Your words
They sit
In a lonely tin
Sad to think
I’ll never
See you again
But life
Moves on
You went away
I’m still
Sometimes sad
You didn’t stay

About to embark
On a journey
A new way of life
I think this beginning
Is just what I need
I have nothing left here
Nothing holding me back
So I will chase my dreams
The sky is the limit
Look out world
Here I come!

Far away
In the depths of slumber
You reach for me
And pull me under
Across the miles
Past the deepest of seas
Nothing could ever
Keep you from me
For even in dreams
I am still there
While the rest of the world
Remains unaware
This is the wonder
Of love at its core
And there will never be another
That I want more

There it was
That first spark
Sputtering to life
Like pixie dust fireflies
Dancing round her head
Her blushing brow
Tattling the truth
Neath the flicker
Of a misty moon

We can love with all we’ve got
And we can give our hearts away
But that doesn’t necessarily mean
That the ones we love will stay
And sometimes there are people
Who just can’t love you back
No matter what we say or do
There’s something that they lack
And maybe it’s because
Some people just can’t see
The importance of a person
Who’d give everything like me
