You were someone I should never have even known,
But since I have, our friendship has grown...
And now my feelings for you have flown,
And my despair over you leaving is overblown.

There’s nothing I’d rather do
Than sit and speak with you
♥️

the pieces of me
that you kept understanding
became
the pieces of you
that I keep finding

The music that renders me saddest
reminds me of the times I was happiest

You find yourself
when you stop chasing someone else

There's so much that I can't say
that saying anything at all leaves me in dismay

Enjoy the time you have, cause you're not promised any more
And I know that sometimes it can be hard to ignore

But you can never have it all
So just go 'head and have a ball

While you can

live every day as if it is your last
for the now will soon be the past
and you don't want to regret
these days you can't forget
for when it has become "back then"
you won't be able to change them
but in the moment, you know how
and you can change the now

Was that worth all my time?
And then I remember... this could save lives.

Do you even miss me?
Not as far as I can see

It's time to go
but my aching body is saying no
is my own mind friend or foe

Some live a broken fate
that this broken world precipitates
Some live a perfect illusion
their grasp on reality loosened

Nothing bad happens on its own,
history has shown

On paper,
nowhere to go but down

In real life,
nowhere to go but up

I like my real chances better
have somewhere to go over perfection, I'd rather

May the words of the Lord
be the voice of our hearts

not many friends,
but a great family
can't see the end,
but know it's coming gradually
for myself, don't have to fend
cause the ruler of the universe has me
don't have any perfection to spend,
so it's good that there's no fee
sometimes my will tries to bend,
but then I remember where I'll be spending eternity

the typical me
isn't the one you typically see

Exude confidence
and they will perceive experience in you
Keep your head held high
and they will look up to you
Genuinely smile
and they will see beauty in you
Believe in yourself
and they will believe in you, too

You're not faking it, though
You're making it so

I feel hackneyed, overplayed, and unoriginal;
I've become jaded, bored, and cynical.
