If you ever walked a mile in my shoes
You would understand how much I love you
It actually hurts
There is pain inside
But only
Because you're not really happy
That breaks me
Everything I've ever done
And stood up for
Made me a better man
And helped you to fall into my heart
I am no fool
But I sincerely love you
Your happiness is still my responsibility
I cannot walk away in these shoes
My happiness is your's now  
If you find someone to take your heart
Away from me
Let me know
I would give them up

I want you to be happy

Make it, grow it, feel it
Love it, work it, do it
Say it, mean it, be it
Hold it, caress it, endure it
Question it, solve it, understand it
Nurture it, direct it, protect it
Smile for it, live for it, die for it
Cry for it, blush for it, never deny it

The sleek, black design
Nature has given you
It's something to truly wonder
Black is beautiful
A color as vivid as the rest
A matter of perspective
My favorite I realize
My choice, the best
Hidden in the night
The darkness makes your eyes shine
Like a light
This sets you apart
Not viewed as just a person
But also a work of art

Should the heavens ever allow it, I would touch your hand and our eyes would meet.

If you touched my hand what would you feel?
If our eyes met what would you feel?

Magic.  Everything pure.  Beauty.  There are not words to describe it.
You touch me from miles away and make the world seem large and small.

You silence me in the way that my lungs are incapable to gather air, my heart dances to its own beat and words are a language I must learn again.

There is something especially special about you.  Maybe you are designed for me.  Maybe I am designed for you.

What I know is this.   I design a kiss.
A kiss that consists of me and you would not and could not be described as mere fireworks that would be a crime to represent it as such for it would be much more than that

A total crime.  Everything about you takes me.  Away.  From all my troubles and hurt and pain.  There is something inside of you that heals me

Miles apart but not my heart

That which heals also needs healing at times,
Dark evil beings haunt me and you chase them away without hesitation

That which heals also needs healing at times,
Dark evil beings haunt me and you chase them away without hesitation

I am broken. Beautifully.  You have touched me deep in my heart and other places.  I'm still a kid.  I have wonder in my heart and you poke it.


* You may be broken beautifully yes but my darlin there is gold in your cracks and diamonds have formed in your eyes,
I dont think you realize the hold you hold on me,
It is almost as if the first time we spoke the universe decided we would never part ways creating stars with out names on them.

I want to fix your hurt and heal your bruises,
And make you see there is no need to be sorry for feeling hurt at times

Can we make everything okay? Can you save me from myself?  I am so broken.  I don't want to pass that along o you.  Because I really love you.

*I will hold your heart in mine,
I will keep you safe from all that harms you till my last breath escapes my lips and my heart ticks for the last time,
Cos darlin,
You mean the galaxy to me

I smoke cigarettes
Like I'm in a hurry
I drink alcohol
Until fine lines get blurry
Coffee be there for me in the morning
Get me though the day
And stop this endless yawning
Love watching the sun setting
Better yet
Seeing it rise
Insomnia, letting
Falling in love
Until it hurts
Getting burned
And still reaching for the flame again
Wanting people to be real and not pretend
Writing ferociously
Until my pen runs out of ink
Getting it off my chest
Keeps me from the brink

If my addictions are what kills me
Let it be
At least my experience was spent living
And free

If I sit and think
About all the things that I don't regret
They outweigh the things
That I have done out of selfishness
But they still hold weight
Regret searches you out
Squeezes your heart
Tells you no
Makes you not want to take a chance
Teaches you shame
It is a sad world when you can be broken
By yourself
A couple of true friends
That love you for you
Can sometimes be the difference
Between being lost or found
