When we were younger
The memories made
Were all crystal clear,
Now there covered in haze;
And I want them back.

When we were younger
The queens we portrayed
Were made of such stature
They were covered in praise.
And I want them back.

When we were younger
The trees we did climb
Were like solid fortresses
Carried threw time.
They stood taller then mountains,
Covered in vines,
Carved with initials,
Yours and mine.
And I want it back.

When we were younger
The tales we did weave
Of monsters and hero’s;
Of the whispering breeze.
The world told us its secrets,
Of its passage through time.
Of the world we will create,
With the help of a rhyme.
And I want it back.

You were like a strange addiction
So different in so many ways.
We were simply polar opposites,
Forcing ourselves to go the same way.
I’m not sure what pulled us together
That fought the ever-present force,
Of two people who were just so different
That weren’t meant to follow the same course.

Finally the bonds have broke,
And the poles can once more align,
Because our love was just so unnatural,
That we left natural disasters behind.
We were the cause of all the tsunamis
All the tornados and the storms,
We were the cause for the great El Niño,
The hurricanes and more.

And though I loved you like a blooming flower
That can't be withered by a storm,
Even those petals will all fall off
And we will once again be no more.

After six months I hope to have moved on.
After six months I hope your name won’t sound the same.
After six months I hope that the days we were together feel like a year ago.
After 6 months I hope I don’t feel the pain.

All the time we spent together,
Was more then I could have hoped,
But I am tired of re-living our moments,
And of every last time we spoke.
I am tired of hating people,
Maybe myself a little too.
I dream of a day so different,
Where we are both so different too.

I hope and I beg for the change to occur
Within each fleeting second,
But then I realize something in me
That holds onto each last minute.

So here I’ll start
To say goodbye,
To let you go for real.
So here is when I let you go
Like a new born baby seal.
To survive this world with out me
Without my intrusions on your life,
And please move on without me
Because I wont be holding back this time.

I loved your smiling face
I loved your charming eyes
I loved how we’d laugh so hard that we would both start to cry,
And I didn’t want to lose you
So I didn’t let it show
But it festered deep inside me
Until I had to know
And I cried the whole night knowing,
I had to let you go.

Now as I lay me down to bed
Let my mind be free of dread
Let it flout away tonight
Towards a morning clear and bright.
Let this fear subside from me
As I slowly breathe.

Now as I lay me down to bed
Let me be free of my dread
Till the morning does arrive
Let it come before I shy.

I fear the night engulfing me
Not allowing me to breath
Taking all my gasping breaths
Tell the last one I have left.

Now as they lay me down to sleep
In this coffin I shall keep.

Dear friend I would run with you
I would fight with you
I would laugh with you
Die with you
Jump with you.
Dear friend will you stay with me?
Will you cry with me?
Hide with me?
Be blind with me?
Dear friend I am so afraid.
Your leaving, all of you
Where are you going?
Can I come to?
No, I must stay,
I didn’t want to come anyways…
Dear friend I am leaving to,
Disappearing for a year or two
Don’t fear dear friend I am here
Standing by your side no matter what you do.
Dear friend I never lost you
You never lost me too
Dear friends we will be together again
No matter where we go
I will be there with you Dear friend.

I know it’s a strong word,
And it shouldn’t be said
But it’s always the first one
To pop to my head.
When I see her words
Written
A    C    R    O    S    S
Your page,
I can’t help but get a little enraged.

She’s a priss,
She’s princess
She’s all show
And NO bound.
She think’s she’s got it all
Now that your back in town.

You’re up for grabs,
A perfect new bite,
And I think your trying to protect her from my might.

Well don’t worry
I’ll scurry.
I’ll pretend I don’t see.
Your free like a bird,
Just like me.
