Things That The Love Of My Life Wrote For Me

Jan 3. (we were not together yet, just best friends)

The road turned into a snake
And looked in my veins and said
It's in your blood
That’s when I tried to run
But it was way too dark
I got scared and ran into your arms

oh sweet chemical predicament
i can't stop, can't change the evident
predisposed to forget the best part
a story where the hero dies without regard
made sure that the needle was clean when i let myself fall asleep
and all i kept was a piece of your picture
it slipped from her fingers when i slid into my dreams

It's not as deep as it seems
And unfair as it may be
I'm just here to remind you
Remind you not to forget to remember me

i know you know how it feels to make a clean break
my bones are your bones
my home is your home
you must be so confused
i got scared and ran away from you
oh sweet divine predicament
i can't hide i can't change the evident

We disposed the trusted photograph
To portray the way you used to laugh
Do you recall and do you wed
Such a radiant pride
You couldn't wait to see your first born take his very first steps
And you smiled at him cause you thought he looked like me

it's not as deep as it seems
and unfair as it may be
i'm just here to remind you
remind you not to forget to remember me

now i've died, you question so much
i don't possess the strength to answer straight
and no, i'm not afraid, at least not to die
i'm afraid to live and not remember why
sweet chemical indifference
i can't stop, can't change the evident

predisposed to perpetual sickness
i refuse to let you all be witness
make sure the needle is clean when you let me go back to sleep
and situate the piece of her picture underneath my fingers
it protects me in my dreams

it's not as deep as it seems
and unfair as it may be
i'm just here to remind you
remind you not to forget to remember me

Jan 4 (we were not together yet, just best friends)

My lost heaven has been turned upside down
Dead and buried is the joy which I once found
My lost heaven has sought refuge down below
Ain't no ocean I wouldn't cross or anywhere I wouldn't go

As I walk this world, tired and alone
Got one foot in the grave, Lord, help me make it home
I'll carry your pain, my words bleed straight and true
If it leads me to you

My lost heaven as long as the rotted day
Strength through blood
Battle the flood which bears my name
Dead and buried, for the end has run its course
Dogs of war return never to be lost

As I walk this world, tired and alone
Got one foot in the grave, Lord, help me make it home
I'll carry your pain, my words bleed straight and true
If it leads me to you

As I walk this world, tired and alone
Got one foot in the grave, Lord, help me make it home
I'll carry your pain, my words bleed straight and true
If it leads me to you

Jan.4(we were not together yet, just best friends)

The wind felt like a frail storm
With the chimes still singing the summer's born
Say goodbye to the rest of the rain
We ran until there was no daylight
When the sun went down and day turned to night
The cities lights with such sustain

And there I stood
As if I could
Be the one to make things right

Oh, you got me running backwards and running forwards and
Oh, you got me lost inside your eyes with no way out
Where I get lost?
I got caught inside your arms
And even when things get rough
Baby you give me a different kind of love

The sea was calling when we started to walk
The moon came out and we began to talk
True stars come out at night
Me and you we were like stars
Like a movie with a screen do you know who we are?
Thank the moon for our spotlight

And there I stood
As if I could
Be the one to make things right

Oh, you got me running backwards and running forwards and
Oh, you got me lost inside your eyes with no way out
Where I get lost?
I got caught inside your arms
And even when things get rough
Baby you give me a different kind of love

Got me running backwards and running forwards
Got me lost inside your eyes
And there she was, just because she was made for the spotlight

Ah, you got me running backwards and running forwards and
Oh, you got me lost inside your eyes with no way out
Where I get lost?
I got caught inside your arms
And even when things get rough
Baby you give me a different kind of love

Oh, you got me running backwards and running forwards and
Oh, you got me lost inside your eyes with no way out
Where I get lost?
I got caught inside your arms
And even when things get rough
Baby you give me a different kind of love

Jan. 10(we were not together yet, just best friends)

Forever your eyes will hold the memory
I saw your heart as it overtook me
We tried so hard to understand and reason
But in the one moment I gave my heart away
The perfect breath where my mind lay beside me
And all I knew is what had overtaken me
With no explanation
I am comforted by my inability to understand
When I wake from this dream will you still be here?
Will your smile still open my heart
And leave me transparent?

Jan. 14(we were not together yet, just best friends)

Don't cry tonight, my love
You will not bleed alone
I will stand with you
I will stand with you
Don't cry tonight
I will stand with you
Been alone
Far too long
Time to return
You've been alone
For far too long
So long, return
You've been alone
For far too long
So long, return
Don't cry tonight
I will stand with you
You've been alone for far too long
So long, return
These wounds they will not last forever
You've been broken for so long
So long, return
Dead end becomes your second chance
You've been broken for so long
So long, return

Jan 14(we were not together yet, just best friends)

This is the last of all the last times [x2]
My dear, no more [x3]
Where's the comfort?, where's the end?

This is the last time
This is the last goodbye
You say that you're not sure
But I think you feel the same
Over and over we try to work this out
All this time all I wanted was you
All I want is you

Feb 1( we were together by now, since January 24)

You brought existence
To what I never thought could be
A world where eternity finds description
I followed a dream only to be left in reality
You reminded me of the unexplainable
And then reshaped me by your beauty
Knowing you has reinvented love in my heart
The perfection of loves' true existence
Experienced for the first time
I tried so hard to wake from this dream
But instead realized that I never fell asleep

Feb. 27
IT IS SAID THATLOVE IS A MANY SPLENDORED THING
THAT LOVE MAKES THE BIRDS SING WHEN THE SEASON TURNS TO SPRING
BUT LOVE HAS TO BE MORE THAN AN OLD CLICHE
IT HAS TO BE MORE THAN SOMETHING U SAY
LOVE IS THAT FEELINGWHEN UR FINGERS TOUCH MY FACE
WHEN U TOUCH UR LIPS TO MINE AND MY HEART BEGINS TO RACE
LOVE IS THE HUG WE GIVE WHEN U OR I BEGIN TO CRY
OR UR HAND ON MY SHOULDER WHEN THINGS BEGIN TO GO WRONG AND I WONDER WHY
LOVE IS THE SMILE U ALWAYS CARRY ON UR FACE
LOVE IS THE WARMTHTHATS FELT WHEN U WALK INTO A PLACE
LOVE IS WHAT I HOLD ON TO WHEN WE BREAK AWAY
YES, LOVE IS MORE THAN JUST SOMETHING U SAY
LOVE IS CARING FOR EACH OTHER WHEN WERE FELLING DOWN
LOVE CAN MAKE U LAUGH WHEN U ONCE WORE A FROWN
LOVE IS NOT BEING AFRAID TO SAY I LOVE U OUT LOUD
LOVE IS TWO PEOPLE JOINED TOGETHER TO BECOME ONE
YES, LOVE IS WAY MORE THAN JUST SOMETHING U SAY
AND FOREVER OUR LOVE WILL EVER STAY
