Oh how I will miss those sweet tender kisses

The kind that bled me dry from the inside

When you twisted my words into little white lies

Oh how I surmised it to be true

Those puppy dog eyes were damned if I do

And so we stepped into the dawn the very next day

Forever cha...

We weren’t sure if we were

Ready,

Because we definitely weren’t

Prepared,

But the wind was finally held

Steady,

And who really ever is aware?

Aware of when it is time,

To step away from what you’ve

The moon was content,

To be amongst the stars.

Forever changed this morn...

The void that you filled in each of our lives,

Now forever empty

The words that you’d say and things you would write, forever lay unchanged,

All of us here pray for the family and friends, wish you knew that you were plenty,

Maybe if we’d just spoken up or said these things before you left, things could’ve been different

But we didn’t and now your gone and each feels like they’re to blame, ...

We say we sleep at night

But really we’re always awake

Our minds churning

With the dreams we make

We run from the coming dawn

And take comfort in stars

For they are only small lights

To take a life… to save another…...
