we can never be the same
never will I forget your name,
your face, the portrait of an angel
hanging in my mind
I've lost what I can't find
I can't call you mine,
but at least there's tonight

so I'll love you friend
beginning to end
this is where it begins,
if tonight is coming to an end
maybe love will find us again
and I can pretend
tonight I'll dream of you
and we'll spend forever,
together in my head

statues crumble at our feet
as we stand together,
I feel so complete
I never want this to end,
but I swear if this is a dream
I'm never going to sleep again

you're still here today
hopefully I can say
your friend I'll stay
But tomorrow morning
is a lifetime away

it takes two to tango
I don't want to feel like I'm dancing alone
we're terrible dancers,
but we can at least dance together
and everything will be fine
maybe someday you'll be mine

I'll love you forever long
I thought my wings were gone,
but I'm flying higher than ever
so take my hand,
and dance with me,
like we danced once upon a time

I fall asleep at night,
and you're all I dream about
You're all I see;
I just can't live without
all these feelings

You've sparked a fire in my heart
Lets become as one then never fall apart

These butterflies fill my stomach,
and multiply -
Remember when I said,
"You complete me, my puzzle piece"

You knock me off my feet
I get up, I fall in love

I just can't breathe
Breathe sweet life into me
Into this sleep I drift away...
but you're still here when I awake

I pause to think,
but you flood my thoughts
I love you so much, I never want to stop
Are you real, or just a fantasy?
Its so surreal; you've become a part of me

I just can't breathe...
Hung up on your last words

Young children should not skate on thin ice
I'm swiftly slipping through the cracks
I knew this was too good to last

Please can you tell me this is not another dream
Another sleepless night, its something I'm used to
I just can't sleep at night if I'm not dreaming about you

the day to my night.
A light in the dark;
so shining bright.

A sad song today;
is music to my ears.
Tomorrow won't be the same,
dried will be your tears.

A love so blind;
it can see no boundaries.
Frightening, the dark,
I see nothing before me.

The light in my dark,
a mark on my heart.
But will the light,
falter tonight?

The white to my black,
an everlasting light;
but the shadow intact,
reminds me of the night.

The fact that I lied,
can't be set aside.
Your trust resides,
my day fades to night.

I lost what I found.
The day to my night.
Will I be whole?
The doubt grows in height.


Will tomorrow be the same?
The next day refrain?
My happiness fades.
Sad I remain.

Tomorrow won't be the same,
as long as our love maintains.
My sadness fades,
the sun rises again.

tomorrow won't be the same.

The light in my dark,
a mark on my heart.
But will the light,
falter tonight?

The light remains bright.
But is the end in sight?
I fear this inside;
I'm afraid of the night.

You are the white to my black,
the day to my night.
A light in the dark,
so shining bright.

The white to my black,
the day to my night.
A light in the dark,
the love of my life.
One of my first poems.

As I gaze into your eyes,
they reflect a look of surprise.
They look so familiar...
these eyes I have seen,
but only when I sleep.

For all of my life,
where have you been?
I've been seeing you again and again.
The seeing is pain,
just out of my grasp is where you remain.

Where have you been?
I've been needing a friend,
you're so wonderful.
Its so difficult for me to comprehend.

I'm afraid to open up to you,
will you reject me?
The thought of rejection is so frightening...

But your eyes, your eyes! They radiate light!
Where have you been all my life?

I've known you but a day,
yet my breath you take away,
as you continue to amaze,
and my heart you set ablaze.

This feeling is so real,
I never want it to end.
I need you in my life,
I just want to be your friend.

Love at first sight was always such a joke.
Now when I talk to you its hard not to choke.
While my knees become weak,
and my words I cannot speak,
my legs begin to tremble,
this feeling I remember...

Where have you been all my life?

Your eyes bring a tear to mine.
You've been here all along.
You've just been hiding for so long.
Its not surprising to me;
I've found the girl of my dreams.
My first poem.
