Losing yourself vs. losing a loved one
My friend let his mom go
I lost a women I called mother
He cared for her for decades
We held her tight as she slipped away
I thought losing a girlfriend or boyfriend was intolerable
My friends pain must be crippling
She taught me to smile
She taught him to be a gentleman
We loved her as a mom
As someone to shelter us
Now we have each other
As the angel looks down upon us
Our mom she will always be

I write like my soul has forgotten you
I let myself believe I'm moving on
You believe I love you still baby
You are absolutely right

The walls I constructed from all the pain
Those walls you came in and tore them down
They fell so easily for you
Though I had tried for years by myself

Our souls when they met sparked a fire within
It turned my darkest days
Into a blinding light
I couldn't see what was coming
Nor did you till it was upon us

Now we sit here thinking of each other
Both dealing with it in our own way
I learned to heal by myself
While you take a road I used to take

I won't tell you to choose the right path
You wouldn't listen anyway
No matter how long it takes baby
I'll be waiting for you at the end
When you get there I'll embrace you
Letting you know you're never alone
I love you and always will

My love, you need to grow up
It's time for you to become an adult
I won't take the blame anymore
To shield you from the pain

It's time to own up to your own faults
To become the lady you want to be
Though I can't take all the blame
I will own up to my part

I tried to keep your innocence
Tried to save you the pain
I can't handle playing this game
It hurts to bad to lie

Saturday was my last day
I care for you so much my darling
You're pushing me away for good
I'm breaking inside and screaming
My wounds you can not see

It's time to grow up sweetheart
It's time to stop the games

My best friend is a lady
She is taken by another
She trust me with all her secrets
I seek only a friend
He thinks I'm there to ruin them
I want nothing of the sorts
If he could trust me
She would be happy
She won't let me go
I can't let her go
She is my best friend

It's strange to be happy
When sadness has been my life
overcoming the pain I experienced
Has made me a stronger man
The love I have to give  
Will create another storm
Let the skies turn Black and gray
Let the pain boil up
I will always withstand the adversity
Bring on the best you have

The sweet remembrance
The touch of your delicate skin
The scent of you
For just a moment I thought you were here
I reached over for you as I woke up
It all seemed so real
As fast as you surrounded me it all disappeared
Once again alone in the darkness
Only the memories to hold
I slip into another dream

Love the life you live
Forget about the rest
The past can be forgotten
The future isn't set
