The past

A long highway of broken dreams

of unkept promises

of woulda coulda shoulda's

The choices were made

and time moved on

leaving me longing

for the road not taken

Thinking back, to the smiling faces

The friends who were there

The friends who cared

Bur pride keeps me moving

On into the night

the choices were made

There's no turning back

What right do I have

To call on them now

After so long apart

All I can do

Is to keep moving on

To hope for the best

And to try and forget

The road not taken

I can see into the shadows of your soul
I can reach into the depths of your heart

I can feel into the darkest corners of your mind
Your pain is real
But my love is true
You feel alone
But you never are
Your scars run deep
But time will pass
And memories will fade
Metal may cut
But words burn deep
Happiness may be fleeting
But words are eternal
As you journey ahead
And words are spoken
Words that cut and tear
At the very heart of your soul
Remember these words
Remember them well
For though I can not sit next to you
And shield you from pain
These words will stand eternal
A beacon in the dark
Hope when all feels lost
They will never be forgot
You are beautiful
You are loved
You are important
And you will NEVER be forgotten

To love unconditionally
Is but a myth of the human soul
It is something that everybody searches for
Although few ever find
The path to unconditional love
Is littered with broken hearts and lost souls
What really is at the end of this path?
Unconditional love,
Or but a vision, a dream, of what
Each individual believes is unconditional love
But what really is the true meaning
Of unconditional love?
To love without any conditions
Without any barriers or walls
With total honesty
And without any hesitations
Loving unconditionally is not the same as loving forever,
By saying that you are going to love without end
Is giving your love a condition to stand by
Loving unconditionally is simply to just love.

To want what shouldn't ever be yours to want
To need something that can never be yours to need
It just isn't fair
Why can't love just survive

Heart broke once
Finally repaired
Just to find out
I've fallen again

I just want to be loved
I just want to be needed
Why does fate have to keep us apart
Does he share what I feel
Does he know how I care

Hardly just met
Barely even friends
Why can't I just stop listening
To this messed up heart of mine

Fallen so hard
He doesn't have a clue
Is it me
Is it him
Or is it the circumstances that surround
Should I wait just for him
Only to find in the end
Another broken heart

Why do we worry so much about what is to come
why can't we be happy
To just live for today

Your brightness shines

a light to my soul

Your brightness brings

a warmth to my heart

You have a path

Set out ahead

a bright beautiful path

full of hope and light

You are special

And oh so full of potential

You'll reach for the stars

You'll shine your light on and

For whatever moments we have

As the world ticks on past

These moments to share

To smile and be friends

I'll cherish them forever

these moments with you

No matter what life puts between us

No matter how far apart it takes us

I'll never forget

And you'll always have a friend with me

Forever loved

Forever remembered

I close my eyes
And see visions of us
Together and happy
Forever in love
You are the one
The one that fairy tales tell of
The one that stays
the one that lasts
Never lonely again
You calm my soul
You make me whole
You are the one
