Long Distance

A great relationship is what we yearn for
Along the way we have a few, and from those we learn more
You need trust, communication, and honesty
What's ideal? We have no clue honestly
We face many problems to try and make them last
Some end because of lust, others because of the past
Some end because we 'spend too much time together'
We then forget to appreciate what it took to get her
What's worse is the issue of being far apart
Can't just see your other half, but you put on a fake smile and play the part
Even distance shouldn't be enough to cause a break up
You wish for the day she's the first face you see once you wake up
If the distance tears you apart, then it wasn't meant to be
It's all from the heart, it's a little piece of me
I've been through this once, never thought I'd be willing
But the heart wants what it wants, who was I kidding
I remember not knowing what to expect, when we lived on the phone
Once we hung up, I felt all alone
It really was a test, this long distance dating
But I remember once she was here, it was all worth the waiting
The late night talks about what we would do once the plane lands
Me? I didn't care, as long as were able to finally hold hands
The little things I learned to love, even if I didn't her
Where it was headed, I really wasn't sure
We eventually ended, and I'm proud to say the miles didn't kill us
Instead, it brought us closer and it filled us
Don't ever say that long distance wouldn't work, and that it isn't something you would do
That's what I said years ago, and now I'm writing this for you

Never Forgotten

Sittin on this park bench thinkin' about the past
Wonderin' where the time went by so fast
I think I'm alone but my thoughts flow freely
Too much goin' on feelin like I'm knee deep
Most days I think about my deceased high school friends
Remembering their faces and asking God why he needed 'em
All I can think is he needed some young angels to oversee with him
Tony, Adan, Raymond, Gladys how can I forget you?
With your deaths it's like a part of me died too
This place just isn't the same without you
I would trade any material possessions to have you back in a heartbeat
All to just have that again, your hearts beat
All the good times we had is what I miss
The only things I'm left with are the memories so I often reminisce
It's just tough realizing that you're gone
Me walking this earth without you just feels so wrong
Thinking about seein' you in your casket
Hugging your sobbing parents while we walked together passed it
Them saying they're supposed to be the ones getting buried
Sad because they won't be able to see their children get married
Or get to experience what it's like to be a parent
You're constantly on my mind, isn't it apparent?
Wish you can join me on the adventures I take
Like telling God I think he made a mistake
Too soon you guys left this earth
Too many of us are too caught up in what certain things are worth
There's no set price on this thing we take for granted called life
I know you all watch over me and what I do
I can feel you all around me, I don't need a clue
All I ask is for you to continue to guide me through each sin
Hold it down up there, I love you, 'till we meet again
