Miles that separate Friends that discriminate Circumstances that kept us apart And those people who broke our hearts The feelings that I was scared to show The ones that you always made known The good times and the bad, [newpage] The happy and the sad You never gave up even when I would You never let go even though I said you should You said you love me and I believe its true And now I just need to say, Baby I love you too As the days went by I began to find [newpage] That this feeling inside was one I could no longer deny You amaze me in every way You continuously take my breath away You know me better then I know myself It's as if I'm a book, That you have read inside and out You know when I'm happy, and when I'm sad

I've never been the type to say what I feel So basically I keep everything inside And with you it was no different I want to tell you, believe me I've tried But there's part of me that just can't take that chance [newpage] So I doubt that you'll ever know Which may be fine with you, but it's hurting me I choose not to show it though I guess I'm your secret admirer That name seems to fit just right I don't know what I like about you But you're on my mind, day and night [newpage] Maybe it's the way you look So sexy I can't get enough Or how you make me feel when you come around I instantly forget all other stuff Maybe it's the way you say my name Or maybe it's the way you smile Then again it might just be everything

So in depth, hold on with all of my might. Waiting in the rain, a cold winter night. Inhale, exhale. Calm as I am. Hair blowing in the wind. Somebody take my hand. My eyes they close; As I breathe in deep You run through my mind And my life is complete. [newpage] I open my eyes But your still not there No one could take your place. With you my heart I share A cold afternoon, Hands as cold as ice Thoughts go through my mind My feelings are concise Lying in your arms We are the perfect match The distance is discouraging Yet still I am attached Sitting by the fire,

Wondrous Moment The wondrous moment of our meeting . . . I well remember you appear Before me like a vision fleeting, A beauty's angel pure and clear. In hopeless ennui surrounding The worldly bustle, to my ear For long your tender voice kept sounding, For long in dreams came features dear. [newpage] Time passed. Unruly storms confounded Old dreams, and I from year to year Forgot how tender you had sounded, Your heavenly features once so dear. My backwoods days dragged slow and quiet — Dull fence around, dark vault above — Devoid of God and uninspired, Devoid of tears, of fire, of love.

I lay on my bed soaking my pillow with my tears, I try to remember exactly what it is that I fear. Is it the passing of time or the love that I lack? Is it the mistakes that I've made or the fact that I can't bring the past back? What is it that I'm afraid of? Why am I so scared? [newpage] Is it the people I've hurt or the people that have hurt me? Am I afraid of everything that I cant seem to see? Is it the love of a friend, or the loss of my family? Is it the possibility that my life can end in a tragedy? What is it that I fear most? [newpage] What do my eyes say I'm scared of? Is it the sun that sets but won't seem to rise? Is it the hope that I have that always seems to die? Is it the trust of a person that I cannot begin to grasp? Is it all the memories of my horrid past? Is it me?

Although he could not say with words The love he felt inside He treasured every moment And his heart would fill with pride He never said I love you But he came to every game Even in defeat his son knew He loved him just the same [newpage] He'd pat him on the head Or maybe ruffle his hair And tell him he was proud of him As long as he played fair When he graduated college I love you wasn't said He smiled as he shook his hand Mumbling, well done, my boy instead

Sleepin' in your arms Feelin' safe from harm Impatiently I wait for the day That I don't have to see you go away Years have come and gone Yet our love has held on strong The time has come For us to finally be one You are my true lover and best friend, [newpage] My soul mate and companion to the end I hope to keep you happy Never getting too serious or sappy Your eyes that sparkle and shine, That excites me knowing your love is mine We both have hurt and cried The love for each other never died

I love the way you tell me that I’m beautiful, and the way you make me laugh like no one else. I love the way you move the hair away from my eyes, and then kiss me on my face. I love the way when you take me to the park [newpage] and put your hands around my waist as we watch the sunset together and feel the ocean breeze. I love the way you'd sing to me at random moments, and look at me and smile. I love the way you leave the smell of your cologne on my clothes after we hug [newpage] I love the way you would send me my favorite flowers along with an " I LOVE YOU" card. I love the way you speak your mind and tell me about your opinions. I love the way you're not afraid to cry and show your feelings. I love the way you call me in the middle of the day just to say " I LOVE YOU." [newpage] and say how much you miss me. I love the way you tell your friends about me and smile when you do. I love the way you whisper into my ear, the way your voice sounds so close to me. it feels like I’m dreaming. I love the way you do all of these and the fact that you're not ashamed to do it.

You invaded my private world with your beautiful smile and understanding heart, And I wondered to myself that you were different right from the very start. You listened without judgment to what I had about me to say, [newpage] And even after I was done with the good, the bad, the ugly you still didn't run away. We developed a friendship with trust, with no walls to build or guard, We decided to leave the past behind and step into the good that could be no matter our discomfort or how hard. [newpage] I've grown to love you with no hidden agenda or false pretense but with only the real me, Letting you get to know about me what most people never see. I'm writing this to you for you to understand, That spending time with you is so precious I never want to let go your hand. [newpage] The time that we spend apart cannot equal when we are together, I miss you oh too much but when we meet again will be so much better. Our time apart for me helps me see that you are what I have for many years been missing in my life, A woman that is beautiful, and kind, and understanding, [newpage] and loving, you are the woman I wished I would have met and been together long ago, and made you my wife. But the past is the past, and the future is what we do with each moment now, Let's make each moment we are together count and overshadow the past,

A million stars up in the sky one shines brighter I cant deny A love so precious a love so true a love that comes from me to you The angels sing when you are near within your arms I have nothing to fear

I love you so very much, Even thou at times I do things that hurt, I try so hard to hope that you always see, How much you being in my life means to me, I am sorry yet again for causing you pain, that is the last thing I ever wanted to do, Even when I am trying to look out for you and do the right thing I mess up, I am sorry for that too.

My knees start to shake when your in sight, my minds filled with wonder my heart with fright. when will this feeling stop, when did it start how can I listen to my mind without breaking my heart.
