How it hurts to say I love you
because I know that we can never be.
Much like how an orchid
will never grow into a tree.
No matter how hard it tries
or how much it lies.
Why can't we just follow our hearts
to the ends of the earth,
where we can be together.

Never let them push you down
for being less than they are.
Never let them judge
for being the person you are.
Never let them plant
ideas of happiness.
Never let them control
who you want to be.

Never let them say
that I have a problem.
Never let them fight
for control of your life

Never let them think I gave in
Never let them think I gave in.

Why do you sit here
and cry for me?
I am gone and nothing
you do will bring me back.
But the truth isn't that simple
My body may be lifeless
but I am still here.
My strength is in the earth
with every step I took.
My life is in the air
with every breath I took.
My mind is on the paper
with every poem  I wrote
But most of all,
look down and you will see
My heart is with yours
with every moment we shared
