It's been some time since we had our first lunch
I knew we'd be lovers, it was more than a hunch
From the second you walked through the door
My heart skipped a beat, you're who I adore
...

I miss you more than words can say
No longer will I beg you or ask you to stay
Harsh words echo and ring in my ear
Time they say will make my sadness disappear
...

Life is full of choices we make
A delicate balance between give and take
Many defining moments shape the person we become
It has nothing to do with where we come from
...

Lying awake as the dark is fading
Thoughts spinning through the mind keep it racing
Feeling alone like someone lost at sea
Heavy thoughts crashing down on me
...

Life is a roller coaster of lows and highs
My life forever changed the day I looked into your eyes
I remember clearly our very first date
It was then I saw in you, my one and only soul mate
...

I lay on my bed and stare at the ceiling
Wishing I could shake this awful feeling
My mind races with the thoughts in my head
Does anyone care if I'm alive or I'm dead?
...

Why does life have to be so unfair?
It's a curse to us who do nothing but care
Why does it have to be so tough?
Our short times together are never enough
...

You're in my every thought and prayer
All things with you I want to share
In dark times and in light
Everything with you just seems right
...

Nothing on earth can change how I feel
My love for you, I know this to be real
We've been tried, tested and brought to our knees
How often I have screamed out and cried out my pleas
...

Thinking of all the things we've shared
Knowing how deeply each of us has cared
Our time spent together made me glad
To see you happy and not so sad
...

A beautiful song the sound of love
Lifting your heart like the wings of a dove
Thinking of dreams of long ago
In a place where lovers hearts dare to go
...

Nothing compares to what we have; the love we share inside
It's like an eternal flame; never does it die
A treasure that is cherished; a gift from God above
This treasure I share with you; is called unconditional love
...

Every time I have to drive away
Tears stream from my eyes, I want to stay
I have to trust things will work out
It's hard to not be filled with doubt
...

Does strength come from our greatest fears?
Building us up from our tears?
One magical star in the evening sky
Holds its own where angels fly
...

Sometimes you can't see what's staring you in the face
It becomes more clear when you retreat to another place
Don't be scared of something you've always wanted
Denying your heart will only leave you feeling haunted
...

Uncertainties of life can turn you upside down
Leave you feeling empty and run down
Not sure of where our journey will lead as we embark
Before we can embrace the light; we encompass the dark
...

My heart and soul aches; I don't know what to do?
I wonder at times; how much must we go through?
When you're feeling down or weak
Just know things won't always seem this bleak
...

Seems like yesterday but it was seven years ago
I met my precious angel; who still sets my heart aglow
I trust in you completely with all of my heart
It's been open to you from the very start
...

Things are complicated; it seems so long since happiness abound
It's not lost for good; your happiness can still be found
If I could take away your burdens; I'd make them my own
So you could have peace and not feel so alone
...

There's a hidden place I keep unseen
A place that holds the pieces of my shattered dreams
The sorrow it holds has no end in sight
Struggling to make it through one more night
...
