Looking at the past

Nothing ever lasts

People who have come, have gone

And no one ever stays the same

The life you live will one day end

The memories will fade

And all you'll have to remember then

Are the choices that you've made

Looking at the now

The only thing we have

Its hard to keep it here

So quick it turns to then

This moment seems to freeze in time

Its all we have that's real

Hold on to it until its time

For the past to take control

Looking at the whats to come

So hard to dream of what you want

Everything stands in your way

Everyone has words to say

Soon the future will be now

And just as fast

Comes back the past

So take each moment for your last

So not to regret when

Looking at the past...

Each breath in my lungs

...From you...

Each Crease in my smile

...From you...

The twinkle in my eyes

...From you...

All the love in my heart

...For you...

You revived my soul

When I thought it had gone

You made me love you

When I thought I was done

Because of you I feel alive

My soul is free

In your arms to fly

Your sweet winds came through me

They blew right in

They cleared my heart

I'm pure again

From where we've been

From here so much more

I am forever yours...

"Hey mama

How are you?

It's awful early you know

Lookin' good"

Somewhere in the fog

Trying to make it, almost there.

It's dark and I'm frightened

A stranger follows close

I block him out to make it through

"Hey mama"

BOOM

That quick, it's over

Complete control

Taken away

Taken into the blackness

I try not to scream

...Wait, that's not right

Scream~Fight~Win

A small struggle

I clamp my jaw

He screams

One deep breath

I scream

It's over...

..."Hey Mama"...

When you look at me.

I lose control.

When your eyes caress me.

I feel so weak.

When you tell me I'm beautiful.

I believe that you feel it.

When I look at me.

I feel shame.

When my eyes analyze me.

I feel sick.

When you tell me I'm beautiful.

I want to cry.

...Because its not what I see...

Please don't think I'm ungrateful.

I'm only unbelieving.

All my life I've wanted to feel it.

But things get in my way.

Self-Image, the world is an Ad.

For Self-image.

Don't make me feel worse for this.

I only want to be beautiful in my eyes.

The way I am in yours.

...Because it's not what I see...

Its funny.

How two worlds can collide.

How you and I can make it.

Without common ground.

Two lives.

Alike in want and passion.

Stubborn but equally strong.

Independent but willing to change.

I am not willing to compromise.

When it comes to my heart.

I am not willing to give in.

If it means giving up.

I am not willing to lose.

If the loss is you.

Hard times are in the back of our minds.

But they'll fade in time.

I've learned that to regret is to be weak.

To be fully strong, learn from them.

How can we know what we want...

Unless we have had less than we deserve?

How do we know what we deserve

Unless we've found someone who shows you what you're worth?

I know that I deserve nothing less than you.

And in my eyes, there is nothing sweeter.

You were always the one I wanted.

You were always on my mind.

You were always in my heart.

You were never just another boy.

You were never meant to be a toy.

You were never forgotten.

You have forever changed me.

You have forever made me new.

You have forever imprinted your smile in my eyes.

You will always have my love.

You will never lose me.

You will forever hold my heart in the palm of your hand.

You Are...

My greatest weakness.

My biggest mistake was letting you in.

But I wont let you be a regret.

Those eyes melted me inside.

That smile made me weak.

Those moments were real...

Moving on to the next.

Pushing all feelings away.

Clearing the slate, starting a new game.

Everything I wish I could do.

But you were always the best, after all it is your game.

And no one plays it quite like you...

But you know what they say.

3 strikes and you're out.

So while your game is ending.

I'll be playing love the right way...

With my heart...
