You Are Amazing

I know I should have been asleep a long time ago, but I just can't sleep
I feel like I'm falling so deep...
I feel the urge to silently weep...
I'm feeling so uneasy right now
I need God or someone somehow
I know I'm as annoying as a mooing cow

Yeah, I know...I know I'll live
Yeah, I know...who really gives
Yeah, I know...I have to give
Yeah, I know...it's late and I know I choose not to care...anymore...
Maybe I'm just like an open door...
No one cares if I'm sore...I need someone to the core...

You are amazing...
You are surprising me over and over again...
You just do your own thing...
You are astonishing - from 1 to 10, you are a ten
For amazingness beyond belief
For amazingness beyond grief
For amazingness beyond relief

Blissful happiness reigns upon my mind
Beautiful madness corrupts the one I can't find...
Which is you and your amazingness
You and I are like the light at the end of the abyss
You are amazing and you should know
That I care for you, although you don't 
You are amazing and you're a good soul
And I do care for you, although you won't
Admit it to yourself...
I'm all by myself...
And you should know...
You should know that I still care for you though...

There's something missing in my life
There's something kissing away the strife
I know that God is near my side 
I know something in me has died
And I cried myself to sleep at night 
For you, alone, have been my might
But, you're long gone...
Who knew you'd move on...
You're amazing from dusk to dawn
But, you're long gone and you knew, deep down, that I loved you a ton 
I just want you as true as the shining sun

Sometimes we take people for granted or don't fully appreciate the ones we love until they walk away. This is such a great piece reflecting the deep regret that goes with lost love. Well done, JWE! Your talent is off-the-chain! Best regards. Pandita
