I know youll probably never see this
Let alone believe this
But even after all these years
Days soaked and stained with tears
Id bet it all on me and you

There are few moments in life
That are worth the kind of strife
That mean so very much
That ever so tenderly touch
The surface of love the way ours did

You just can forge our kind of passion
The fire most loves are lacking
Too bad we let it set us both ablaze
Pity we couldnt sort through the smoky haze
To find one another once again

If one day your reading this somewhere
I cant help but sit and swear
That I will still be ready to fall
Ready to risk it all
Ill always be all in for you

Today I gave you life
And with it so many other things
Of all you will bear witness to
In each new day that the sun brings
Every word I will have said, I hope they reach you
Like every tear you ever shed is meant to teach you
Please dont ever listen to reply
Always to learn and empathize
In this world youll have to fight to keep
Your innocence, your humanity

Today I gave you life
And I do not mean to scare you
But you will find many battles ahead
And its my purpose to prepare you
At times you will see war
Please let it make you cherish peace
Admire bravery
At times you will meet sorrow
Let it humble you
Reveal lifes contrasts
From darkened nights to morning dews

Today I gave you life
In turn so many other things
For some I will apologize ahead of time
But never for the truth real love can bring

Its been a while old friend
Our conversations few and far between
Ive been taking each day slowly
Learning all I can of me
I cannot tell you how I missed you
Youve always been the great escape
But life keeps tossing me lemons
It just keeps filling my plate
I cant seem to free a hand
No time to hold a pen
I realize your empty without me
I just forgot to fill you in
I must admit im learning
I can gather thoughts on my own
I still could never thank you enough
For all the guidance you have shown
When we embrace I have direction
Everything seems to fall in line
I can reach the furthest places
Darkest corners of my mind
Somethings in life belong together
Its a lesson that im learning
And all this time apart
Has left my writers hand yearning
As it caresses your face now
I know im probably moving way to fast
But the past few months have taught me
True joy is ever fleeting
It just doesnt seem to last
So I find myself rushing to embrace you
Writing earnestly
Taking your blank pages
And filling them of me

I wish I never met you
I wish we never spoke
I with that I knew better
Than to provoke
Cause now I can't forget you
And I can only hope
My heart won't surrender
And it'll learn to cope

The damage is done
My hearts the run


And I'm falling
Now I'm drowning
Can't get my head above water

I'm trying to run
I'm trying to hide
My feet they falter
My hearts in overdrive

So please let me know
Let me go
Cause you don't love me
Oh please walk away
Don't say you'll stay
Just cause I'm lonely

Cause I'll let you
My knees are weak
Can't even eat
I'm sick of the of being without you
But here's the thing
I can bring
Myself to not doubt you
And the love you claim to have for me

what am I to do when I can't hide from you or the words that you once told me
Sitting wondering always pondering about the love you once showed me

I know we'll fires burn fast
Ours wasn't eternal
Never meant to last

To say that our love is a rollercoaster would be an understatement
The heavenly high of our highs
The steep hell of our lows
Its a wonder that we made it through the ride
That were still the same people meeting at the other side
Your hand so steady on mine
Through each ****** of our trials
We rose above the errors of most lovers
Gliding gracefully into bliss
Only to become so complacent
We would risk everything we built
Time after time making the same mistakes
Learning and falling for the lure of love all over again
But I think that's why we lasted so long
We walked blindy, lead by love
Relentlessly pushing for our paradise
We could not be stopped
And here we are, hair wild from the winds
Both of us out of breath
Looking up at the mountains we rode together
Stars marking our waxes and wanes
Our journey written in the skies
And as we rest our weary heads
At the end of this incredible rollercoaster of a life
I can sleep, because we lived and loved
Together

Like Aphrodite
Her beauty blinds me
And I shutter at her insecurities
It's an unjust world
If a girl like her
Can look in the mirror and not see
All the beauty on the earth
blushing through her cheeks
She misses the moments
Relentless currents
That stop me in my tracks
Fingers through hair
I can't help but stare
And thank the Lord for where I'm at
Toe to toe chest to chest
With nature at its best
How can she not see
The divinity
That hides behind her smile?

Take me
Bury me
With the dreams I used to believe in
You could call me naive
Cause I couldn't see
An end to this fantasy
I thought this would last
But it's gone in a flash
And I'm left with a broken melody
I wouldn't know where to start
With this broken heart
A new beginning scares me
Cause I know deep down
You won't be around
And I'll be lost in misery
What could I have done
To keep you from
Wanting to live without me?
Why is it so hard?
Sitting on this boulevard
To find a place called home?
It's not warm any more
No welcoming doors
Not a place to lay my head
You used to watch me sleep
Lost in my sheets
And I've found you in hers instead
