If I were you I'd promise to live life for all it's worth, take all you've been given and leave your mark upon this Earth. Trust your heart to show you everything you need...and if you were you, I'd fall in love with me. -unknown


fear not, for I am with you;


be not dismayed, for I am your God;

I will strengthen you, I will help you,


I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
(Isaiah 41:10 ESV)


I shed a tear when I think of all you’ll miss,
my first love, even my first kiss,
the first time I get a broken heart

I know I wasn’t the best that I should have been,
I didn’t tell you all that I was feeling,
well it’s a little late now
But you should know

That I still cry, sometimes when i think of you,
and i don’t know why, that i wont let no one see,
exactly how much pain its causing me,
and i don’t know, if what I’m doing is exactly moving on,
i don’t know why, why i have to be so strong

I sat right there with you and held your hand,
I told you we would see each other again,
it wasn’t forever good buy

You were half way gone when I confessed to you,
all my wrongs and how I loved you
I woke up and you had left that night
But you should know

That I still cry, sometimes when i think of you,
and i don’t know why, that i wont let no one see,
exactly how much pain its causing me,
and i don’t know, if what I’m doing is exactly moving on,
i don’t know why, why i have to be so strong

I don’t think you even heard me
And now here I am down on my knees,
crying ‘cause I know your not coming back
So here I pry, to let you know

That I still cry, sometimes when i think of you,
and i don’t know why, that i wont let no one see,
exactly how much pain its causing me,
and i don’t know, if what I’m doing is exactly moving on,
I don’t know why, why i have to be so strong

I wrote this song in dedication to my Grandmother who recently past away...I miss her very much, more then I let anyone know, so i wrote this song to express that.

I really love your poem, So Strong. Rhyming isen't completely on-key but the basis is very touching. Simply stunning.
