Walking through the alley
Dark yet not afraid
I feel the comfort
I want to stay
...

Today I found you
Though you were never lost
Only living your life
...

Time ticks on
never stopping for anyone

I stand still
...

The years have passed
to many it seems
no longer so young and naive
if thats how you could ever describe me
...

The sky and the ocean the mountains and the trees
can never be as wonderful as all our dreams

we are two dreamers trying to make it in a world of craziness and uncertainty
...

Thank you for loving me
when i could not love myself
thank you for being there when there was no one else
you stood beside me even though i pushed you away
...

Driving down the interstate
tears streaming down my face
not sure how life came to this
...

How many days will it take
to get you off my mind

How many nights before I accept our goodbye
...

I try to understand the feelings in my heart
not quite understanding the pain and the fear
only knowing that I need something more
...

Darkness and fear
Holding on to the past
Never wanting to move forward
Making nothing last
...

A little girl
playing a grown up game
never knowing who to trust
always running away
...

Walk away from everything I know
leave the familiar behind
head out on my own
the world is mine
...

I lay here and stare up at the sky
though its just a memory its vivid in my mind
Do the stars still shine as bright as I remember
do they remind you of the love we once shared
...
