To Love And To Lose

It’s better to have loved and lost,

Than to never have loved at all.

For how could I ever live my life

Knowing I missed out on this?


_To lose the feeling of you_

_Is a thought I can’t comprehend._

_For how would I live my life_

_Knowing I lost this?_


I’m so grateful

For all the time we share.

Every day I thank whatever being controls out fate,

I thank them for bringing me closer to you.


_I’m so...

What Is Love?

No, I just cannot agree. They were taken too soon and it just is not fair.


How can you say that?

You had many years to love and cherish this person, when our time is up, it is up.

At worst, we have lost, but at best we have loved?


We lost the person that matter the most, there is no love anymore, how can there be?

Loved And Lost

It's better to have loved and lost,

I'm sorry that things turned out this way,

I never meant to break your heart.

Despite the happiness I once felt,

And the love that you have shown,

There are things that I have tried to fix,

But Im not sure this is my home.

The things we need just aren't the same,

But I'm grateful for all we are.

Please know that I still care fo...

Loved And Lost

She was like the sun in my sky,

Constantly lightening up my day just with her presence.

She was perfect.

Being with her felt like being a god,

I had the world at my fingertips.

I loved her everyday with all I could offer,

It may not have been much but it was all I had.

She will forever be the best chapter in my long and complicated life.

That’s why I told her as we parted,

“It’s better to have...

My Best Friend

He is my best friend always will be

I did nothing wrong, honest


thick as thieves We were all each other ever had

Never made anyone do anything they didn’t want to do


Can’t match the boy I knew with the things he’s done

Nothing’s wrong with taking gifts


debit cards to dating apps he slid deep into the grift

Is it so bad to tell stories?


To be special is all he ever wanted

Made them feel special...

Loveless

I’d rather not, I think, experience life’s pain

But then, my friend, what would you gain

The gain, my dear, is preserving my heart

But no, my love, that isn’t very smart


To live without love means emotions run cold

Yes, exactly, living fearless and bold

Who needs the fleeting feeling of love

Living without it, raise quickly above


But years fly by and love is lost

No one now to laugh and toss

Se souvenir plutît qu’oublier

J’ai encore ton collier,

j’ai gardĂ© une trace de toi,

un signe que tu Ă©tais lĂ ,

une preuve que tu as existé.


On me demande si je regrette,

d’ĂȘtre restĂ© malgrĂ© tout,

comme si tu n’avais jamais Ă©tĂ© doux.

Je refuse de voir notre amour comme une perte.


On s’est aimĂ© Ă  s’en dĂ©truire,

notre amour nous a brûlé,

notre amour nous a blessé,

On s’aimait à en mourir.


Mais on s’aimait,

d’un amour qu’on ne r...

Loved You Lost You

Today I am grateful

I can have no regrets

I was never innocent

I have a special kind of life now.


I am trying figure out what it means

God was trying to save me

He closed doors I couldn’t

He knew I wouldn’t


I am thankful for God letting me see him

Getting know him love him

I learn a lot from him



Everyone says you are so smart

But that is from all them years

Of listening to him

First Love

Hands brushing hands

One ecosystem of bacterium fusing with the other

Temperatures morphing and matching

Until two strangers are no longer unfamiliar


(It was just a hand touch, nothing more)


Eyes blazing, buttes burning

Finding one another in a busy room

Soundless words traverse and exchange

An entire conversation with closed lips


(You over romanticize everything, it’s not that deep)
