You came into my life so fast,
That my greatest fear was that it wouldn’t last.
It happened once, it happened again.
My world’s so backwards I can’t think of where to begin.
How can something that feels so right be so wrong?
Now I can’t stand the thought of you being gone.
We were opposites in so many ways,
But we still have some fantastic days.
I never understood those feelings I felt.
Confusion was the only thing God had dealt.
I asked him for assistance in telling me why,
Why you bring such an emotional high.
When you smile it strikes me right in the heart.
Your eyes seem so warm that it’s so hard to part.
Remember those times I just wouldn’t let go?
It was all those feelings you just couldn’t know.
Now when my tears are all gone,
The first rain to welcome fall is on.
I wonder if the heavens feel my pain,
Or is it a beginning to a better gain?
I just wanted to be something important to you.
You meant so much, more than you ever knew.
I wanted to stand out on your list.
I guess it all began with a kiss.
The first kiss was so odd to me,
All fears and worries left, you see?
I could only hope and pray that you felt the same way.
You’re very significant to me, something I could never sway.
I have no true purpose in writing this.
I just can’t help but recall all that I’ll miss…
