The Gift Of Knowing You

There are gifts of many treasures
For both the young and old,
From the tiniest little trinkets
To great boxes filled with gold.

But, put them all together
And they could not stand in lieu,
Of the greatest gift of allThe gift of knowing you.

When your times are filled with troubles
Sadness, grief, or even doubt,
When all those things you planned on
Just aren't turning out.
Just turn and look behind you
From the place at which you stand,
And look for me through the shadows
And reach out for my hand.

I will lift from you your burden
And cry for you your tears,
Bear the pain of all your sorrows
Though it may be for a thousand years.
For in the end I would be happy
To have helped you start anew,
It's a small price to pay
For the gift of knowing you

Not another chance

Theres so much i want to say
But it all comes back to get away
You had your chances probably way to many
But when i needed a shoulder to lift me from the dark
You were out rollin high
It took me a while before i could say goodbye
You said it hurt you
Well i hurt for weeks
When i lay my head down to sleep
I wish i hadnt gotten in so deep

They said it wouldnt be easy and they were so right. Things are complicated not as easy as they used to be but i know i need to deal with it because thats the only way. Im focusing on my close friends and family and new boyfriend. I know that they will always have my best intrests at heart. Its ahrd to beleive how fast time is going by and it brings up the reality that in 3 years were gonna be on our own. So much pressure is being put on me right now and alot of it is probably put on by me but so many people expect so much from me that sometimes i feel like im gonna explode
