Everything Changes But You

how can I explain?

how can I describe?

leaving me destitute

turning me into an empty shell;

I am wide awake

but my world is half asleep,

voices telling me to carry on

but I am swimming in an ocean all alone;

I tried to go on like

this never happened,

but where I am going

is anybody’s guess!

I will not question

what has brought you here to me

but some how, some where

it was meant to be.

with every step that I take,

I am more confident than before;

a thousand miles apart, I might be,

yet you will still be in my thoughts;

all good things must end,

as life is forever changing,

as I stand here, with emotions running deep,

I have nothing else to say

I have no words to comfort you

I hope everything changes but you;

as I sit here, pen and paper in hand,

wondering about all that happened,

together, forever we will stay,

because you know in your heart

that I will love you always;

The Light of Friendship

I’ve seen the light

And it’s in you,

In everything you are

And in everything you do.

It’s a perfect light

That shines for all to see.

It radiates from you

And has pierced the heart of me.

The light is from a friend.

It’s a light that keeps me warm.

It lets me know how loved I am,

And keeps me safe from harm.

To you my friend I am thankful,

In each and every way.

For you lift my spirits up,

With every passing day.

To know that you are there for me,

It makes me feel alive.

Because it is your friendship’s light,

Upon which my love thrives.

Thank you isn’t good enough,

But they’re the only words I know.

It is your light of friendship,

That gives my world it’s glow.
