It's girls like her I envy.
The in place hair,
the flawless skin.
The tiny waist,
the long legs.
The easy laugh,
the wealthy family.

But there's one thing I envy most:
she gets you.

I saw your smile from across the patio,
it lit up the night.
I heard your laugh as I talked with friends,
it rang in my ears.
I glanced your way and my heart stopped,
blood ceased to flow.

I didn't know you'd be here.

I long to touch your lips,
I long to hear your voice saying my name.
I long to feel your heart beat in time with mine.

I saw your smile from across the patio,
I saw you smile for her.
I heard your laugh as I talked with friends,
I heard you laugh for her.
I glanced your way and my heart stopped,
I heard your heart stop for her.

I didn't know you'd be here.
I didn't know you'd be here.

This heart is fragile,
bearing a sign 'Handle With Care',
but it has been thrown around,
hammered with wear and tear.

Just when it's patched,
and packaged for shipment,
the box gets dropped,
and the result is torment.

The last delivery scheduled,
not all that too long ago,
the recipient assumed to be a man,
with hopes of becoming beau.

He left the box unopened,
left the package out in the rain,
nothing but a selfish boy,
who created all this pain.

What has he done to this girl,
'Handle With Care' is no longer readable,
she longed for just one kiss,
but thoughts of love are now inconceivable.

His laugh promised happiness,
but the pieces no longer fit together,
her heart stranded out in the storm,
unable to sustain the weather.

With every call he rejects,
she applies more stitching,
hoping one day, one night,
he will realize all that he is missing.

it came on the wind
flow of creativity
words meant just for you

I just have to say,
if things don't work out with her,
give me a call one day.

You know I'd find a way,
no matter where I might be at,
to go to you and there I would stay.

A few more words, if I may,
when the weather rolls in
and our skies become cloudy and grey

Under the covers with you I'd lay,
I wouldn't leave for just one storm,
with you forever I would stay.

I miss my best friend
our long talks about everything,
yet nothing.

I miss my best friend
how it felt when you held my hand,
kissed my lips.

I miss my best friend
the way i loved you and how I meant the world,
everything to you.

I miss my best friend
how safe I felt with you hand in mine,
my heart in yours.

Tonight I found the letters,
the pages you never read.
Tonight I tore out the pages
of words that I never spoke aloud.
Tonight I didn't read those words,
tonight I tore those pages in half
and then in half again.

Two years ago you found my heart,
the heart you never cared for.
Two years ago you tore out my heart
and left it lying on the ground.
Two years ago I gave you that heart,
two years ago you tore that heart in half
and then in half again.
