Somewhere between
hello and goodbye
a whole life happened.
And now, I am left to wonder
As we sit here in silence, no longer husband and wife
I can't forget the vow I made to love you all my life...
Our last walk down memory lane fills my eyes with tears
As I find us walking hand in hand in our high school years.
God loves you. You are one of his greatest assets. People may leave, but not God. Your family will return and you’ll live the happiest life. You and your family are in our prayers, John.
You passed my life
Soft, gentle, and unpredictable
Like a floating cloud
In our one short year together,
A love's grown deep within my heart
For such a certain someone,
Too soon for us to part.
So maybe I'm in love with you
Maybe you're everything I know that's true
But what does that matter if you hold her
For far too long
I've been a prisoner,
Held captive by your beauty,
That I've never been strong enough
The smell of smoke and alcohol
And poker in the back room
Ice clinking in a glass
And the lure of cheap perfume
