The nights are long.
The days so sad.
Not knowing what we lost,
Not knowing what I had.
I think of you for hours.
Your lips I just can't kiss.
You're the one I want.
You're the one I'd miss.
Although we talk of friendship,
I always think of love.
Hoping we could have more,
Not just a friendly shove.
You tell me of your problems.
I listen with open ears.
I'd like to tell you mine,
But I'll always have fears.

Have you ever felt alone in life,
Felt no-one cared for you?
Or been out with a group of friends,
And felt alone then too?
Have you ever had a broken heart,
You felt couldn't be repaired?
Or tried to touch somebody with your words,
But knew nobody cared?
Have you ever needed good advice,
But were too afraid to call?
Or felt separated from the world,
Surrounded by a brick wall?
Have you ever been asked about your future,
And said you couldn't care less?
Or tried to pick up the pieces but,
They make just one giant mess?
Have you ever felt so confused,
That you couldn't even cry?
Have you ever felt so damn depressed;
Have you ever wished to die?

Too often we don't realize
What we have until it's gone
Too often we wait to late to say
"I'm sorry, I was wrong"
Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones
We hold dearest to our hearts
And we allow stupid things
To tear our lives apart
Far too many times we let
Unimportant things get in our mind
And by then it's usually too late
To see what made us blind
So be sure that you let people know
How much they mean to you
Take the time to say the words
Before your time is through
Be sure that you appreciate
Everything you've got
And be thankful for the little things
In life that mean a lot
- Regina Riggs
I want to hold you, stroke your hair
I want to let you know I care
I want to open up my mind
so you can see my love is kind
I want to make you understand
my love is gentle, hold your hand,
and touch your face and kiss your eyes
make you believe I speak no lies
I want to let you deep inside
so you can see I do not hide
so you can know my love is true
so you can feel my love for you.
- Barb Carlson
Everything's gone wrong today.
No one reacts to anything you say.
No matter how much you scream and cry,
The world seems to be passing you by.
No one seems to notice or care,
That you're trying to be heard over your despair.
But on one face a smile shines through,
A smile that knows and cares about you.
A smile with love to lend
On a face you recognize as a friend.
-Courtney Trevino
How can you explain a hurt,
That runs so far and deep inside?
You can laugh and smile,
But the crying doesn't subside?
To me, it's like the ocean,
Which seems so blue and clear.
But when you go down deep,
It's full of darkness and fear.
It seems like it goes on forever,
That the happiness would never end.
But then you reach the shore of reality,
That sometimes isn't a friend.
But after every ocean, there's a lake.
Which eventually runs into a stream.
So, I pray for you the pain will lessen,
And maybe soon it won't be so extreme.
- Melissa Brunner
As I look out at the majestic sea,
I know you and I were meant to be.
I only wish I could make you see
How much your love means to me.
I wish I could walk up to you
And speak the words that lovers do.
But now I sit here sad and blue
Wishing that I could be with you.

There's so much I can't say
when I look into your eyes.
I'm worried you'll reject me
and hurt my foolish pride.
Each day this love grows stronger,
but I could never let you know.
There's so much behind my smile
that I could never show.
I'd hold you for a lifetime,
if you would let me in.
I'd love you like no other,
but you don't understand.
Every time I see you
you are holding her.
The pain is like a knife
cutting deep into my soul.
So I'll dream of us together,
of just how it could be.
And all that you are
will remain a silent part of me.
Erica Dione Barnard
When I looked in your eyes,
I knew it was true.
My heart never lies--
I was in love with you.
As you stood there
just looking around,
my whole body melted
into the ground.
I remember the day,
I remember the time,
I remember the place,
it is always on my mind.
You looked so good,
in your shirt and jeans.
I remember that night,
you were in my dreams.
I wish I could be with you
day after day,
because I love you more
than words can ever say.
- Stephanie Angnasani
Friendships come and Friendships go
Like wave upon the sand
Like day and night
Like birds in flight
Like snowflakes when they land
But you and I are something else
Our friendship's here to stay
Like weeds and rocks and dirty socks
It never goes away!
-Diane Andersen
And your eyes glisten
In the windswept candlelight.
Like angels dancing
On the moonlit pools of forever.
The light glides across you,
Creating shadows of passion
Silhouetting my heart.
Luscious lips carrying dreams of eternal love
Whispered to my heart with every precious kiss
The shadows dance around us,
Fading into the embracing candle's light
The night, an empty canvas
To be painted with desire.
Golden seas of silken touch,
The windows to your soul,
A hallowed, glistened green
And your heart,
A single candle.
