Excel

Excellence in beauty
I wish I could express
the ecstacy you give me
Hold me up when I fall
you loved me, I could tell

I used to believe
in a life where you never left me
I used to think in hopes and wonders
Dreamed in fairies and princesses
everything perfect and tidy
Not a care in my heart
nothing brought me down
tore me apart

Excellence beyond comprehension
The things I wanted to say
the need to express
the thing thats I held in my heart
from day to day'

Never recieved the chance 
to give my appreciation
my hopes and wonders
You were gone before I realized
Gone before I could speak
Broken upon a force greater than your own
Brought down to a mortal level
Silenced by a more powerful voice

This excellence I recall
even though it is never seen
helps to guide me when I fall
Tries to see beyond the inbetween
