Finding The Woman I'm Meant To Be

Flying

Hours and hours of conversation
Questions answered without hesitation
Smiling so hard our cheeks are in pain
My new favorite song’s the sound of your name

Learning about you, new things each day
Refreshing and honest – you don’t shy away
Challenging me with all the right words
With just one smile you calm all my nerves

I am completely vulnerable
A naked feeling, while I’m fully clothed
These feelings we have are terrifying
Afraid of heights, but here we are flying

The men in my past have always lied –
To get in my pants, to get in my life
Said things they thought I wanted to hear
Took pieces of me and then disappeared

You call me gorgeous and say I’m sexy
For the first time, there’s no questioning –
What you say is what I believe
You’ve become someone important to me

I melt inside when I see your face
The sound of your voice, a familiar place
I’m giving in, my hearts on my sleeve;
An unexpected surprise – a find I hope you keep

Friend Zone

I would erase you, delete every moment from my mind.
It wouldn’t effect any other portion of the time that’s gone by.
Then you wouldn’t exist and neither would the pain –
That’s what you do to a girl when you tell her you don’t feel a thing.

She Went On

She held on tightly
As you slowly let her go
She told you her feelings
You wouldn’t let her know
She kept trying
Holding so tight you slipped away
She went on crying
Only hoping you would stay

She felt empty
As you went on having fun
Her world was ending
As you felt yours had just begun
She kept thinking
Was she just another mistake?
She went on crying
Knowing her wake up call was too late

She held hope
Thinking you’d realize your loss
Her heart was breaking
Not knowing all was lost
She prayed you’d change
Beg for forgiveness from her
She went on crying
Not knowing if you’d be back for sure

She couldn’t move on
Knowing that then you would, too
She couldn’t let go
Of the thought of the both of you
She didn’t try
To be with anyone else
She went on crying
Thinking if she lost you, she lost herself

She finally broke down
Letting everyone around her see
How she couldn’t let go
It wasn’t love it was robbery
She still hopes
That someday you’ll come back
She went on crying
She just couldn’t face the facts

She sounds so weak
This girl attached to you
No wonder you let her go
Other men have, too
I feel sorry for her
This girl you used to see
She screwed everything up
Oh that’s right, that girl was me

Gifts of You

Save a dream for me tonight

When you go and close your eyes

Let my face flow threw your mind

Save a dream for me tonight

Save a heartbeat for my name

Let it flow like sweet champagne

When love no longer is a game

Save a heartbeat for my name

Save a whisper for my ear

One that only I will hear

In your eyes I’ll disappear

Save a whisper for my ear

Save a kiss for my lips

One that your heart will miss

Look back on it and reminisce

Save a kiss for my lips

Save a glance for my eyes

Let it be your heart’s surprise

Deeply gaze without a lie

Save a glance for my eyes

Save a piece of your heart for me

It will not break, I’ll let it free

Your heart with mine, I’ll safely keep

Save a piece of your heart for me

Love Never Started

Who are you?

What were we?

What I was –

I’ll never be

What we were

We’ll never see

I lost you,

When I lost me.
