The fire is gone but in its place is a pile of embers radiating a passionate heat more intense than the flames that once pertained them.

I tell ya, I tell ya
I must be in love
when I think of those eyes so bright

The voice of an angel
so soft and strong
I hear it when it's late at night

I lay in my bed
think of a song
and envision I'm dancing with you

I tell ya, I tell ya
I must be in love
I just wish that you loved me too.

You know what's fascinating?
Perhaps I'm procrastinating
But I've been here for 26 years
and every day I learn something new
Specifically about myself
How can I not know who I am?
I feel like I do but when I learn something new I reflect on a past no so distant
And I realize there's things I've been missing
Seems strange to think that I haven't met me at least not completely
I don't know if my brain just deceived me
Or if I've changed completely

"It's nice to finally meet you"
~By Ian Spaeth~

It's nice to finally meet, I've heard a lot about you.

I've heard how hard you are on yourself even though you do your best.

I've heard you find yourself ugly even though you look beautiful.

I've heard you think you're dumb even though you certainly aren't.

I've heard that you fear being alone forever even though you have your whole life ahead of you.

It really is nice to meet you, I hear many good things.

I hear you like being helpful even though you say you're useless.

I hear you are passionate even though you call yourself bland.

I hear you have wonderful friends and family but you feel unloved.

I've heard a lot about you.

What I hear and what I see is they were right and you were wrong.

With that said, its nice to finally meet you Ian.
