I stare at the sunset...
I see that haze of orange, red and yellow...
I see your figure outlined...
I see your curly hair...
I hear your laugh...
I hear your voice...
I see you walking toward me...
You disappear...
Mirages never last long...
You only see what you want...

My Sunflower

Too many people have asked questions about you...
The most important question they asked is "Why do I care?"...
I tell them because I see the good in you...
They always tell me I'm stupid or dumb for waiting for you...
I know that your love is worth the pain...
God this is so hard to write but I need to get this out...
I've deleted so many lines and words...
All I see is you and I...
In time that may change but at this moment that's all I see...
I have been sleepless...
I have been tired...
I have cried...
I have wanted your love since I first met you...
I see this beautiful woman that stands before me...
I see how fragile she is...
I see she has battle scars from previous wars...
She is a warrior...
She deserves a purple heart...

Walk by Faith

Life at times may be hard but push through it...
Life will throw many obstacles at you...
Life will spit in your face and laugh at you...
Life will call you a coward and watch you suffer...
Faith is what I rely on...
Faith is the key to success...
Faith will overcome any obstacle that comes in the way...
Faith will clean you up and smile at you...
Faith will call you brave and let you know that you belong here...
Life will give up on you before you even try...
Faith will never give up on you even in desperate times...

There are storms in my head that you used to calm down...
You were the eye of the storm...
Everything about you was so calm and beautiful...

Back and Forth

What do you do when you lose someone...
You pick yourself up...
You dust off your knees when you fall...
You wipe the tears away...
You suppress the memories...
You forget their touch...
You forget their voice...
You forget the things they loved doing...
All that stuff I said doesn’t apply...
You’re going to miss them...
You wish you could forget...
You want to move on but can’t...
You cry every night...
You miss their touch...
You miss their voice...
You miss doing the things they loved...
When you miss it’s hard to forget...

Lost

I stare at the stars and wonder...
They are scattered like my thoughts...
Surrounded by darkness...
Yet have light of their own...
A star showed me something I did not see...
You make your own light...
When surrounded by darkness...

Another chance

You move on, forget and forgive...
You forget the pain they caused...
You forgive them for everything...
You forgive yourself for hurting them...
You forget your own damage you caused...
You move on toward the future...
If they decide to follow you, then let them...
Hold their hand and be happy together...
Hold their soul dear...
You damage it again that’s it...
They stepped in your life again...
Don’t take it for granted...
It might be the last time you see them...
Just remember everything falls in place for a reason...
I just hope you choose the right path...
Follow what calls to you...
Look with your heart...
Listen with your mind...
Feel with your soul...
Time is all we have...
