When I feel like
I could have done something
To prevent a now lost friend
From taking himself from this world

If only I had reached out
Maybe, just maybe
He would still be here today
And it wouldn't be eating at me
Knowing I could have done something
As small as sending a message

so minute
is each sway of each blade
of grass,
and yet still so timeless,
despite the hours wasted watching.

& who could forget

a rest
to be had in every shady spot,
serial crimes in the heat of passion,
behind bars of bark and branch,
a prison only to those outside.

& who could forget

to call to mind
and leave a voicemail
to recall over and over
like a tin can telephone
to the past

When i saw The sunshine.
I thought your hair are more shiny

When i saw the ocean
I thought your eyes are more deep

When i saw the moon
I thought your future is more bright

When i saw the earth
I thought your hands are more loving

When i heard the lark singing
I thought your voice is much sweet

When i saw the rainbow
I thought your nails are more colourful

When i saw the day
I thought your heart is more enthusiastic

When i saw the flowers
I thought your feelings are more gentle

When i saw the waterfall
I thought your tears would demean it

When i saw the world's sufferings
I thought your smile can blew it away

But

When u saw me
U thought, i was one of those guys

And  just faded away.
HOPE U WILL REMEMBER SOME1 WHO CARED ABOUT U BUT DIDN'T GAVE A **** ABOUT THAT.

Its better,
To forget,
Everything...

Then,
To remember,
Something,
Everyone else,
Has forgotten...
Wishing we could all forget the pain of the past...

I wish I could go back in time,
To when you were still here;
To when we laughed, and cried, and smiled together;
To when you were still mine.

I wish I could go back to bliss,
To when we were inseparable;
To when our eyes would lock and we would both be lost;
To the feeling of your kiss.

I wish I could go back into the comfort of your love when I remembered how to smile and I remembered how to laugh and I remembered how to control what I was thinking in my head and keep my irrational thoughts and fears from encroaching on my life and blitzing through my heart and soul and keep from rambling to myself about things that shouldn't matter while I'm going off on tangents rambling on and on and on as my instability just grows and grows and I lose what little semblance of control that I had left.

...

But I know that things may never be the same
Because fate just had to push us apart.
And I know that we are sent off separate ways
To explore these blank new maps we've yet to chart.

I know that I am stronger.
I can stand up on my own.
I don't need to waste my time and energy
on an emotional crutch.

I know our time together
will be a wonderful memory
and through my life as I press on forward
I can remember back to you and me.

I hope you can look back in time,
To when you were still here.
And you look back like me on all those blissful times,
To see what we could have been.
