Never could ' can't , never would
Put that much value into a stone~
They call them precious stones , gems and metals
With feeling they are as cold and dead as bone~
I'd rather give a lifetime of flowers
And my unconditional true love~
I'd rather always be there for a friend
As expected by my very heart~
I could never see the value in
A rock because its as old as time~
In no way I concider them to be
As valuable a love I know thats mine~
Even for the shortest while
To hold it close to me~
Way more precious than any rock
That could ever be ~
In every way and if ever every day
I"d spend loving her just that much more~
Not a single stone or rock or gem
Could replace a love that I adore~

the last thing I remember about that night
is you saying you'd always love me.
I don't remember anything the next day past the words 'I'm sorry I have to be the one to tell you this'
not even the numbness.
But I know I never want to know that feeling again.
Sometimes, I get so angry that I say I hate you, like you did this to me.
How dare you take away the only girl I've ever loved
but I think I understand now.
you didn't do this to me
it's not your fault that the ******* in this world bash on little girls
it's not your fault that most people don't concider your ex drugging and ****** you "actual ****" because she was a girl.
it's not your fault that your parents were unsupportive in all of your ventures.
I'm sorry I couldn't be there to watch you perform in your plays
I'm sorry I couldn't always be there on your worst days and I'm sorry that I can't believe in god if you're not here.
I love you.
distance couldn't change that
and neither can death

Everything that happens happens for a reason
Our very souls have had this be for reasons
Life is a class in the largest university of life
Beyond our very comrehention to be set free

Two such souls are pre planned to learn of more
Than our minds could ever understand in any way
When lessons need to be learned we cannot alone
And as one they learn together within this life today

We all are given choices  the secret is to help them be
In what our souls concider important to as one learn
And learn we do as souls feel that these two do true
As the candles of life continues as it will to burn

We are not born all knowing as  winds of  life blowing
We often need to go where angels fear to they say
And this after all is a class with lessons to call
And as we pass each and every one come what may

However its ever so respected as two souls are connected
For even moments of learning as well comes fear
And that often is fine as two souls travel in time
But both must agree thus the ridding fear ever dear

A soul at times cannot learn alone of somethings sublime
And needs one as well another within this class of life
Without any detection or any suspection even rejection
Two for reasons meant to learn as protection of strife

But the negative side is one of the two clutching pride
And causing the learning of a lesson so harder still
An important  learning as candles of life are still burning
As two such souls need to agree  to learn  such with will
