The Angel Who Never Knew

She was an angel But she didn't know Life was hers for the choosing But she chose to let go Her whole life before her But she didn't know I saw her fall from heaven The day she let go She fell into My broken arms All of my charm Only caused her harm I cried the day She went away I close my eyes See her angelic face She didn't know She could save What does it matter She went away And I hold her name holy As the ghost she now is My only wish Is she knew how to live Life is so fragile In the arms of an infant Possibiltiies endless Endlessly infinite I remember how she could smile Made shattered dreams Seem worthwhile I could do anything Under her gaze It was me she saved Then ended it all away Why did she leave me To figure it out alone Why was she helpless? Why was she cold? Angel unknown Please return to this presence For reality without you Is never as pleasant The thought of her Awesomer Than you can imagine She kept me going By reviving my dragon Invision a world Of no material All in existence Live in indecision For no one knows What they really want They want a world That's not enough And then she returned To carry in peace Her healing touch reached inside me I know she's there Though I can't see I feel her halo Watching over me I feel diseased Then it went away In the same fashion As she did one day One day abruptly A realization Was my life Really worth saving I'd trade for hers On any plane Because an angels special Until they're gone away

were my angel and now that you know, never forget...I shared my view of the way the world should be...so if you loved me be a good person because the world is lacking just that. You were my hope...I saw you change, then I knew I had...then I realized anyone can have hope with belief.

I wanted to help you to feel like I did something for someone who needed and deserved it. It was selfish I knew trying to make you grow up. I know your ok now because u learned to fly. I love you always Ally don't forget that. You can be anything don't let no one stop you. you healed.

you know I met you as a lost kid with a lot of anger, a rebel with no cause. I tried to set you up on the right track, maybe I did maybe you figured it out on your own, but I wanted you because we both had a lot of issues, and we beat them together. You gave me peace that grew into freedom.

i never meant to leave you like that. i just didnt feel like a had a choice, that one one of the hardest decisions i have ever had to make. i am glad you are okay though and i just wanted to tell you how much you will always be a part of who i am.

If this is the only girl I ever loved...wow so much left unsaid...but you made me so strong dragging me through hell and leaving me to die. only I didn't...and it will never be that bad again...I knew from the moment I saw you we were gonna be on the crazy train together...I just didn't know one day I would be able to get off it again and everything would magically be better...because you were the only one who ever got in...and made sure I don't ever give away THAT key again.

you know, i think about you a lot lately. we shared a crazy and amazing 2 years. i hope you figured out who it is by now. i just think about all the times we spent driving around for hours and just perfectly content because we were with each other. thats all we needed then, you made me such a big part of who i am today. thanks bj, just for everything. the good the bad, everything. you will always be a part of my heart <3 "I will be with her tonight"

Yes I wrote it thinking about one of the most beautiful girls I ever seen...her name is Whitney I told her she was an angel she had power to heal and inspire with her beauty and charm she didn't see in her self...so I wrote this about and for her. She's my friend and a work of art.
