July 13, 2005

A year ago I felt alive

I felt so loving

I felt so terribly warm inside

This year I drive

I drive for hours

Feeling alone

I am tired

Too exhausted to even know the date



Had I known the day I would have called you up

I would have asked you how you were doing

Had I had the energy

I would have driven down to you

Just to hug you

Just to see you

Just to remember this day with you



A year ago I felt a new feeling

A year ago today I think I fell in love

I had no idea of what I was doing

All that I knew is that you were sitting there



Beneith the twilight we walked

I felt so alive

This day I got 'home' late

Sat under a camp fire

Sang some songs, felt alive



I went off in thought

Then I caught myself

Thinking of you

Feeling alive

I walked to the darkness

Beneith the twilight

I looked straight up

Just to see the stars

I couldn't help but think of you

And of that night, and all we do...



July 13, 2005 and I don't feel so alive

You've got your new memories

I've got mine

We're on our own now...not doing fine

I feel a little left out

Maybe alone, it's been months since we talked on the phone

I need to hear you

Or feel your hug



This year I never saw a shooting star

Maybe my wishes and dreams never made it that far

I didn't almost hit a tree with my car...

July 13 felt so lonely without you, my shining star

Author's Notes/Comments: 

It almost makes me mad that I didn't even realize that day had simply passed me by...but I did think about her and look up in the sky that night
