BECOMES
LONELINESS
WHEN YOU
KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE
MISSING
I AM LONELY
YOU ARE BUT BORED
DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE MISSING?
NEVER WANTED TO SETTLE FOR THE NORM, REFUSED TO BE JUST A WIFE.
SHE NEEDED BIGGER THINGS THIS SMALL TOWN COULDN'T GIVE
IF SHE COULDN'T BREAK OUT, AND SOON, THERE WOULD BE NO REASON TO LIVE.
DAYDREAMING WILL ONLY GET YOU SO FAR WHEN YOU LONG TO BE FREE
YOU THINK OF DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET OUT AND DECIDE WHICH ONE IT WILL BE
IF IT'S REAL YOU WILL KNOW IT, IT'S SOMETHING YOU CAN'T FAKE OR HIDE
GO AHEAD AND CHOOSE YOUR DESTINY, DON'T EVER TRY AND KEEP IT INSIDE.
SO I'LL GO SO FAR THAT ONLY GOD WILL KNOW WHO I REALLY AM
LIVE MY DREAM, FEEL THE WIND ON MY FACE AND TOUCHING SACRED GROUND.
Fifteen years has come and passed,
Since I last saw your face.
I hunt for you everywhere,
But no where is your trace.
I've looked, into many of eyes,
I have seen, many a smiles.
I have touched, many of hands,
Hoping their yours somehow.
If I could take this ones laugh,
And this ones cute grins.
Or this ones way of talking,
And this ones feelings within.
If I could put them all together,
To make that love that's true.
Never could they come close to being,
That special someone,
YOU!

We met one day,
You and I.
We could not deny the spark that ignited,
In our hearts, souls and minds.
You as cool and calm as the summer breeze the day we met.
And I as neurotic as the threatening storm the night we met.
Yet, our lives were attaching yours and mine,
Perhaps without our consent.
My inner turmoil that grew within was only a threat to the promises you brought.
Yet, you did not fear and run away.
Instead you began sorting through the scraps.
You found me piece by piece.
A lonely heart, a lost soul and a tormented mind,
Together you put them with glue.
Then you worked on them one by one.
A heart could no longer feel lonely if loved.
A sould no longer lost if found.
And of course the mind,
Oh what a challenge.
This was to take the most time.
Many of years you did labor,
Repairing and mending away.
But one gray winter day something happened,
A huge storm came and blew us both apart.
Only for me to find,
Instead of singing a duo I was left singing a solo.

AND IT WILL BE AS IF WE HAD NEVER PARTED
YOU WILL SHOW ME YOUR WINGS
AND I WILL ONCE AGAIN BE WHOLE HEARTED.
I REMEMBER THE THINGS YOU TAUGHT ME
AND THE THINGS WE DONE TOGETHER.
HOW HARD IT IS TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU HERE
IT SEEMS YOU HAVE BEEN GONE FOREVER.
I REMEMBER YOUR SOFT VOICE
AND YOUR EVER GENTLE HAND
YOU WERE ALWAYS ASKING, "ARE YOU HUNGRY? ARE YOU WARM? I'LL DO ANYTHING THAT I CAN."
YOU WERE ALWAYS WORRYING ABOUT OTHERS
EVEN IN THE END
YOU WERE THE ONE THAT HELD US TOGETHER, ON YOU WE COULD ALL DEPEND.
I KNOW YOU ARE MUCH HAPPIER NOW, NO MORE PAIN AND SORROW.
YET I WILL STILL LONG FOR YOUR COMFORTING HAND WITH EACH NEW TOMORROW.
REST MY SWEET, YOU EARNED YOUR CROWN OF GOLD
I'LL DO MY BEST TO FOLLOW YOU AND DO AS I WAS TOLD.
I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH GRANDMA
THOUGH NOT MORE THAN ONCE OR TWICE.
YOU CAN'T DENY IT'S CROSSED YOUR MIND
AND YOU THOUGHT IT WAS KINDA NICE.
CAN'T BLAME ANYONE BUT US
FOR THIS MESS THAT SEEMS SO NEAR
WHO WILL LEAVE FIRST...YOU AND YOUR PRIDE?
OR ME AND MY FEAR?
WHEN I WAS JUST A CHILD
BICYCLES, PIZZA AND HOMEWORK
AND YEARS THAT SEEMED TO LAST
I CLOSE MY EYES AND I CAN ALMOST SEE
BONFIRES, CASHMERE AND RIBBONS
AND LETTERS FROM YOU TO ME
