You
You are the magic
I never knew
I wanted
but always needed

You are the star
that shines
brightest
in the dark

You are the happiness
I’ve grown to
treasure more
every single day

You are my today, tomorrow and forever

The sun is going to shine again
The stars are going to sparkle again
The flowers are going to bloom again

Your joy is going to flow again
Your heart is going to smile again
Your mind is going to be at peace again

Whatever you may be going through now,
you’re going to be fine again.

If I had one wish
It’ll be to go back in time
and tell you all I didn’t have a chance to say

If I had just one minute
I’d make you laugh
and make it totally worth it

If I had super powers
I’d bring you back
and not care if it’s right or wron

I miss you with all my being

This is my confession
as cool as I seem,

I’m still dreaming
chasing stars

I’m still working
not minding the scars

I’m still learning
grooming the best me

I’m still searching
chasing not stopping

I’m still lost
in this universe

I’m still looking
for my happily ever after

I didn’t appreciate the little things before…

the sound of your voice
or how I was always your choice;

being at peace all the time
and knowing I had you full time;

being your handyman
and how I was always on your mind;

all the things about you
I lost not wanting to

Now I’m learning to appreciate everything…

a good morning call
or a notification on my wall;

the cool weather when it rains
and the days the sun is mild;

a shopping discount
and a traffic free journey home;

a smile that lights up my day
or a simple thank you that comes my way

The little things are not so little anymore.

Don’t tell me what sounds nice
Tell me the truth
Don’t tell me you love me
Show me you do
Don’t tell me you want me
Show me you can’t exist without me
Don’t just tickle my ears
Tell me your secrets, wishes and fears
Don’t tell me lies
Trust me with your truth

I miss you

I don’t just miss you,
I need you.

I don’t just need you,
I want you.

I don’t just want you,
I want you back.
