I can be myself.
With you, that is who I am.
With you, I know where I stand.
I stand so tall that sadness cannot reach me, neither the monsters of the night.
You fill me up with love, the love that feels just right.
Someone listened and sent you to me just in time.
Only for me to find out all along you were meant to be mine.
You are you, and I want nothing more.
To change you would leave me less to adore.
I know how you feel by the look in your eyes.
Your eyes, the light of your love, they hug mine so tight.
Tighter than my hand around yours, or the blackness to the night
Only time will tell if this is meant to be.
Just to be you for you and me for me.

I don't care what you say.
It isn't at all what you think.
"I love him." she said, after that long hard drink.
People can talk and they can chatter, but what really is the matter?
They are longing for love; to be held and to be kissed.
It is the way of life that they have so whole heartedly missed.
"I am happy and that is the path I choose.
There isn't a thing in the world I could lose."
It isn't at all what you think.
So take my drink.
You need it more than you think.

I live in a world that dreams.
I live in a world that fights.
I live in a world that doesn’t always know the meaning of life.
Life that lets you breathe the air of who you came from.
Every leaf falls through the sunlight, hugging the twists and turns to the ground.
The ground, giving you permission to live, only cries and cries that you have more to give.
Give it a reason to say thank you for feeling the tug of your shoes.
Give it a reason to say you’ve got nothing to lose.
Let it go on the way it was meant to be.
It is meant to crumble and fall, feeling open and free.
To grow back to where it prospers and flees.
The meaning of life isn’t meant for a dictionary, but rather an imagination.
One that knows that there is more to see than your idea of proper isolation.

There are better things out there, beyond what you see.
Open your eyes and embrace them with the thought of me.
I'll be here watching you grow, coming alive in your smiles.
Just learn to love, learn to laugh, and think of me every once in a while.
You won't forget what used to be, but rather a new kind of me.
I am the one that helps you be who you are without fear.
Just listen and know that I will always be here.
I'll never leave, or stray away.
I love you millions of miles away, every minute, of everyday.

You can go on forever and ever thinking about your life.
What it has to offer, what your place is.
What does that special someone have to give.
Life had its plan for you since it heard the whisper of your name.
Only waiting for you to grow up to play its game.
A game of your biggest loves, your biggest loss.
To figure out how to get out of the craziness, or choose to embrace it.
Someday the thread might find its way into the needle, it might not.
Just don't forget what you were taught.
Feel it shine on the days when nothing is shining around you.
Just don't think about it forever and ever, or you won't see it pass you by.
We find it eventually, choosing our own crazy flag to fly.

— The End —
