Being Together

Over a hill
Under a tree
We sit together
Like two happy bees

Madly in love
An uncontrolable desire
We sit once more
Next to a warm cozy fire

We sit and talk
About things to be
And often wonder
What it would be like
If we hadn't found one another

 The Tragic Past

In the darkness of the night
I think back to a past event
That has hurt a friend
Whom I care for a lot

I remember the day that's past
I learned the truth about someone
Whom I had a crush on and loved
And til this day I still have
Feelings for this one

Why must I be the one who suffers
Even though I'm not the one who got hurt
I don't understand
I feel like killing myself
But I know that I can't
Cause my friends care a lot
I'm sure they do

I don't know what would happen
If they found me dead
And lying there lifeless

The Minute I Knew I loved You

Many days go by
Until the day we say hello
Right from the start
I knew you were the one
To love with all my heart
Until the end of time

 A Friend Too Far To See

A friend too far from sight
Is floating in my mind
Did I do something wrong
That was not quite right

I try and try but nothing appears
This one won't say a word
For now I know what I did wrong
And will try to understand
A way to break this unhappiness

But what can I do
To unright this wrong?
What can I possibly say
This lonliness that I feel inside
I must make this right
