3:30 am, I hear a cry,
My sisters had a bad dream.
I can't help but wonder why.

Yes, it was a nightmare
But not of the dream sort,
This one was reality,
Though I wish it were not.

Another young life taken away,
The sadness fills my heart,
Such a waste of someone's life,
A family torn apart.

4:47 we sit together,
Looking at the light
Of a house that's lost a son, a brother
On this awful night.

The town once more faces tragedy,
But it's strength will never cease,
We'll stick together to get through it all,
Jordan, rest in peace.

crying
at 1:06 am
because the one i love
is not being himself
and acting odd

crying
at 1:07 am
because the one i love
did not say
i hope your dreams
are as beautiful as you

crying
at 1:08 am
because i sometimes fear
that i am not enough
for the one i love

when i grow up
i do not want to live in a big house
i do not want to be rich
i do not want to be famous

when i grow up
i want nothing more
than to be happy
and with the one i love

to love
to love someone
with all your heart
is an extraordinary thing,
to give them everything
and expect nothing
but their love in return.

but to love
to love someone
who does not love you in return

is far more extraordinary.

each night
i go to bed alone
but talking to you
makes me feel less lonely

and when i get sleepy
and you say goodnight
i put the phone down
and i am overcome with fear.
