I love you my dear
Can't you tell by the things I say?
The way I smile just seeing your face?
You're good for me and I love what you do
And how the best of you highlights the good in me too
Things can't always be sunshine
Sometimes things will feel like rain
But with you, there's an umbrella
And a place to escape the pain.

You're a God-sent blessing to me
With you I am full of ecstasy
Nothing compares to your smile
Or the kisses you give me so freely
You've got me wrapped around your finger
Funny how you think it's the other way around
In reality, I'm just amazed that you're here,
That you love me is enough to erase any frown.

I don't always say and do the best things
And I know I can be frustrating
I know you tire of my games
Demanding you give me what I want
But I worry when things aren't how I plan
Even when I drive you insane
Please remember that you mean the world to me

It scares me when you call me perfection
That's not what I see the mirror reflecting
But when you say you love me
Things that are scary go away
You take the worst parts of me
And you love me anyway.

We're both really young
With a lot we must learn
We will probably make a few stupid turns
But I'd rather hold on than say goodbye
You're the one who never makes me cry.

My heart aches, from time to time,
When I think of all that's been left behind.

How I wish I could go back,
To retrieve the things that I now lack.

Is it just me who feels this way?
I feel there's so much left to say.

At least I have memories, with those I'll never part,
Holding them deeply, deeply within my heart.

Timidly comes the lavender moon,
Who approaches singing a moaning tune,
Begrudgingly greeting a setting sun,
Are you there, pal?
“Yes, but the day is done.”

Darkness rushes into the valley,
Trouble stirs in the cold back alley,
The moon lets out a hazy bellow,
Are you there, pal?
“Yes, but aren’t you an odd fellow.”

The twilight hue turns black as night,
The moon ascends; he’s scared of heights,
Sick to his stomach, he might just lurch,
Are you there, pal?
“Yes, but I don’t fix hurt.”

Trees bear the burden of fresh dropped snow,
The birds and the critters have nowhere to go,
Dismayed by the thought of broken homes,
Are you there, pal?
“Yes, but I’m all alone.”

So many sights and people to see,
But he can’t stop thinking about his *** ‘ole knee,
The moon, desperately, into the void,
Are you there, pal?
“Yes, but I’m just a boy.”

Conversation just to pass the time,
The moon sums up a nursery rhyme,
The boy asks the moon a question, too,
Are you there, pal?
“Yes, but I’m kind of blue.”

Blue or green, he says, it’s all in your head,
You could just as well be yellow or red,
It’s nothing more than a mix of light,
Are you there, pal?
“Yes, but it’s been a long night.”

The boy walks out to the edge of the cliff,
Asks the moon, please, to give him a lift,
He reaches down with a wispy hand,
Are you there, pal?
“Yes, and I understand.”

Was I supposed to Stop because you weren't there?
Was I supposed to Stop walking because you couldn't hold my hand?
Was I supposed to Stop painting because you couldn't be the  first to see my work?
Was I supposed to Stop living because you weren't the first one I saw after a good day?
Was I supposed to Stop loving because I wasn't loving you?
Just Stop, because I can't.

I believed there could be love,
I believed in your existence,
Even when I didn’t know you,
I smiled with you,
Despite knowing I couldn’t be the cause,
I cried for you,
When I found you were never to be mine,
I frowned at your fears,
Trying to keep mine at bay,
I knew I loved you and wished it was enough,
Enough to exist in bliss of ignorance of your choice about me,
But that was all before I dared to reach out for you,
Only to realize it was all a dream,
I was a fool in another world.

When you grow, when you learn to walk, you will stumble, you will fall. The sun, while it may get harsh sometimes, on the brightest day it will bring you a smile. The moon, the ocean and the tides, they dance their dance, and as it rains you will wonder, of how glad you are of your home. You may wake up to look at the empty side of the bed, at your empty hand, you will want some one to fill that space. You won't know why you want them so much, you will want to give them your everything. You will take comfort in knowing some one else is glad of your existence, a glint in their eyes when they see you, you want to hold that light forever. Some may break your heart, but that is okay, you will have your hands to build yourself a safe place. The troubles, they may seem to never go away, but you will sleep, and you will wake up to another day, another beginning. It is not a fight, don't waste your time struggling, just keep moving ahead and you will find you survived the storm and you find your own island, where you are king.

When you grow, when you learn to walk, you will stumble, you will fall, but through these paths you will begin to run, one day, you will fly.

In a land of no land,
Where the word land has no meaning,
The Horizon is the only destination.

Under bulletproof glass
I'll keep our dreams,
When the night is right
They will find our eyes,
In them I'll see you,
I'll see you soon.

I Dreamt a Dream! what can it mean?
And that I was a maiden Queen:
Guarded by an Angel mild;
Witless woe, was neer beguil’d!

And I wept both night and day
And he wip’d my tears away
And I wept both day and night
And hid from him my hearts delight

So he took his wings and fled:
Then the morn blush’d rosy red:
I dried my tears & armd my fears,
With ten thousand shields and spears.

Soon my Angel came again;
I was arm’d, he came in vain:
For the time of youth was fled
And grey hairs were on my head
