What Used To Be

Remember all the times we shared? 

The laughs we laughed?

The games we played?

The boys we chased? 

The fights we had?

The dreams we had?

The plans we made?

The laughs we laughed,

at a million corny jokes.

The games we played,

but we never seemed to finish.

The boys we chased,

that you always caught.

The fights we had,

over the littlest things.

The dreams we had,

of being best friends forever.

And the plans we made,

to stick at one another's side.

But those joke's seemed too lame.

And the games got too old.

The boys stopped having cooties.

And the fights turned to silence.

The dream seemed to fade.

And the plans might not come true.

I still stop to think,

About what we used to do,

I like to think,

you do, too.

I like to think,

You think of me.

I like to think,

you think of what we used to be.

Until You

All I'd ever known, 

Is a broken heart that beats only for blood.

All I'd ever felt,

Is a wounded soul that is internally lonely.

All I'd ever loved,

Is the faint glimpses of happiness that hold nothing to the way I feel with you,

I'd only known,

the pain of barely surviving until I met the life of loving so dearly,

All I'd ever known,

All I'd ever felt,

All I'd ever loved,

And I'd ever known means nothing until I met you.

Until you,

My heart never beat with the excitement of someone near.

Until you,

My lonely soul did not feel complete.

Until you, 

I never felt the joy of love,

Until I met you, 

I never knew what it was like to live.

You and I

Leave your worries,

Leave your care, 

Let go for tonight, 

Just us and the air,

Escape the rush,

Escape the fear,

Just you and me, 

No one can hear,

Forget who you are,

Forget who I am, 

We belong you and I, 

Don't worry about them,

Feelings entwined,

Lips intersect,

Live in this moment,

Just one second perfect,

Relax,

It's just me,

Together you and I,

We're meant to be,

So forget about them, 

It's just you and I,

Our love and our feelings,

The stars and the sky.

Confused

Confused in this world,

Of hope and despair,

It's so hard to breathe,

Just need a gasp of air,

To keep me alive,

On this cold, lonely path,

Alone I must walk,

To face the world's wrath,

Not sure if I'll make it,

Not even halfway,

I just keep going,

Keep going day by day,

They tell me I'll make it,

But them I don't believe,

Only the harsh ones,

Who make me want to leave,

Leave this path that I'm walking,

As slow as can be,

I can only hope that at the end,

I'm still the same old me.

In...

My heart beats fast,

yet I still see his flaws.

My dreams have his face,

yet I know he breaks laws.

I feel like I know him so well, 

yet we barely even talk.

I love so many little things,

yet I criticize his walk.

He makes my butterflies sing,

yet some of them are wary.

He's changed my point of view,

yet my friends opinions vary.

He makes my head spin around just to see his face,

yet I'm not the only one of the same.

I know others like me, 

yet compared to him I'm just lame.

So many feelings,

In so many ways,

I only wish I knew what I was in...

People

People change, 

And people differ, 

Some may loosen,

Some may become stiffer.

People hurt, 

And people cry,

Some may rejoice,

While some may lie.

People relax,

And people tighten,

They may have laughs,

Or they may whiten.

People spread gossip,

And people harm others,

One person's business, 

May become another's.

People succeed,

And people win,

They can kick goals,

Or slide on their skin.

People are different,

and people are unique,

They can be loud,

Or they can be meek.

People are people,

And people are real,

They'll always make mistakes,

And sorrow they'll feel.

But next time you're human,

And can't help, but feel sad,

Remember the people,

And how they're not all bad.

My Path

I left my path,

The one I've traveled all these years, 

I've wandered off my road,

Oh, baby, here come the tears.

Which road do I explore next?

Some are too late to take,

Some just can't be conquered,

I guess it's time to break,

This fast paced life I love,

I guess it's time to rest,

Joyous times turned to bores,

Some would say I was blessed,

But I truly think I'm cursed,

No path to follow,

No road to take,

A difficult pill to swallow,

Maybe one day I'll find,

Another trail I love,

That I can hope to join one day,

Though there are none I can think of,

For now my life has slowed,

Left me missing my path,

My life has slowed and slowed,

I hope I won't face the wrath,

Of leaving hopes of joy behind, 

Joyous things no more to do,

I really miss that path I traveled,

I'm sure you would, too.
