel far and wide
To find someone who is lost
Why does a God gift and give
To those who only ask and take?
Why does a God uncover the faces
Of those who feel the most shame?
Why does a God sit with those who lie
Knowing full well they are lying to His face?
Why does a God grow jealous
When we pursue something new?
Why does a God sacrifice His son
To wash us clean of our sin?

Why?
After all we do...
Why?
Love is the reason why.
He loves you.

Hey darling

Look at me

It's all okay

Don't be afraid

I've got this

I can do this

You can do this

Together we can do this

I've got you

You've got me

God has us both

Let's keep going

Don't give up

Hey, come on
It's all gonna be okay.

Simple.

Love is simple
Love them as you love yourself
Love is simple
Love her as you love yourself
Love is simple
Love yourself?
Love is simple...
Love... myself?
Love... is simple...
Love... me... how?
Love is simple.
Love her? yes!
Love is simple
Love me too...
Love is simple...
Love her and me
Love me to love her more
Love is simple.
Love is simple...

A room without a blanket is cold

A room without a bed is uncomfortable 

A room without clothes is revealing

A room without walls is exposing 

A room without painted walls is flat

A room without a pillow brings a headache

A room without a lamp is dark

A room without windows makes you blind

All these things are terrible my darling

But I would take it all, because a room without you is nothing

— The End —
