I wasn't really hoping,

Was just lying around moping.

Didn't dream of asking,

For any kind of masking.

But out of nowhere you came through,

Bringing a burning love that's true.

 

You gave it all to me,

You made me glad to see.

A smile, a laugh, a grin,

You gave me almost everything.

A reason to wake up and a reason to believe,

All my dreams come true, so please don't leave.

You're my lover, my heart, my beginning and my end...

But most of all, you're my best friend.

 

Out of all you came to me,

Giving hope and love and made me see.

What is life and how to go,

Love I could never hope to know.

You're my life, my joy, my reason to never end,

But once again, you're simply my best friend

Prgress is being made in every aspect and every way,

I can smell the sweetness again in the morn of every day.

Smiles returning from memories long forgotten,

Dreams destroying all that's rotten.

We've been through a lot, you and me...

Months of pain and sometimes abject misery.

Now it seems the mist has started to clear,

Sadness and guilt slowly turned to cheer.

we're safe and can smile at what we've both got,

It seemed so little but is actually a lot.

I'm proud of you and proud that you're proud of me,

So glad to know and to be able to see.

Love is love, and is rather better than fair,

But love is not as sweet as care.

To care is to want the other to be happy,

To love is to want the other to be with me.

I care you dear, you make me smile,

I'm so happy for us after all this while.

 

I only wanted to see what was there,

To see if what we talked about was true.

Was it real or did I dream it?

Could I know if it was coming true?

 

When you smiled and looked up at me,

Did you know how far things would go?

We laughed together and watched the clouds,

If we worried we never let it show.

 

The thoughts I have and affection right now,

Makes me smile and start to hope.

To hold you in my arms once more,

Gave me peace and love on an unknown scope.

 

If you're sad and regret now a bit, I fear

I undersatnd and know you're feeling,

It's too sudden to be true and real

To handle the cards that fate's dealing.

 

Let things settle down once more

And time will lead the way.

Give your love another chance to bloom

And us more strength, I say.

You couldn't make it at all

The signs were written on the wall.

He tried to tell you what was true

You thought he didn't want to listen to you.

You closed your eyes, your ears, your mouth

Then watched as all our dreams sailed south.

You thought you knew it all

Never heard tha anguish call.

You let it go when it needed more

Pushed it out from the shore.

You said you cared but then gave up

Wouldn't sip from hapinesses' cup.

Now it's gone and won't be back

Hope you know, hope you're glad.

I never dreamt I'd live to see him become the man he's supposed to be.

I never thought I'd see the day when all his pain and demons went away.

I always hoped ther would come a time when he'd be proud to be a friend of mine.

I guess now I can finally say I've really lived to see that day.

I'm full of pride to see he become the man he can call his number one

A summer's day or a winter's night,

All the same as a bird in flight.

Dreams come true or delayed again?

White as snow or driving rain.

 

Peace at heart as I look to look,

Floating by as we complete life's book.

Can we tell what's coming next?

If we could, would it be for the best?

 

Nonsense I now, but that's just the point,

Like a child playing in his favourite haunt.

A lost cry heard of a time gone by,

By reach alone we couldn't touch the sky.

 

A quiet evening's willow by the shed,

Slowly asking questions left unsaid.

We can but be what we're destined for,

Yet we keep searching for that bit more.

 

One more time the leaves will rustle,

Unto a heap yet move no muscle.

I thank you all each and everyone,

Thanks to you, there's never no sun.

Hope springs eternal and you know that's true,

If you look deep inside to see the inner you.

Look to yourself and you'll surely find,

What you were seeking within your mind.

When all else fails you'll find what's there,

You won't need to look or gape or even stare.

What you hunt will track you down,

Smiles of peace will replace your frowns.

I promise you you'll see the light,

Nobody ever goes down without a fight.

One more time, please smile for me,

An open heart is life's eternal key.

Don't jump when tings don't go your way,

Why not take the time to stay?

In our lives is more good than bad,

It it's happy then it can't be sad.

Look out the window onto a golden pond,

It's as if we have a magic wand.

What seemed so dark now is so light,

What hurt so much has been put to flight.

Hope in our hearts is all that we need,

Love in our souls will act as our feet.

I'm proud of me and of who I am,

All my life I will just do what I can.

Write it down. Shout it out. It eases the pain  to scream it loud.

Let it out. Don't keep it in. Yell and shout. Let go of everything.

Weep and howl. If it helps at all. Thrash and kick. Jump and fall.

Go real fast. Don't slow down. Give it all. Grimace or frown.

Sprint and run. Howl it through. Don't calm down. You just can't do.

One more time. Don't give up. You can do it. Just never stop.

Slam and kick. Punch and fight. Never slow down. You know that's right.

Yes, you can. You know that's true. No-one can know. Only that's you.

Try dignity time. hold yourself high. Blood curdling screams. Rip through the sky.

 

Love is nice and love is real.
Love is something we all can feel.
Love is us and love is them.
Love is now and love is then.
I am love and love is me.
Love is you and love is we.
To be loved and give love,
Love is all and love's enough.
Love hels all and love gives strength.
Love has no width and has no length.
Love is mine and love is yours.
Love is real and love gives a cause.
Love is all that I can be.
Love is all that's needed by me.

You try and fall and try again,
Means you win in all but name.
To fall and fail are not one and the same,
To fail to fall is a crying shame.

Time is stronger than any one man,
It waits for no-one and gives no plan.
We hope, we want, we have to wait and see,
We can just be all we’re supposed to be.

Twisted and bitter inside? You bet that I am.
Why shouldn’t I be? What kind of man?
Toyed with my dreams, almost broke me in two.
I echoed those words until I saw them through.
I screamed out for help and was spat in my eyes,
Contempt was all that was felt for my cries.

Dignity failed me when passions ran high,
No endless reasoning could explain to me why.
Can they be sure they know what they did?
Can they realize the wounds inflicted?
They truly can’t, can they? They really don’t see.
The pain that they caused, the hurt and misery.

My words are too harsh? Unfair you may feel?
Maybe you’re right. Who cares what’s real

Didn’t he love you deep enough?
Weren’t his kisses enough tender or soft?
Were his tears too much to bear?
Couldn’t you see when he laid his heart bare?

Didn’t he satisfy the needs you craved?
Was there something wrong in the way he behaved?
Was he too weak to give you all that he could?
Didn’t he love you the way that he should?

Did you feel the pain that he did?
Did you ever see the tears that he hid?
Couldn’t you accept the love that he had?
Couldn’t you just take it and try and be glad?

Wasn’t his heart strong enough for you?
Didn’t he do all he could do?
Do you know the grief he feels now?
Have you a clue just as to how?

What could he have done to make you differ?
How could he have prevented your love from wither?
Didn’t he show you with all the words that he said?
Please think about that in the years that lie ahead.

Memories floating through my mind,
Some are soft but most are kind.
Smiles and laughs I enjoyed while here,
The love I shared with those held dear.
Days I would not swap for the world,
Dreams I lived and watched unfold.

A single day I would not change or differ,
Even the days when I cried a river.
They made me the man I am today,
Made me stronger and who can say,
What would have happened if I hadn’t tried.
Would I ever have been satisfied?

This life’s been good and so I push forward,
To a new beginning and up and toward.
One and all I thank the lot,
I’m truly grateful for what I am and what I’ve got.
