Frantic Thoughts

things just arent the same...
with you gone 
its like you were never there
like a ghost...
haunting my mind
haunting my dreams 
its driving me crazy
i sometimes wonder
what it would have been like...
but no...
i dont want to think that
it makes you being gone harder to deal with
every single day is hell
because you left me alone to do this
and i cant...
im not strong without you
it was us...against the world
and you vanished before my eyes
leaving me to fight 
but i cant.
because every single moment of this life is a struggle
you held me up when i was weak
and now im left falling forever in this endless hole of pain...
drowning in my own tears 
wishing you were still here to save me
but youre not...
and im still here.
wondering if you were ever real
or just my minds way of saving me
but you have to have been real
i still feel you beside me 
i still hear your voice...
you have to have been real...

you have to have been real...

were you ever real? 

but where does this leave me. 
stuck here in a trance
trying to make myself believe 
trying to remember what your voice sounded like
trying to remember your smell
trying to remember your laugh
the memories are to vivid. too real.
so thats it then. 
youre just a memory to me.
maybe thats how its meant to be....

Thats How You Know

you know you truely love someone 
when you've lost them
when there is no getting them back
when there is no hope...
you know you truely care about someone
when you know they dont care about you
and even that doesnt stop you
doesnt make you turn back 
you know you cant live without someone
when everyday seems endless 
when you know you dont want to go on
when you want to end it
thats how i know i love you
thats how i know i care
thats how i know i cant live without you...
i know because you arent there....

Small Moments

small moments of pure beauty
the little things that really make you open your eyes
to everything
to the world
small things like laying under the stars
or that feeling you get 
when you are kissed
little moments of perfection
make this life a little easier to deal with
the moments that make you forget everything
and make you get caught up
the smiles, the joy, the happiness,
and the memories waiting to be made
those are the moments i live for
those are the moments that are truly perfect
small things...
dancing to your favorite song
or singing at the top of your lungs
its those small moments in life
that really make you see the bigger picture...

Remembering

did you mean it
when you said you didnt care?
or was it another one of your lies
your beautiful lies
the kind that i always seem 
to fall into
i wish i could say something
to make it right
to make it...normal again
i cant stand looking at you
i cant do it without thinking of what happened
do you think about it?
do you think about me?
i hate thinking about what you did
it breaks my heart everytime
and little by little
its shrinking in size
soon there wont be anything left 
for anyone else
and then ill be in the same place ive been in for months
remembering what happened
and remembering what you did
and remembering everything that we had
and how we both threw it away...

Leaving You

i hate that i had to leave you
we were always so close 
leaving you was the hardest thing ive ever done
because i think i love you
i love the way you make me laugh 
the way you hold me when im scared 
the way you wipe away my tears
i miss you so much it hurts 
i wish i could see your smiling face again
i look at your pictures, 
the ones hanging up on my wall
the ones you drew for me so long ago
i guess its time to say hello to goodbye
as the song goes
goodbye my almost lover
it was good while it lasted
ill always hold you close to my heart

Tears Like Rain

fallen from grace
i sit here alone, hiding myself
its more than just pain
tears fall down 
slowly washing away all the lies
light turns to gray 
as the colors of my life 
bleed to the ground 
im trying to hold myself together 
for you, if nothing else
i pretend to be okay
but when you leave
they start to come back
then the rain comes
and i am forced to watch the colors of my life
being washed away
by the tears falling like rain....

Pj

sometimes i still sit alone by the lake
looking at the moon, the stars, the water
looking at how perfectly they seem to blend together
all the colors seeming to turn into one
its beautiful
the same dark shade of blue as your eyes
its been three years since you left me
and each year it gets harder.
i know that it happened for a reason
but it still hurts 
just like it did the first year
i know that youre somewhere 
watching over me 
and i hope ive made you proud
i think about you each day
but this day gets harder every year
thats why i still sit alone by the lake
talking to you
hoping to hear your voice again
even though i know that wont happen
it would be nice though
to see you one last time
to sit here with you
at the same place where we met
tears stream down my eyes
"i miss you so much it hurts"
and then there is nothing
im alone here just like i have been 
for the past three years
and im mad
because you left me so suddenly 
sad because you were my best friend
time to say goodbye
i sigh and pick myself up off the cold ground,
take one last look at the water, the moon, the stars
and smile, all negative emotions leaving me
because thats when i realize 
you made this beautiful for me.

I Know Its True

theres something about you
that draws me in
is it your smile?
that is the highlight of every day
your voice?
so soft and sweet 
the way you hold me?
always warm and inviting
or is it your eyes?
so kind...captivating...beautiful
no word will ever be good enough
to use when describing you
i couldnt even get close
all i know
is that youre in my life now
bringing joy
with each new day
and i know im so lucky
to hear you say
"i love you"
beause every time
i know its true
and i know 
that no one will ever love you 
the way that i do.

I Wont Regret You

i wont regret the way we started
only the way we ended 
i wont regret the way we laughed 
only the tears that replaced them
i wont regret loving you
only the way it fell apart
i wont regret the times we shared 
only the bad memories that came from those times
there are a million things i wont regret
only when it comes to you

What If I Had Stayed

my best friend
someone who had always been there
you stood by me
and let me hide when i was scared
you knew my thoughts
you knew my heart
you would stand up for me
and i respected you from the start
but somewhere along that line
you stepped down
you changed your mind
and for the first time, i lost hope in you
you said you regret meeting me
and that might have hurt the most
maybe more than you leaving me...
now i walk through the hallway
with my head held high
dreading each time you pass me
each time you look me in the eye
i will go on
soon your memory will fade
and you'll be left with the question 
"what if i had stayed?"
