When I Look At You

When I look at you, I pray that I don’t lose touch with you When I look at you, I prey upon happiness and I never knew That you mentioned me in your dorm When I look at you, My mind wraps all around you When I look at you, You give me a natural high, But it’s only temporary… When you wake up, I pray that you had the best of dreams When you wake up, I prey upon your energy and Soar like an eagle in the sky He watches over me as years pass me by Our friendship is too good to be true We’re so lucky to have each other… Weep no more, for your name is carved in my heart There shall be no more death… Bitter, worthless clouds spill out remorse – Depart and be gone! I’m waiting to say “greetings” to you I don’t have the strength to fight the battle Endless thoughts spiral in my head Making me feel awfully dead… Many things are left a mystery for a purpose When I look at you, I pray that I don’t forget your name When I look at you, I prey upon your joy and I never knew That you mentioned me in an optimistic way When I look at you, My mind is overflowing with delight When I look at you, You give me a natural high, But it’s only temporary… When you wake up, I pray that you have the best breakfast When you wake up, I try to prey upon your glory, But you swim away like a swan in a sparkling lake I wanna give you good advice… I don’t wanna roll the dice… I don’t wanna be a living sacrifice I wanna throw away all of your pain I’m trying my best to reach the finish line It’s hard to forgive the words you utter It’s hard to forget and forgive yourself For the wrongs you’ve committed My mouth kept running like the sink water And my mind went numb and you seemed to be bothered Pick up the shards of glass and show me some direction I don’t know where to go from here… But, I must keep a positive mindset I’m not attempting to get you upset When I look at you, I feel that I’m invisible You see right through me And I reflect anguish and confusion Have mercy on me and don’t be frightened Disappear, thoughts of sadness Reappear, thoughts of gladness When I look at you, I see…a joyous, gorgeous face and I sense that you’ll have a bright future Just keep shining...with all of your might God is near your side...leave behind all worry Don't you know that you made me taste your glee?

I wish someone would ever have such beautiful thoughts of me... I'd be glad if they would merely scratch this beauty, actually. Congrats.
