2001...I am learning to let go of the people and things that hurt me.  How hard is it to be a person who wants nothing more than the whole world to be happy...there's no way to control the actions of others, although I wish I could.  College is approaching and I am desperatly wondering if I will make new friends.  Besides my new girl at home, who has been nothing but grand, I have forgotten how to converse with people...how do I open myself up?  That's my one fear...my biggest fear.
7-15
How can one person be so empty and selfish?
There is nothing wrong with my life, but I cannot see it.
The emptiness in my stomach, the loneliness in my heart
Reminds me constantly I hold myself in my arms.
There is no one here to love me, no one to be true
How can I make you see, i'm broken through and through
My tears keep falling as I imagine those hands
Tracing my cheeks as I sore above the land.
But it is all in my mind, the tears fall harder and harder
There is
no one here to love me
My pool of saddness grows larger.
7-7
I need to fall
head over heals
Am I really alive?
Nothing seems real
My friends are gone
My soul is empty
Just like my lilfe
Someone rescue me
Take me by the hand
Look me in the eyes
Tell me who I am
Don't say goodbye
I take a step back
My heart is on the edge
I've been balancing for so long and I can't comprehend
The plain and simple fact
I was meant to live alone
No friends to confide in
No love to call my own
My heart is torn in pieces
Nothing will ever heal
The only thing i've ever wanted...
A love that is real
8-13
I just need your arms, I just need your smile
I just need to feel your love for awhile.
I need to feel your hands trailing over my skin
Touching me so softly as I breath you in
I take as much of you as I possibly can
You won't be here long, yes I understand
You just can't be with me, your heart is somewhere else
But you'll take me for the moment, I'm glad you worry about yourself.
How can I make you understand, how can I make you see
I'm so desperate for your love and it just keeps breaking me
It's tearing me apart knowing you want me for one thing
It's tearing me apart, cause very single time I let you win.
8-4
I miss you, I do
The laughs and long talks
the advice we shared
the tears we sobbed
I hate the feeling
that's stinging inside
I didn't mean to push you away
I thought I tried
It wasn't enough, though
You slipped further away
you became a stranger to me
there's nothing I could say
You changed, you did
the shine in your eyes
your gentle tone
and soft smile
All of it's gone
you floated away
who did you become
nothing is the same
I don't know what to do
I want our friendship back
our hugs and cuddling
I want it all on track
I miss you, I do
I just don't know
how all this happened,
and i'm sorry I let you go
8-24
What a lonely life
you've given to yourself
I wish I could help you
and remember it's not my fault
Seeing you in so much pain
Makes my heart cry
as I realize all we've missed
I always hear goodbye
Where is the bond,
the unbreakable two?
Where is daddy's little girl?
What happened to you?
I've never felt your arms
to comfort my fears
I've never felt your hands
wiping away my tears
There's a gap in my soul
just waiting for the day
when we can start over
and forget about yesterday
10-10
Hide all the laughter
Shelter the tears
How am I to feel?
with my emotions so unclear?
I will not handle it
I've hurt too much before
So you better get over it
My life is too precious
And moving so fast
My heart keeps racing
And I want it to last
You won't make it stop
You're not taking it away
This happiness is mine
And it's gonna stay
So look at my smile
It's one you can't reach
You being every single person
that's ever mistreated me.
10-30
All I can say is beautiful
that's how you made me feel
your hands so gentle
it seemed so unreal
to have your arms around me
holding me so tight
our fingers intertwined
your lips touching mine
wow, how beautiful
every part of you
always touching me
it was so deep and true
thank you for that
for moving slow
for stopping when I asked
but never letting me go
for making the effort
to come and talk to me
no funny feelings...
but you got a hold on me
I have butterflies inside
my hands always shake
when you're on my mind
my smile won't ever fade.
9-16
My heart is so ready
to fall for you
just give me a sign
tell me what to do
seeing your face
makes me smile
hearing your voice
drives me wild
i want to touch you
and feel you next to me
just by thinking of you
I feel less lonely
just give me the sign
and i'll hold you all night
i'll never let you go
my grasp is so tight
lets lay under the stars
and soak up the moon
my heart is so ready
to fall for you

I close my eyes and smile
as I imagine the beautiful fate
that god gave us each other
I couldn't see life any other way
The love that I feel beams stronger with every passing day;
though our lives are growing
each in a seperate way
and when we hurt inside or
when it's all said and done
there's that one special bond
where we can always run
I look at our lives
and who we've grown to be
we owe it to each other for
creating what we see
every once of laughter
the tears that we've shed
is all gained wisdom that
we'll hold til the end....
12-25
I, truly have never felt this way before.  Every object, song and word screams your name.  Every part of me is needing you here by my side.  I want to feel your lips against mine while your finger-tips trace my face.  I want to feel safe within your grasp.  All I want to do is love you,
...we are so beautiful and
it's so easy to explain
why our morals are so strong and our love will never restrain
it's showing trust and affection, learning to forgive and forget
how cool are we!!

kiss you, hold you all night long until the day.  God, just to be close to you, would always make my world right, my eyes shine and my heart smile. Please say you'll always, always, let your heart smile with me.
