"And I know one day it'll end."

He was shocked that her faith was lost so soon.
But it was the truth.
There was no way of her keeping him.
He wasn't hers.
So she held each moment for dear life.
He spoke so many dreams into her  she almost believed it was forever.
She had no doubt that when the dark came to the light, they'd still be there.
Then it came. All those dreams became broken.
Their forever was cut short.
She knew one day it would end.
He doesn’t want an opinion
just a meek minion

He buys her pretty things
along as his tune she sings

She’s an empty-headed doll
in his money she likes to loll

She has a lot of intention
to many to mention

He’s the cat that got the cream
she nurtures her own dream

There both actors on a stage
both reading their own page

He thinks she’s a gorgeous fool
she’s biding her time playing it cool

On herself no onus
his demise her bonus

So she smiles on his arm
as he displays her charms

She knows he’s looking for a new one
too old he won’t for long find her fun

Her escape is paid for
won’t need him no more

She kisses him goodnight
then leaves for her flight

i look at you
and i feel at home
and when i look at you
my heart feels love and
warmth after all of
the cold it's been suffocating in

if only it were easier to travel
over oceans to be with you
to physically love you with the love
that's built up and overflowed into
the emptiness in me that consists of you
oh how i feel so empty
but so full of love when
it comes to you
and how meeting you would be an experience
one could die for because
i love you that much and i
wholeheartedly believe not many
can say that these days

I left because you wanted me gone.

I love you!

I came back for you.

but...

I left my thoughts in Immokale.

I left my drive in Lehigh.

My inspiration is scattered over the waters of Ft. Myers beach.

My plans wait in South beach.

Orlando, Tampa bay, and Fort Lauderdale still whisper my name.

It's time to go back to the sunshine state.
