He stands there watching me,
Thinking I can not see him,
But truth be told,
I see him too.

He stands out in a crowd.
As nothing you could ever dream of.
You wouldn't believe his story,
Even if you tried.
So don't even waste your time.

He saves us from the unknown.
He never expects a thank you,
Nor does he stay around to hear one.
Just pass along the story,
Of the mystery man.

He stands in the corner.
Always there.
Always watching.
Waiting for disaster.
And when it comes,
He will be there to save the day.

These feelings are so hard to describe 
for I have never felt this way about anyone before. 
It took us so long to finally be where we are now,
but yet we still have far to go.
Our journey had just begun sailing
along in this world of choices. 
We can take so many paths
with this love we have started. 
You are my sun
in a world of dark. 
Through the twists and turns of life 
we will always be together. 
Now that we are one, 
we shall never part. 
Our love will last for eternity.

Your heart wide open
You let me in
Trusted me and shared your secrets.
You gave me comfort when it was needed
And never turned me away when I was hurting.
I do not know what undid to deserve this treatment
But let me tell you this
I will be there when you need me
Just like you are there for me.
Always and forever
My back will never be turned.
For as long as there are stars in the sky,
Our friendship will also be alive.

As everything is tumbling down,
My life crashing to pieces,
I see a shimmer of light.
But is it really there?
My eyes are playing tricks.
I am alone in this darkness.
So why am I getting my hopes up?
I dream of what could have been.
I dream of what was.
I wish I could have that.
I'm tired of this darkness,
I'm tired if falling.
Maybe the light is there,
Maybe I can hope.
But what is the point in dreaming,
When I know I will just be let down again.

Looking up at the stars with you,
I can't help but to feel safe.
Your arms wrapped around me,
Me head laying on your chest.
I can be myself with you
And that is the safest feeling of all.
But then I wake up.
And I realize it was a dream
You are in love with her
And you will never be mine.
Why I keep my hopes up I will never know.

I toss and turn
As the demons of nightmares
Keep me wide awake
My eyes burn to close,
To rest
But yet i am afraid if the reality
Behind closed lids.
Dreams of darkness and evil
That never rest.
They haunt me every night,
Creeping and scaring,
Keeping me wide awake,
Afraid to hit the stage of real magic
Of evil powers and ghosts of the pash.
I stay alive in this world
So not to go to the one
In which I belong.

I realized I am still in love with you today.
I spotted you with her,
and it rips me apart to think that she took my spot.
I thought you said you loved me,
I guess that was a lie.
I only spoke the truth and I thought you meant what you said,
and it kills me that you could lie to me.
Together forever.
I know those words were uttered.
Now I know that forever is not what it seems.
How could you destroy me like this?
Did you not feel anything at all?
My heart is ripped to shreds and you are the one that has done this to me.
I wish I could forget the past,
but to love you at all is better than not at all.
I miss you.
