Special You, Josh

Never found anyone like you, 
So charming and so sweet. 
Wondering if it was true, 
That I would end up loving you. 
There aren't enough words to 
Explain how much I love you. 
You have brightened my life, 
And made it brand-new. 
Caring for you, like I have cared for no other, 
And I believe that we will, 
Always be there for one another. 
You have also brightened my path to the future. 
And it is hard to wait for that exciting day. 
I promise to stay, 
Be by you always, night and day.

Remembering The Time

I just sit and stare, 
And think of the good times we shared. 
Wanting to be held by you, 
Laying there thinking I love you. 
Feeling your lips against mine, 
A feeling that will never die. 
Seeing your smile that warmed my heart, 
It was only the start of a broken heart. 
Just wanting to be with you now, 
But I don't know how. 
You look right through me, 
I hope someday you will see, 
How much you mean to me. 
Seeing you with another girl, 
It makes my mind start to twirl. 
I start thinking about us again, 
I just wish my heart would only mend, 
But you are the only one who can, 
Take me back . . . again.

Friends Till The End

We have been friends for awhile now, 
Even though we have had our problems along the road somehow. 
You've been like a sister to me, And I really want you to see, 
How much you mean to me. 
You've been there for me when I needed you. 
And you always knew, 
That I would be there for you too. 
For knowing so long that we would always get along, 
And that our friendship would grow, oh, so strong. 
All of your miracles you have done for me, 
Really makes me see, 
How much of a true friend you are to me. 
Now leaving and saying good-bye, 
Really hurts and I start to cry, I will stand by you, 
And you and I will be friends forever . . . till the end of time.
