Trying to Remember

Sitting in my bedroom
Trying to remember -
Kindness, laughter
Sharing of thoughts
Listening, caring, loving -
Wondering what was becoming.
Sitting in my bedroom
Trying to remember -
Our friendship
Bearing a special place
Deep within my heart
Always there -
Never to depart
Sitting in my bedroom
Trying to remember -
Long nights together
Wanting to go on
Seemed to last forever
But too soon were gone.
Sitting in my bedroom
Trying to remember -
What we shared
The happy times
Longing to be together
Sitting in my bedroom
Trying to remember -
Why it ended
What went wrong
How could something so good
Suddenly be gone?
Sitting in my bedroom
Trying to remember.

Brown Eyes

Your brown eyes shine in the pale moonlight
Your smile takes away my worries and also my fright
When you look away I just have to stare
I love your features - your eyes, smile, and hair
When you came, I thought it was a dream
How could a guy be so nice?
None around here were like that, it seemed.
Now that you were here I had nothing left to fear
You would always be there for me, far or near
All I have to do is think of you
And the memory will make me have a happy day too
You are a great friend and a great guy
When I think of you, my heart starts to fly
It soars to a far off place
Where your memory takes up its space
I can still see your features -
Your brown eyes, your smile and your hair
I look upon your memory with love and care

Alex

My best friend was a puppy
A sweet delicate life
Full of love
Swimming and playing together
His wet tongue licking my feet
The essential love felt true
In the moments I will always recall.
The winter death leaves a void -
For eternity.

Summer Nights

Summer nights full of
Peace and happiness
Never ending starlight
Friendships that last forever
First kisses so sweet -
For once life is complete
With no worries in the world
Its like time is at a stand still -
Until the sunsets melt away
Into the fall and then winter nights
Why can't it be summer forever?
