Unread

I don't know where we're going,

but I can tell you where I've been..

and I'd tell you every detail,

but you'd throw me to the wind

you think you want to know,

what made me who I am,

but you have no idea,

where these blurry eyes once ran

I'd give these words to you,

from the bottom of my heart,

but you'd be wondering where I left you

and you'd forget what made you start..

Things are not as easy,

as we all want them to be,

but life is just a challenge,

given to you and me.

If you dig too deep into it,

with anyone but yourself,

you risk loosing everything

a pattern that never fails

I've seen the way the tides roll in,

I've watched a plane take flight,

I've witnessed the birth of brand new life,

I've seen a grown man cry

I've been through towns I couldn't pronounce,

I've learned a lesson or two,

I've given up hope on a lasting love,

but I'll never give up on you

I've watched the sun rise from the East

while the moon followed closely

I've watched the planets I cannot fathom

shine brighter then the last one

I've been through the rain that I couldn't foresee

but I've bypassed a storm that sure would've killed me

and I've survived a few falls I shouldn't have had

while making a few choices that made a few people mad

I've flown over oceans, for hours on end,

I've deleted a few answers, when I should've hit send

I've answered a few questions that cost a few friends

but I've never lost respect for the powers that lend.

I'm thankful for the things

the greater being lets me see

and I live every day happy to breathe

I'll be there for you, forever and always

we can roam the states bumpy highways

open the sunroof so I can sit and stargaze

I'm sorry its not what you want it to be,

but maybe a friendship is just what you need...
