They say pictures capture a thousand words. But what about a thousand moments?
There's a picture of you and I.
It's my favorite but it only captures a moment. The picture itself is beautiful but how it was taken is what steals my breathe away.
You were trying to make me smile, and I was trying to hide my laughter.
Then you caught me off guard.
Brought me to your arms and held me.
Shaking with laughter you had someone take a picture.
I've never been one for the camera but this wasn't the same.
It wasn't posed, it wasn't framed.
It was real.
Between you and I.
There's no words for this moment out of a thousand.
That takes away my ability to breathe.

I'm curious to know.
How much you wonder
about me.
Because I'm curious to know
You a little bit better too.
These trees hide my secrets
But never keep them.
They are blown away in the wind.
Do you hear them?
If you just listen you can hear them.
I can't hear yours.
But can you hear mine?
Just listen to the breeze,
Between the trees.

Where does the road end?
All these cars traveling
But to where I wonder.
The street lights gleam ever so brightly,
And I can feel the steering wheel in my hands.
Where am I going?
I used to know,
Now I don't.
This road isn't what's racing through my mind.
It's you.
Sitting beside me.
Where you should be.
What happened?
Where'd I go wrong?
I can no longer remember my way home.
I've been driving for so long now.
This road is endless,
And that's all I'm searching for.
The End.

Between a million words,
Twenty-six letters in the Alphabet
There isn't anything that could truly come to comprehend our story.
Where it all begins
Or where it all ends.
How can I never the find the right words to tell you everything.
How come you always say so little but it always seems to be so much more to me.
There's no conflicts but our disagreements on something meaningless.
There's more to us then what it seems.
If only I could tell this story in such a way
That there'd be no words left unsaid.

It's not such a simple thing to explain.

How the sun rises in the most beautiful way everyday,
How the moon never truly leaves the sky after midnight,
How the stars become hidden by the blue sky and clouds everyday.
Even though they're hard to find they're still there.

Or how when walking through a crowd I'm hoping somehow you'll find me.
I know I'm not the most beautiful, and I'm probably not that makes you truly happy.
But give this a shot is all I'm asking.
I'll teach you my ways and you can teach me yours.
Share this piece of yourself with me and I'll do the same.

It's not such a simple thing to explain,
But just let everything drop and realize that no matter what.
I'll always be right here waiting and I hope you don't mind but I'd be happy if you'd do the same.

There's a hole inside me.
I've learned to hide it to the point I can't even tell.
But on nights like these it bothers me.
How tiny I feel on this huge earth.
The pain of reminiscing memories that come back to haunt me.
Left inside thoughts that drown me.
They won't allow me to sleep.
If I were to sleep the nightmares will wake me.
Only if I could have you right here
Next to me.
Or to talk to me in someway.
I don't know how I can explain any of my missing pieces but all I know is.
If you were here the entire puzzle would fade away.
I could rest peacefully in my dreams.
As long as you held me in my sleep.
Then this hole inside me would cease to be.

The tears on her cheeks
From the laughter spilling through her mouth.
At a corny joke her friends made
Would've gained the attention of him from a world away.

The laugh she had made him smile and wish it was to him he was laughing and smiling with.
The joyful tears rolling down her face made her eyes fill with a rainbow of colors,
And a sparkle that no star could ever compare.

If only he could make her realize that he wanted to be the sky that could paint the rainbow in her eyes.
