you don't know until its gone
what's once said can never be unsung

the time we spent seemed so quick
and I know the way I left wasn't fair

but every time that you came around
I knew I'd just tear you down

please don't act like I didn't care

One day
Alex Baker May 2014
One day is all I ask
I'll show you joy
One day is all I need
I'll show you happiness
One day is all I want
I'll bring light into your world
One day is all I desire
I'll kiss your quivering lips
One day is all I hope
I'll fill your mind with endless questions
One day is all I crave
I'll be the one who's always yours
One day will turn to someday
I'll be that man who waits for you

Her
Alex Baker May 2014
Her
Her eyes they shine
Amber brown and tinge of green
Her hair hung down so fine
Sweet bouncing curls upon her shoulders

Her laugh so sweet and gentle
Never once for me
Her first glance seemed accidental
Never a sight for me

Her lips so lightly parted
The bright white teeth that gleamed
Her voice rang out before I started
"Hey what's your name" Id been asked

My eyes quickly shifted
The question not for me
My friend the one so gifted
And I the shadow in the room

My one sure chance to fly
And forget what was behind
My flaw; too shy
Opportunity had fleeted, and her swept away

— The End —
