See me for who I am,
not who I was
not what I've done,
not where I've been

See me as the man god created me to be
See my heart, not my body
See me for who I am and who I will become
See me for what I will do
not my mistakes in the past

Everyone has left a trail
some clean, some battered with footsteps
but let the trail you leave be beautiful

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still you hear me when I'm calling
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling
And you've told me who I am
I am yours

i would do anything
to have your lips stutter my name
let your words grasp my hand
watch your eyes search for mine.

to wait for you is impossible yet divine
when we exist in places
so far from where we are destined.

we are parallel lines

i would do anything
for us to be a painting instead
i'd color you in hues of unrequited love
and put us on a frame
i'll give it to you and say

'keep it. keep us. keep me'

'why'

'because we are so much more than just parallel lines'
