Words

Words are something you can't take back. You can say I'm sorry, but not even that will take the pain away. It will be too late, as they were already spoken and already heard.

So many times we try to make amends after our angry words have been said. We all say "It's okay" then we pretend to forget the words that cut so deep. But deep down, we know that it's not really okay, at all. Years later, those painful words can still ring in our minds and tear at our hearts.

I have learned this lesson from you. You have taught me how painful such words can be and how they can torture a broken and lonely soul. You have showed me not to believe in others, as love shows weakness in oneself--not strength. When I was a little girl, you used to tell me you wanted to leave a lasting impression on me when I left home. You did.

You Again

I wondered when you would leave my mind--
When you would let me leave my memories behind.
I thought that was what I wanted
So that a new love I could then find.

Finally, I gave up trying as
I never could find someone new.
No matter who they were
They never could compare to you.

Once again, I found true love
Funny that it's not with someone new.
Again you are the only one
That can make my heart beat true.

Hand in hand and heart to heart
We can make our dreams come true.
Since we have a second shot at love
My heart once again belongs to you.
