Here is a story
About a girl
And a boy
With hearts as big as the sky

Both in love
Fighting for each other
An everyday struggle
Keeping it together

They love to touch
They love to kiss
There aren't any struggles
When they are together

I love You
You love I
We are happy
This, is our story

I will See the World Burn in the Flames of Glory,
Before I Welcome Death into my heart.

I watched your body age and your face crumble
into nothing more then a pair of sad eyes and tired hands.

I am not sure of the light that has kept you alive
but I know that your face hasn't lit up since
we were only two kids throwing stones into the sea.

You feel alone even when you're not
and I've been searching for home long before
we grew old
and cold
and scared
and sad.

I have always left us in your hands
and always grew sorry when you
would put it down or give it back.

I see now that you could never hold the weight of anything.
Not even me.

I stand alone through scorching sun and acid tears
Open the floodgates, let it pour.
I'll face the murky onslaught,m
mouth closed, eyes open.
For a second, I saw the bottom, now, it's filled to my knees with water.
Water, it was only water.
It comes and it goes.
It's here, then it's not.


//R.S

Stay, O sweet and do not rise!
The light that shines comes from thine eyes;
The day breaks not: it is my heart,
  Because that you and I must part.
      Stay! or else my joys will die
      And perish in their infancy.

I always hoped my words would reach you
stretched out against space and time
I always wished my thoughts could touch you
deep in your heart and your mind
I always feared that if I'd ever see you
Time would reverse and stand still
I always feared that I'd never see you
Now I know I never will

Well life is a dream on wings that fly by
and leave you catching your breath
And hope is the fuel that you use to get there
as you fly from the east to the west
Desire's the guide that points the way further
love - the stamina that drives
Peace is the feeling you'll have when you get there
And a smile will say it's arrived

I always dreamed that you'd stand beside me
every day for the rest of our lives
I always expected and never suspected
that I could be wrong all the time
I always knew but couldn't admit that
what we had just couldn't survive
But I'm always glad every day that I'm living
that for a while we gave it a try.
