Have you ever loved someone in a way they didn’t love you?
Or cried over someone who didn’t cry over you too?
Ever put blind faith in them, then they didn’t follow through?
Or squeezed and hugged them so hard, but they didn’t squeeze you too?
Ever told someone the entire truth?
Then find out they weren’t honest with you?

Ever been broken, and sad, and lost in a daze?
Then hear people tell you it’s just a phase?
Have you ever kissed someone all over their face?
Or thought about them every day?
Then have you ever tried to explain the feelings you’re having, the love and the pain?
I could say I've wasted my time with you,
but it wouldn't be true
because I don't regret our conversations or the times we sat in silence.
I don't regret all of nights I lay in my room alone, crying over you
Or the days I felt like drowning
I only regret not telling you I loved you enough

Its been six years since I met you at that football game in high school
and I still look at you with the same
admiration and longing.
And I still find myself swimming in your gorgeous green eyes
Even after all we've been through,
I still think of you in the best of ways.

Loving you when I was sixteen was like loving the ocean
I fell in love with your mystery and your impeccable beauty
And the deeper I got, the harder it was to breathe

Looking in the mirror the bones and flesh are not the ones I remember. These bones are not my own.

They are dressed in silk and Demise. While the ones I'm looking for are pretty and pink with flowers not too far away.  

What have I become? I don't even remember my name.

Every word I say is foreign to my mouth.
I pray  the real me comes out. Maybe she is hiding. In a place that is more beautiful then she has ever seen.
Or maybe she is trapped.
Or maybe she no longer exists.
I don't think of you anymore...

Except for when I close my eyes,
you fill my dreams..

Before I close my eyes to dream,
it's only you for my heart screams.

No more than that I do assure,
I've finally rid you of my core.

Except my day,
here and there,
your smell,
a sound,
a touch,
I swear.

It's easier,
aside all I've said,
you're no longer here,
not in my head.

Besides the morning when I wake,
my heart it quakes,  
please take this ache.

I know I lied..

I cannot deny..

You're locked forever inside my mind.
Goodbye.
Love me like you do
Love me in the dark
I will love you too
Even when you lack

Love me everyday
Love me every way
And when my heart strains
Love me once again

Love me in the fire
Love me in the air
Love me till you tire
That's the day I fear

Let that day never come
If anything should come let me be the one
Till all life is through
Love me like you do
Look
How far you have come
And how far you have to go
The flowing water in the dawns mist
Whispers memories of our youthful bliss

Carried away, downstream, endlessly
Into the open arms of a restless sea

This shall be the place we forever rest
Intertwined and woven like the cape weavers nest

Never again to know solidarity
Cradling the life of tomorrow is our apogee
