the wind blows in the trees

The wind blows in the trees
as we run and giggle
I tag her and she screams
and she laughs as if she'd been tickled
we're no older than five
she picks the crumpled fall leaves out of her hair
I had never felt so alive
as I did when she was there
we go to her house, drink apple juice and watch scooby-doo
and I knew at that moment that there was no were I would rather be
having fun, and we would never run out of things to do
there was never anyone that meant so much to me

The wind blows in the trees
and we sit on a blanket, our feet buried in the sand
as we just lay and stare out along the beach
I ask, she refuses, so I pick her up and carry her off dry land
she screams and she giggles, playfully smacking my back
it starts to sting but I pretend not to notice
as I throw her in the water and listen to her splash
she comes out of the water, and I lose focus
she smiles, then she tackles me, into the dark abyss
and although I cant see, I reach out and feel her soft skin
I knew then, that there wasnt a moment with her that I could stand to miss
I knew that this would be a moment where I would remember when

The wind blows in the trees
and I look around, no one in sight
I watch her scream and swat at a bee
and I watch, mesmerized at the way sunlight reflects off her hair
I knew then, that the time had come
my best friend now, my best friend forever
I was nervous, if she said no, I would have been anything but numb
but I could not stop myself, I knew I loved her
she cries and she smiles, "of course" she sais
she gives me a warm embrace, and I feel tears touch my neck
I should have known, but I could never guess
the way this girl could turn me into such a wreck

the wind blows in the trees
but I cant hear it through the shut window
your in bed, Im beside you and theres no were Id rather be
I cry, and wish you didnt hurt so
I do my part, Im there when you wake
I pat your hand, I do all the right things
You smile at me, but your half baked
I crack open the window, to listen as a bird sings
I turn around, and watch how the cancer eats you, and it finally ends
I smile for your sake, knowing that you have spread your wings and flown
I go home that night and drink, accepting the condolensces it lends
and I thank the Lord that your pain is done
I close my eyes, and its not the moments that we missed that I see
its those warms summer days that we would sit and listen, as the wind blew through the trees

Why I love you

I love you when I wake up and see the sun rise

I love you when it goes down, and the stars come out

I love you, even when I'm forced to accept your lies

I love you,even when you scream and shout

I love you, when we talk for hours, and run out of things to say

I love you, when I'm forced to accept that we can never really be together

I love you, more and more every day

I love you, because with every blow our love grows that much stronger

I love you, and I hate the circumstances that have almost crushed our love

I love you, even though most people tell me that it is a mistake

I love you, even though I know I don't say it enough

I love you, even when you tell me that you need a break

I love you, and the way your hands embrace me when I need you

I love you, when I need you and your not aware

I love you, and I don't think it matters what you do

I love you, when I want to kiss you but I will not dare

I love you, even though I can't help you right now

I love you, and you can tell because I'll always try to be there

I love you, and when it comes to loving another, I don't think I know how

I love you, even when I can do little more than stare

I love you, because you can never be replaced

I love you, because I know the pain I feel right now is neccesary

I love you, because I feel my best in your embrace

I love you, because I forgive you even when your not sorry

I love you, because I would sacrifice everything for your smile

I love you, because to protect you, I'd be willing to die

I love you, because to be one inch closer to you, I'd walk a mile

I love you, and you don't even have to try

I love you, for your triumphs, but for your failures just as much

I love you, because in my heart I believe you came into my life by fate

I love you, because nothing makes me feel more alive than your touch

I love you, most of all, because I'm willing to wait
