Standing here with my arms around you
Giving you a fake smile
Knowing that I can’t have you
...

I still love him
I still want him
Wishing he was mine
Knowing he will never be
...

As I cry tonight, you are there for me.
I know I will always have a shoulder to cry on.
I know that you will be there for me.
You help me see the light while I’m in the depths of despair.
...

I’m grateful that I have a friend like you.

Someone I can turn to
When I need comfort
...

My brothers are amazing
They might not be my true brothers
But, they are always there for me
My brothers adopted me
...

I wish you were here with me.

I want somebody to hold me.
...

Feeling like I’m all alone in this world
Like there is no one who has been where I have been
Knowing that’s a lie
...

I was blind
But now I see
I was blinded by your love for me
...

Oh, how I missed your voice
It was so great to hear it again
I still miss you
You are still mine
...

I’m hiding behind the mask
The mask of happiness
The mask of joy
When all else is falling apart
...

This is where I want to be

Standing in the coldness of winter
...

How can he be so sweet?

Yet be addicted to nicotine?
...

I am frightened

You told me things tonight
...

I want to see you again.
Each day without you kills me.
I want to be near you.
I want to hold you in my arms and keep you there forever.
...

I think about you often.
I just want you for me.
I want to feel your strong arms holding me.
I feel safe when I’m with you.
...

The way you talk to me,
Sends chills up my spine.
I thought you were mad.
You said that you could never be mad at me.
...

It is so hard to go day to day without you.
I miss you so much.
I wait by my cell every day for your call,
I never miss it.
...

Why do I feel invisible
When I’m in a crowd?
Why do I feel like
I don’t exist?
...

Why does my family
Have no life?
Everything is consumed
With gymnastics.
...

As I sit here waiting for you,
I ponder in anticipation.

I wonder if you remembered my birthday.
