Thinking of that one person
Every morning I wake up

Hoping to be with that one person
With every breath
With every heart beat

Wishing I had that one person
In every dream
In every thought

Realizing that I love that one person
Through all the hardships
Through all the mistakes

Thinking of that one person
Every night before I fall asleep

My thoughts run wild on you
They can't be stopped or tamed
I feel their numbers growing
The more I grow in my pain

My mind needs to be free of you
Somehow I will make it so
It will be hard and tough for me
So we will separate for good when i go

Distance and time hasn't changed you  
I assure you that is no lie
Perfection that blooms within your soul
Is the the best thing I will see before I die

Age 9
I will make you proud Dad
You just wait and you will see
I will travel the world Dad
Walk tall and drink coffee for you to see

Age 13
I will make you proud Dad
If you stay here you will see
I will go to your college Dad
Play baseball and football for you to see

Age 16
I can still make you proud Dad
Can you not leave this time for me
I will improve my grades Dad
Date girls and work harder if you don't leave

Age 18
I'm still trying to make you proud Dad
If you won't open your eyes to see
I will take my life Dad
With this knife in my hand you will notice me

We are all a family
You may love some
You may hate some
You may never meet some

We are all skeptics and believers
We are drop outs and over achievers
We are young and old
We are shy and bold

Looking deep within
I know not what I am.
