My Past - My Reflection

 I thought about you today And I guess I still wonder how it would have been had I stayed I sometimes think about you and how we used to be 

And though it can be hard to see I really did have love for you And maybe just maybe I wonder how it would have been had I not left 

Had I just gotten over myself and tried one more time Would you really still be mine Would we have fulfilled our dreams Would we still be a team 

At times I smell your scent and for a second I look around hoping to see you After reality hits I forget and it's like we never met

I sometimes wonder how you are, if you're okay, mentally and physically 

Then I see your face and I try and recreate the emotions and expressions from my memory 

At times I asked myself if I really did do enough. I wronged you so bad and never had the patience for you to deal with it I wonder if I apologised enough 

We weren't perfect but I know you loved me and I know I loved you, but at times I wonder if  we both honored that enough. 

I took you for granted too I wonder if you think of me like I think of you,   I wonder if you still remember my scent or my smile or the way I am.... 

As i think of you i know i wish you happiness and love, for I still treasure all the good....

You Make Me Feel

 In your arms,

I'm in my safe haven.
With you holding me tight,
I have no other craving.

All I need
is that one look
that says you're always there,
just like in a fairy tale book.

Your eyes talk to me
as the world stands still.

Your eyes tell me
that you'll love me every day.
No matter what may come,
you'll be there to stay.

I tell you everything
and never with a lie:
all my worldly secrets
and everything that once made me cry.

Everything in my past,
with you I can forget it all.
I know I can trust you
to catch me if I fall.

If only I could explain
how much love I have for you.
