I first heard you giggle
and I couldn't hold my smile
Then I heard you laugh
and I sat down for a while
I watched as you spun and danced around the flowers
and treasured every minute and wished that they were hours

Your eyes speak only truth, your smile wide and free
You melt my heart again every time you look at me
your hugs are so sincere when you grab and hold me tight
and I remember what's important, and everything will be alright

All the seasons of you

You touch my heart like springs new flowers
when you tickle my toes and we play for hours
You light my soul like summer's shine
as you touch your face and reach out for mine
You shake me up like autumn's leaves
with fits of laughter and sighs and heaves
Like a cool winters eve you hold me tight
snuggled into my heart, I kiss you goodnight

Always and forever

We will always be together
I will never let you go
I guess that forever
was a long time ago...

Sometimes love is just a word you say

Tormented Current

I wallow in your tears as your words rip my heart asunder, soul thrown to the winds I drown in the agony of your love.

The times you were here

Happiness was in the days
and times when you were here
The times I held you in my arms
whispering in your ear

The times when words were vacant
and laughter filled the space
The times your love let lose
and my heart did then give chase

Happy were those days
knowing that you were near
though all things must come to end
my heart still holds you dear

A life with you apart from me
is a hollow vacant shell
the words die down
the laughter stops
my own tormented hell

Happy were the days
to be held just one last time
and end this burning pain
to know that you are mine

The earth now drinks my tears
a wash of mournful grays
if only you were here
Happy were those days

Moving on

I've relived my memories so many times
and acted out the anger and blurred the lines
of who I am and who you were and who I never wanted to be
But I can't seem to escape the you in me

and I've been told to let go and I've been told to forgive
but who are you to judge if you never lived
the darkness that was my life
you are just my wife...

But I see it now and I think I understand
to forgive isn't for them it's to make me a better man
because I can't let go if I'm always angry inside
and it's just as well, the past should have died... a long time ago

Just to Myself

I need a moment if you don't mind, you've pushed me far and past the line leave me alone , just go away there is nothing left for us to say
I don't want you back I'll still be here, doing as I was but with hidden tears there was something that you missed my one regret
the hurt from every time that I'll soon forget.
