my exhausted eyes want rest
my burdened brain calls for a break
my fatigued feet can't take another step
i don't think i can take
this anymore.

but that's when he gently whispers to me
and calls me dear daughter
he tells me that when i'm weary and weak
just come to the living water
and find strength.

i really should be getting to bed
but all these thoughts race through my head,
i really should be getting some rest
but this is the time that i think best...

you feel like you have no worth
yet you have a reason to be on this earth,
you look in the mirror and you are displeased
yet you fail to see that you're a true beauty.

we feel emptiness in our hearts
for those we loved and are no longer a part.
we get excited when someone new comes along
for we sing the melodies to a new song.

you talk about sun and rain and snow
and how none of us would know- (including)
you, that when they awoke today
an accident would end their earthly stay.

we try our hardest and sometimes we fail
but try to get back up and pave a new trail
we all go through seasons of sorrow
but find hope to make it to tomorrow.

you try to fit in and everyone says you're wrong
when all you want is to feel a sense of belong
you feel so lonely and want to give up the fight
when at the end of the tunnel there really is a light.

we travel through each and every day
forgetting we have power with the words we say,
we make wishes upon stars
forgetting how blessed we really are.

we both strive to be the one that's right
we have our own opinions that sometimes clash
but i'd rather say, "sorry, i'm wrong"
than see our friendship crash.

i don't understand why you always see me as
sassy
i won't deny that sometimes you are
right
but most of the time i'm tryin' to be
classy
while you drive me crazy every
night.

you'll never know how my heart melted,
you'll never know the thoughts that raced through my mind at 100 mph,
you'll never know that i long for more than best friends.
i know you were only trying to get my attention,
that's the only reason,
you didn't actually mean anything.
or did you?

you were right there
wanting to stay on schedule
but i couldn't help saying hi to another friend.

i was distracted
and you knew it
so you did the only thing you could.

with both hands
you placed them on each side of my face
and turned my head towards yours.

my heart was racing, melting,
and i was in shock
like a startled deer on the highway.

i don't remember a thing you said
only that with big eyes
i said okay.

today we decided to bake a cake.

it was my idea really,
you said you were the expert,
but i wanted to help.

i poured water and oil
while you cracked eggs,
then i stirred and stirred
until you poured it in the pans.
you placed them in the oven
that i avoided
because it is my greatest
fear.

we waited until they were done
we waited until they cooled
so that we could decorate.

again you took charge,
but i didn't mind
because i could've watched you all day,
taking your time-
so delicate, fragile, gentle.

your handwriting is beautiful
and you wouldn't let me write,
so i chose to respond
with a frosting fight.

we chased each other in circles,
in circles we chased each other.

you grabbed my wrist
(if only you decided
to interlock our fingers,
i wouldn't have minded).

so i grabbed your wrist
and we danced around-
our feet were pound (ing)
frosting hit the ground
we laughed with a joyous sound
and then you found...

the perfect opportunity.
you smeared it in my,
face
nose
hair
clothes,
so i chased you up the stairs
and you tried restraining me,
i chased you down the stairs
and you helped me see,
that we had no time left
for fun,
we had to finish the cake
we begun.

so i grabbed the sprinkles,
you caught the ones that fell;
i handed you the candles,
frantically listening for the door bell.

it came too soon
we had to hurry put everything in random places act like everything was normal
because the cake was a surprise.

later we finished,
you lit the cake,
it was truly beautiful,
what we can make,
when we work together.
