I had been wandering for so long
Eventually it became apparent
I would never settle down and grow old
My heart was forever young
I was stuck in a perpetual state of adventure

I had become so used to moving
That sitting too long made me restless
I was on a constant quest
To see what was over the horizon

My thirst for knowledge and experience
Seemed unquenchable

In my times and travels
I have met many
I have seen much
I have broadened my perspective
I have learned to love
And to push hate away

I know that life is short
But it's never too short to explore
To learn more
Of the world and yourself

I sit and wonder
What type of man
You would be today

You were my best friend
And we had taken each other's qualities
I miss you

I remember you
But I have forgotten
The sound of your voice

So long ago
I've lost some of who you were
But I remember

You were stubborn and direct
Before the rest of us
Even knew who we were

You fell in love first
And told me about that
And how it felt

You were my only "blood" brother
Besides family
And that's how it was

We were young and stupid
Together
And it was awesome

I miss you brother
I love you

To all the women
Whose hearts I have broken
I apologize
And I hope you've moved on

It wasn't you
And it wasn't me
The fact is
We just weren't meant to be

I didn't use you
I didn't play you
I just knew
We were both better off
With someone else

I hope whatever experience you had with me
Is something you can walk away from
And be the woman that you're supposed to be

We were travelers on the same path
And were lucky enough
To share a moment together
Nothing about that
Should be frowned upon

This life is short
Moments add up and that matters

I hope you find what it is
That you are looking for
Because it is not me

You are my muse
You are my mirror
You are my heart
You are my dear

You've turned now into forever
And reminded me
To never say never

I once thought
That all my innocence was lost
But I felt it's presence
As our paths crossed

Because of you
I believe that fantasy can come true
I appreciate the countless reasons you give me
For loving you

You are my muse
You are my mirror
You are my heart
You are my dear

Things aren't the same
It's in your eyes I can see
Your kisses are empty
I'd rather you left
Than ignore me

If you have something to say
Don't leave me in silence

What's the point of coming home
Only to be left alone?

This isn't a game I wish to play

Young and free
Feeling like the world is yours
Avoiding advice
Saying, That won't be me!

Your weekend with friends didn't go as planned
Now you've got a baby on the way
And you haven't got a man

Up in the air
Your life got out of hand
No answers in sight
And you haven't got a plan

All your "best" friends
That you hold so dear
Can't make time to help you
They've made that clear

Alone the future brings fright
Not wanting to admit it
Your parents were right

Time passed
As you raised your baby on your own
Doing everything in your ability
To make a home

You made it work
Even when money was tight
Good men came along
But you pushed them away out of spite

You and your child got along just fine
Afraid to let anyone else in
Never letting someone
Hurt you again
Not this time

Being in love
Is like a break in the clouds
And all of a sudden
That single, solitary ray of light
Shines right upon you
