An Old Love Gone and a New Love Come

I'd love you more than any
I had ever loved before
But never seeing you
Scared me even more
Your voice was never heard
Over the thoughts that I had read
Time just wouldn't wait around
For us to move ahead
And with time came another
Someone I never would have pondered
But with this one I've come to love
My heart wanders and looks above
Wondering if this is a mistake
The arrival of this new fate
For my heart yet turns
Mainly because you're who it yearns
Even though this may be true
My love for you would have never grew
But this one who has stolen my heart
Has given my love a new start

My Dedication To You

I watched you die today
Not in person but in my heart
I got the call
And ever since i've sat here cyring
I didn't get to say good-bye
Or I love you
But I know you knew
At least I hope

I was always scared to see you 
Not able to to anything you liked
Or when they told me I couldn't
I pushed you to the limit
I got you to walk once or twice
And then they sent you to rehab
It was my fault you died
I just simply pushed you too hard

The day of the funeral
I was so nervous
I watched the movie of your life
And the last picture is the one I have of you
When I saw it I knew it really happened
Then I put flowers in your hands
Ones you would have loved
And they carried you away in peace

Everyday I've wished you were here
It's been so beautiful these days
I know you'd love them
But you're somewhere better
Where it's always sunny
Never a cloud in sight
Full of peace and serenity
And love for everything
