Love What You Have

Hard as it is for me not to love one,

It's so hard to not hold on.

But it can hurt so bad to fall out of love,

So I keep moving further from my home.



Longing for the road again,

Has kept me from being happy one more time.

Leaving my love, leaving my friends,

Wish a woman couldn't cry.



Knowing you will be missed by many,

Hurts more than most will know.



My little darling please come here,

I know there's no use to tell you why.

Just please don't shed any tears,

I can't stand to see you cry.



This isn't your fault, it's all my own

Please move on your way

For now I just need to be alone

And there's nothing more to say



Knowing you'll be missed by your friends

Hurts you more than most will know

Knowing you'll be missed by her

Hurts me so bad it's hard to fall in love



She was the only one I ever loved,

In the way you're supposed to.

Beleving maybe it was made in heaven,

But there's nothing I can do.



I've been longing for this road again,

It's something I can't live without.

But her love and all of my friends,

I can only wish them all the best now.



Knowing you'll be missed by your friends,

Hurts me more than they will know.

Knowing she'll miss me again,

Makes its harder to ever fall in love.



All I wish is for everyone to be happy,

In everything they ever do.

I want everyone to live a happy ending,

I want everyone to live their dreams through.



This road is calling me back again,

The feeling of freedom has my throat.

I know I will miss all of my friends,

All I will miss everything I love.



But all of my dreams are calling me back,

Would I be a fool to stay?

If I go is my good in the past,

But I can't have this any other way.



All I wish is for everyone to be happy,

In everything they ever do.

I want everyone to live a happy ending,

Love what you have, have what you love.

Live all you want, live your life true...







(there's so many words i've left unsaid to the people most important to me... i hope someday i will be able to tell them. there's one person who i've never been able to tell what i feel about them...i've tried, but it always comes out wrong, i don't know where we are going, but...forget all that...one last word is, my fear is my only courage...my hope is my only light...jesus is my only hope...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

i think this one is actually a poem...it's a song, but y'know i think it might serve good as a poem to i guess... its kind of free-formed, dealing with just whats going on in my life right now, and reflecting on my relationship with someone, and the way i am and how i'm living, and what i'm about to do... it was difficult to make good sense of it, so i wrote a song...
