Trying to Remember

Sitting in my bedroom
Trying to remember -
Kindness, laughter
Sharing of thoughts
Listening, caring, loving -
Wondering what was becoming.
Sitting in my bedroom
Trying to remember -
Our friendship
Bearing a special place
Deep within my heart
Always there -
Never to depart
Sitting in my bedroom
Trying to remember -
Long nights together
Wanting to go on
Seemed to last forever
But too soon were gone.
Sitting in my bedroom
Trying to remember -
What we shared
The happy times
Longing to be together
Sitting in my bedroom
Trying to remember -
Why it ended
What went wrong
How could something so good
Suddenly be gone?
Sitting in my bedroom
Trying to remember.

Listen & Learn

Have you loved someone so much
That it hurts inside?
Have you wanted something so much
That it makes you cry?
Have you tried to make a difference
To change your life?
Have you given someone else a chance
To prove their worth?
Have you felt that no one cared enough
To lend a hand?
Have you wondered where to turn
For the gift of happiness?
Have you listened to your heart
For the answers?
Just listen to your heart
And you will learn.

Brown Eyes

Your brown eyes shine in the pale moonlight
Your smile takes away my worries and also my fright
When you look away I just have to stare
I love your features - your eyes, smile, and hair
When you came, I thought it was a dream
How could a guy be so nice?
None around here were like that, it seemed.
Now that you were here I had nothing left to fear
You would always be there for me, far or near
All I have to do is think of you
And the memory will make me have a happy day too
You are a great friend and a great guy
When I think of you, my heart starts to fly
It soars to a far off place
Where your memory takes up its space
I can still see your features -
Your brown eyes, your smile and your hair
I look upon your memory with love and care

The Gift of Love

I didn't know what love was
Until I met you
Love is something
You don't just give away
Love is a gift
Love comes so gradually
And suddenly
That you don't know it has hit you
Until it is too late
To share the gift of love
You have to be willing
To carry each others burdens
Nothing matters anymore
Except the happiness
Of the one you love.
