I wish you could see how radiant you are.
How much you have to offer the world.
You're the sun.
You give off so much light and hope.
And I know you can't see it
because maybe there aren't any mirrors in outer space.
But everyone around you get's to bask in your brilliance.
And I know that's something really special.

You are far
                                                             ­                                           Far from me

And I want nothing more than to be in your arms and feel your lips on my neck.

But I am here
                                                            ­                                    And you are there

And neither one of us is moving

Hope is like fire;
It is bright and it is brilliant.
It is amazing to behold and it can warm the soul.
But like fire it can burn
and it can destroy
if it is left to reign free.

You said that you would fix all of me,
All my broken pieces and my scattered remains.
You said that you could handle the damage.
That I could never scare you away.
You said that my cuts were beautiful,
But you never saw how deeply they were carved.
You said you could look into my soul and put the light back into it,
But hell, you didn’t know how dark it was in there.
You said, and I listened.
You said, and I believed.
And I listened. And I believed.
