A joy, a laugh, a new born hope
Play tricks and scheme and lie
More sorrow, dread, convulsive sobs
They turn when all hope dies

A day, a night, a setting sun
All mean the same to me
A sigh, a tear, a forceful smile
It just wasn't meant to be

Him: "I was talking to my friend and I said: 'perfect imperfection.' He looked at me quizzically; then I walked over to you, kissed the top of your head, and stood behind you for a moment. Then he knew what i meant."

&& I hope that you will see it;
See it in my eyes, my words, my heart.
But until the day you realize,
How much I really need you;
I'll close my eyes and think of you,
While trying not to cry.

Your memory hurts my conscience;
Your voice still rings through my ears;
Your lies tear down my weakened faith,
Through those distant things you told me-
Assuring me it would be fine
And that you would help me to the end.

&&When I fade in the dying breeze, you will hear the words 'I love you' brush up against your ear. Just know it's me, telling you what you should've known before I left.

It's not that I find happiness in the pain...
...it's that I find pain in the happiness.

I feel so much when I think of you; I can feel the pain pulsing through me, I can feel my blood running cold, and I can feel my heart breaking apart.
But what I can't feel, is your presense close by me.
I can't feel the way I felt when you loved me.

Don't ask me what's wrong, pretend I look all right. It's just hard for me to hide the fact that I've been crying when my cheeks are streaked, my lips cracked, my eyes are swollen and my heart broken.

Forever together:
An ignorant phrase, said by lovers in short lived days.
