We both got our hearts broken,
But while yours was only stitched up,
Mine was a forest that kept getting burned down and replanted, only to get destroyed again.

this is too rough of a time for me
how am I supposed to live without my father
with his words of wisdom, how am I supposed to breathe?

Father, oh Father,
I told you not to leave, but you did.
I mourn with you not here
Father, oh Father,
why did you go and leave?

I bite my tongue when I say this,
I'm in love but I don't quite know how to.
I don't know how to give someone my heart
Do you sit on your hands?
Or do you put them around his body?
Do you kiss him?
Or do you continue wearing red lipstick?

But before I jump to conclusion, I should include the fact that He might never look at me that way.
Now, in conclusion, I might love him for awhile

I finally have something good but it keeps slipping out my fingers.
If that were to happen, I would be so lost.
I WOULD BE SEARCHING DAY UNTO NIGHT FOR SOMEONE THAT REMINDED ME OF YOU.
Which would be so ******* hard, because nobody is like you.
You were my light in a dark room, WHEN I HAD BEEN IN DARKNESS FOR COUNTLESS DAYS.
I can't let this happen, because even THINKING about it begins to break my heart.
PEOPLE HAVE COME AND GONE BUT NONE ARE QUITE LIKE YOU.
I see you in my sleep, I don't know what that means but I really want you next to me.
I REALLY WANT YOUR HEART BEATING NEXT TO MINE TO SYMBOLIZE THAT MY HEART BEATS FOR YOU.
I have no idea if you think about me that often but I wish for you to know that you are ALWAYS ON MY MIND AND IN EVERY LETTER I WRITE.
I'm sorry for coming off angry, but these things are important to me.
Don't go.
I NEED YOU
NOT JUST SOMEONE
I NEED YOU
If there were ever someone else, my mind would wander off to find you instead.
YOU ARE THE WAVE IN MY OCEAN THAT GIVES ME LIFE.
YOU ARE THE ONE THAT HELPS ME TO BREATHE.
YOU MADE ME SMILE WHEN I DIDN'T QUITE REMEMBER WHAT THAT WAS LIKE.
YOU'VE MADE ME FEEL THINGS THAT I'VE NEVER FELT BEFORE.

You have to let go of the negative influences in your life before you wish things positive.
You have to wash away the dirt before you wish to be clean.
You have to let go of the last chapter in order to make a new one.
You have to rub your eyes in order to see clearly.
You have to have rain before you see a rainbow.
You have to breathe in order to live.
You have to love yourself before you can love someone else.

I used to look up at the sky and watch the birds go by.
I gave them names, Dave, Bucky, Zoey, and I.
I used to look up happiness in the dictionary.
The definition didn't please me.
So I decided happiness is Dave, Bucky, Zoey, and I.
Because the happiest I'd ever been,
was watching God's creation at work.
