Whisper....
Another night alone,
Your distant whisper,
Now a deafening tone.
I remember holding you each morning,
Gazing at your smile, was my favourite thing to do,
Love was upon us, What more is there to say,
How did we get to where we are today?
Days, months and years will pass,
But you know i'll still ask the question,
It will slowly tear me apart but I must know,
How did we lose direction?
Right or wrong, life must go on,
Theres simply no other way,
And now I dare to dream,
Of you and the way we were,
Every night I...

Ever meant something
Remember me,
Though I know you wish to forget,
I ensured you lost sight of us,
And wish we'd never met.
But now I wish to tell you,
The things I seldom said,
Thoughts that passed threw,
That I never shared.
I had seen our future,
Only the finer details not,
But I never envisaged,
The love you've now forgot,
I saw the way I looked at you,
In twenty years time,
As if a day hadn't passed,
Your heart still mine,
I still made you smile,
Just like I always did,
My present and future demenor,
Showed me I always would....

Relive...
In my dreams you return,
When I wake your memory burns,
Time brings some relief,
And though i've let you go,
I still wish you were mine to keep.
For you see I cannot hide,
The simple fact is your no longer mine,
My heart has healed and I must move on,
But why does it feel as if your not gone.
And one day when you forgive,
Perhaps some memories we can relive,
Only then can I put this to rest,
I know this because my heart knows best...

Heart of glass
Memories fade,
New love begins,
The past haunts,
When did the end begin?
Wishing tomorrow was today,
So I could save what was left,
Remembering the words you said,
On our death bed,
I cannot describe,
The pain in your eyes,
As you drifted from my side,
My excuses you no longer cared for.
Now when im alone,
I resist the urge to call,
To tell you im so down,
Something in me knows to let you go...
I know you want an explanation,
But it's too much to ask,
For im still trying to pick up the pieces,
Of...

Aren't you glad you let your love show...
Look at her,
Beauty undiscovered,
The best thing in my life,
If I only I could tell her how I feel,
All these ideas could be right,
Sit with her,
Admire her words,
Share your intentions,
Ensure she knows what you mean,
So she can't slip away.
Love her,
Dream of the unknown,
Unrivalled Passion,
Read her thoughts,
Hope that she shares yours...
Desire her,
Feelings never fade,
Age is a barrier yes,
But look at the progress weve made,
She sees it in my gaze.
Tell her,
Whats on your mind,...

Within the night,
I toss and turn,
Waking up is my nightmare,
Your memory my weakness,
But im thankful that sunrise will awaken me,
So I can stop,
Searching for you in these sheets...

Sigh
Sorting my way through life,
Not leading the path I intended,
Wishing you were still here,
Though I know I can't mend this.
Picking through the pieces,
Of a love gone by,
You don't know how hard it is,
To get you off my mind.
Without you I struggle,
To come to grips with life,
If only you knew what you meant to me,
I could of escaped all of this strife.
Making a new path,
Not sure where it's headed,
It's going to be a long journey,
And I haven't started yet.
Holding on to hope,
Doesn't lead me to you,...

When you find yourself...
I'm still here,
Though I know your not looking,
You may of lost your faith,
But im still wishing,
I can't let you slip away,
Despite being told to let go,
I know your determined,
But so am I you know...
So whilst your hiding from me,
I reveal something to you,
Hoping you might see,
It is my heart,
And it won't take care of itself,
It needs your help,
So know i'll still be here,
When you find yourself....

Walking away
I love you,
But you don't know,
For I can't say,
So I will go...
Your with him now,
And I missed my chance,
If only i'd of told you how I felt,
Our hearts could of danced,
I wish you would leave him,
To be with me,
Because I know he influences you,
Against me...
Best friends we once were,
Not lovers like we should of been,
I hope he treats you well,
And even though I know your not watching,
I wish you would stop me,
From Walking Away...

Broken...
I can't be trusted,
No promises kept,
But you know i'll always love you,
No Regret.
I'm trying to forget you,
Though it's hard to move on,
So many things remind me of you,
It all comes back when I hear our song,
Fighting the feelings,
I'm no longer allowed to have,
Unable to give the love I possess,
For you are unwilling to receive,
Out for the count,
I remain faithful to you,
Though unwanted,
I still believe you love me too.
One day come and find me,
I'll be waiting for you,
My life is on hold,
For my heart only...

What hes missing
Within these walls,
Concealed away,
A man alone,
Too far gone to reach,
He misses you,
And the part you played,
In his confused life,
He would tell you all this,
But he knows your done listening,
Recognising you are gone,
Without you he moves on,
As he knows he can stay strong,
He can't erase you from his mind,
And knows you'll appear at times,
But your memory he keeps,
To think of when he recounts,
What hes missing...
