The Day I Lost You

As I sit here in the morning dew
I think of all the things we planned to do
I think of how we were going to live
And of all the gifts that you used to give
I think of the wonderful love we shared
And of all the ways you showed you cared
When one day it all seemed to go away
I wasn't sure what to do or what to say
I wish I could take back the day your love died
And all the months when all I did was cried
I know that I might never get over you
Because it's been two years since you said we're through
I know you've moved on and met someone new
Your love has grown for her because I feel it, I know you
She came into your life in a time when you were still mine.
You said that you were in love with me, then you crossed the line
It's all left me with an emptiness inside
A void of shame, I wanted to forget you 
But I couldn't no matter how hard I tried
So I sit here in the morning dew
Thinking of the day when I lost you

10 Things I Hate About You

1. I hate the way you stayed away, and you never even called.
   2. I hate the way you let me vent, without putting up a fight at all.
   3. I hate the way you through up your hands and just walked away.
   4. I hate the way you moved on so quickly and made me feel astray.
   5. I hate the way that it effected me and that I didn't know how to let go.
   6. I hate the way that life seemed to move so fast and that I was still moving so 
slow.
   7. I hate the way you always seem to forgive me no matter what I do.
   8. I hate the way you make me want to be more like you.
   9. I hate the way you reminded me what it felt like to be a kid.
   10. The fact is that I don't hate you and I never really did.

Sad and Gloomy

AS I sit here feeling sad and gloomy
I don't know what to say
I want you to come to me
But it can never be that way

I want to tell you how much I need you
And show you how much I care
I want to tell you so many things
There's so much I want to share

I wish with all my heart you cared
Just the same as I
But I know to make myself believe
Would only be a lie

So I sit here feeling sad and gloomy
Thinking about the past
Wishing I could change  your heart
But I know it would never last

Strength

You don't always have to be strong
I know your weakness
I've known it all along
For the things you see as weak
I think you misunderstand 
As being something wrong
Strength comes in the dark times
From heaven up above
God shines a light down 
Just to show you His love
For it is the dark times 
That He shows us His grace
We fall to our knees 
And thank Him as we seek His face
For He will always be there
Until the very end
This is His promise to us
Just like a best friend.

The Dream

The other night I dreamed I saw you walking in a big green meadow.
You were happier than I ever remember.
Beside you was a man who wore a long white robe.
His face had a loving and gentle smile, his hair solid white and his eyes were 
deep as amber.
He had his arm draped over your shoulder, yet he seemed to make no burden. 
The way you were at ease with him, I thought I saw a tear amongst your laughter.
It was then that you noticed me watching you as you wiped the tear away.
You held out your arms as if waiting for me to walk into them.
When I reached you we embraced each other.
That's when the stranger said, Welcome Home
