I Wrote This One For You (Part 5)

Ok, I'll admit, that I lied

It is you in which I still confide

If I try to pretend that it's not

Then I lie, again, another day

Gone away

So now you know

But I don't know

Please tell me what it is that we should do now



So I read the poem again

Found all the hidden messages within

Cried inside

For a piece of me that died

When you went away, it will never be healed again



Then I looked at the book

Full of pictures of you

I look at your painting every day

Amber-Christiny sits atop all the poems that you wrote

Before you deleted them away



I have all of these things

All around my room

I put them there just to remind me of you

All the time that we spent

Hand in hand and without regret

I can't wait to get pulled over in downtown Wichita again



Everytime that I ride in the van

I think of you and all the memories we made

Hyde park, empty streets

A busy Zoo and you and me

Everything that made me smile every day



Tenessee and your room

Playing cards while knowing we must get up soon

I want you to know that I played

I played my drums just for you

I wanted you to be impressed

Although I know it wasn't needed anyway



I still looked around

I tried to find a small sight of you

But I never got to see you smiling there



My camera caught your sight that night

I looked for hours after I got home

I caught sight of your back

Dirty blond hair I have always loved

I looked at you and saw you sitting there



Colorado would have been better had you been there

Or Tenessee if you never said Goodbye...

I cried for hours after that night

I hid the tears as the bus went driving away





So I guess I could say

We've had our up's

Had our down's

We've had many emotions similar to share

Like missing you

Missing me

Talking on the phone until we fell asleep

I wished it were face to face, but I could always picture you laying there





Butterfly Effect had a great effect indeed

When I was with you, it made me bleed

Time to leave, I wanted to stay

A tear in the corner of my eye I brushed away

I wanted nothing but to kiss you goodnight



So here we are, back again

The the beginning we start again

Shy away, be confused

But know I have only changed one way



I've grown up, made up my mind

I have my life, I'm doing fine

Everything I want, is what I have

Except for you aren't very happy

I've always wented the best for all my friends



So when you cry, call me up

I promise not to make you stop

I'll just sympathise and listen to your life

I want to know if it is better without me?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Part 5...that's a lot, but there is much more I am sure.  More stories to be told, more confessions, more friendships and change and transitions.  I just want you to know that everythign that you think about, I think about too...and probably more often since I have your stuff everywhere to remind me.  You were one of the few I gave my heart to, and I want you to know that I appreciated all the memories we made.  What's your take on it?
