wishes

so many times have i looked into your eyes
and seen all i wish i could be
so many times have i seen your smiles
and wished they were smiles for me
so many times have i heard you laugh
and wished i had been there to see
but when you are close
i lose my faith
and wish to forever be free

MY LAST WORDS TO IIA FRIENDII

You told me not to
You said for me to call you if I needed help,
but what about you.
You made me talk about
my feelings,
my fears,
my anguish,
What about yours?
You made me face suicide head on,
but you d~dn't,
you gave in.
You got me mad enough to talk about it,
but what about you.
You made me promise not to.
You said "that everyone here loves you."
Well, love is a two way street.
You told me to be strong,
You told me it would pass soon, " just wait it out"
I've never known anyone like you before

And I don't think I'll ever meet anyone like you again.
