I never wanted it to come to this.I guess I have no other choice.And when I say goodbye to you,I’ll hide the pain that’s in my voice. I tried for so longTo just hold on to you.Even though I knew you weren’t mine,I did everything I could possibly do. I […]

Some people believeHappiness is where you find it.What you want makes you content,And your life’s candle is always lit. If you live in the present,Then happiness exists all around.It is then your duty to keep it alive,To make it forever bound. If you live for the future,Live it day by […]
I remember the first time we spoke.You stood behind me and whispered in my ear.Waiting to see if anyone was looking,You ran your fingers through my hair. We became friends.There was nothing more.Still, I longed to discoverJust what forever is for. But then your best friend came along.Everything changed so […]
