Don't ever fall in love my friend
you'll see it doesn't pay.

Although it causes broken hearts
...

It's not so much the world outside
that make us sigh or smile.

It's more the thoughts within our head
...

I can see your face.
I know your name.
I can hear your voice.
Though it's not the same.
...

I have something I need to confess to you.

I’m an addict with an addiction to a beautiful drug
...

The seasons are changing
and it’s times like these.

That I wish you were here
...

They found her in the shower
with blood all around her

And a note on the counter
...

I swore I’d never fall.

But when I look into your eyes
I see your love for me.
...

We sit here day in and day out
waiting for “the one” to come around
not truly knowing what we’re looking for.
...

As I look in the mirror
I notice my reflection is fading

The pain of this secret
...

There is something like love
between us
Not allowed
unavowed
...

Sometimes I wish I'd never met you
so I wouldn't have to feel this way

Every time I see you
...

There is a girl you know so well,

She begs you with her eyes.
...

I saw her first
in the words
she wrote.
I saw her next
...

God didn’t promise joy without pain......

he didn’t promise sun without rain......
...

I thank you, for all your lovely ways
and for all your love and praise

I thank you, simply for being there
...

...

you whisper in my ear, I'm ready, no fear


I'm lost, your eyes, together we lie
...

Can I have you? ........to hold me tight and never let go.
Can I have you? ....to cheer me up when I’m feeling low.
Can I have you? ....to kiss me softly and hold me close.
Can I have you? ...to be the person that you love the most.
...

I want to be free with you
I don’t care who knows
It doesn’t matter what others think
It doesn’t matter what others say
...

Here I am once again...
and I must face the fact that I know so little of true love.
I thought it meant respect, tenderness, thoughtfulness
and a balance of taking and giving.
...
