Dear Mother...


Dear Father...


Dear Husband...

Dear Friend...

These are the letters I'll never send.


My love, this is how I feel...
Why...?
How could you...?
This is the end...
Letters I'll never send.

Everyone has them
You know you do
The deepest thoughts
Vibrating deep within needing escape
These are letters never sent.

Erased
Ripped
Deleted
Never read again
Never sent.

Dear Mother...
Dear Father...
Dear Husband...
Dear Friend...





I just hit send.

If I could travel through time
Like a melody lost in the wind
I would travel the world
Seeing the sights that most only dream of
I would see it all
But, it'd be nothing
Without you.

If I could travel through time
Like a melody lost in the wind
I would find my way back home...
Back home to you
Back home where my heart resides
Safe in yours.

If I could travel through time
Like a melody lost in the wind
I would set my sights to happiness
And fly to you, love
If I could...I would.

Writing ad lib, thinking of  you
Trying to find the right words
To tell how much I'm missing you
Trying to find what to do
To lessen the pain of missing you.

Is there anything else I can do
But sit here and write?
Is there anything else I can say
Except that simple three word phrase?
Oh, my love, please know it is true
I love you and I miss you.

Counting days, how long has it been?
I'll be by your side and you by mine
Soon, love, soon
I'll see your handsome face, your lovely smile
And you'll see mine, dear
You'll see mine.

Life is short lived
So is our time
But soon, dear, I'll see your eyes
And you'll soon see mine
With all of this in mind
Believe me, darling, when I say
I love you
and
I miss you.

When life gets tough
You have to get tougher.

With every new twist in the road
Comes a new wall built up
A wall trying to shield from the pain.

With every loss life gives
Comes a new smile
Not a real one
But, one to hide behind.

With every new wall built around you
A little piece of you dies
A little piece of you is hidden.

As you hide behind wall after wall
You become lost.

This is the problem.

Lost in yourself.

Hiding behind the smile of pain.

Wall.

After.

Wall.

How can I find myself hiding behind these walls?

Oh darling,
Your love I could not doubt
Gleaming eye and tender touch
Gentle kiss and loving voice
Knowing I am yours
That is what's nice.

Loving someone is grand
But, knowing you love me back
You love me like no one else can
Though miles apart
By your love I am still touched
That is what's grand.

With every word he speaks
Taking my breath away
His embrace wrapping me with warmth
Keeping me safe
Protecting me from harm.

It's his love I've longed for
So long I've wandered searching
Waiting for a love like this
Not only loving
But, having love in return.

Oh darling,
Your love I could not doubt
Gleaming eye and tender touch
Gentle kiss and loving voice

You love me like no one else can

His embrace wrapping me with warmth
Keeping me safe
Protecting me from harm.

It's his love I've longed for
So long I've wandered searching
Waiting for a love like this
Not only loving
But, having love in return.

The days grow long
The nights grow longer
Things get tough but,
When I look at you...

Tears I shed
One after another
Life gets hard
This gets even harder
But, when I look at you...

In bed I cry
Fight after fight
But, when I look at you...
If it wasn't for you...

Fast motion time
Slow motion life
So much to do
So little time
Stress after stress
So much to address
But, when I look at you...

I don't even have to look at you
When I think about you...
It all goes away.
