Miles are Between Us

Miles are between us
Call you up and your voice mail comes up
and tell you to call whenever good for
and keep my phone by my side
Miles are between us
Our schedules are opposite
from each other
and I hate to think
that this is what lies ahead of us
Miles are between us

Miles are between us
I miss you
and curse at our timing
you call when I'm the phone with someone else
and just want to hang up on them
so we can talk.
Miles are between us
Then i try to call you once I finish 
but of course there is no answer
Miles are between us
We are miles a part.

Yeah I know I'm here starting a new
but phone tag sucks
and I cant get a hold of another friend
I just feel all a lone
and start to question
what was I thinking being so far from all I know
Miles are between us

Miles are between us
I know one day we see each other again
and that we will be in each other lives
even maybe in small parts now
Miles are  between us

Miles are between us 
everything seems a little bit colder
and the world seems not to understand
Miles are between us

Just know those miles wont stop me
if you ever needed me in any shape or form
Miles are between us
yeah I miss ya
love ya
and always be safe
Miles are between us

Miles are between us
But you  are close to my heart
and those miles don't seem so far anymore
Miles are between us
closer to each other
cause we keep each other
in our hearts.............

Trying to Hold All These Tears

Trying to hold all these tears
Holding a strong fake face
Smiling instead of crying
Laughing to hide the sound
of my heart breaking.
keeping my thoughts to myself
acting without a care in the world.

Trying to hold all these tears
knowing this is only part of the beginning
and these are the best years
ahead of me.
This will pass in due time
and know that it will get easier has time
goes by.

Trying to hold all these tears
believing that everything will be okay.
So I'm holding on
and not going to let go.

So I'm going to smile every chance I get
Laugh the world away
and treat every talk like its the last
maybe let the world know whats going on in my head.

Trying to hold all these tears
Holding a strong fake face
Smiling instead of crying
Laughing to hide the sound
of my heart breaking.
keeping my thoughts to myself
acting without a care in the world.

But Ill always have the care in the world
in my heart
all you have to is just look
and you will see the heart that lies inside..

Facing the Door

The door is starring me in the face
the steps are behind me
I hear the cheer of those I know
telling me to open that door
that they will be right behind me.

I couldn't tell you the number of steps I have taken
only cause it doesn't matter.
What matters is the people that allow me to take those steps
and gave me reason to keep climbing.
The door is starring me in the face
my hand is shaking has it moves close to the handle.

My head says go ahead open the door
come on
lets do this.
Don't worry everyone is right behind you
even some beside you
all you have to do is open the door.
My heart says Oh My God
this is happening
this is real
why are we so far from everyone
we are going to fail them
and we are alone.
This is a sadness that we cant handle
and yet theres a cheer that we can.

The door is starring me in the face
it is haunting and threating
 not knowing what lies beside it
and I just hope that those have my back
will still be there once I open it.

I just know that I can take it not by myself
but with the help of others.
They are my cheat sheet to life
and is thankful everyday for them .

The door is starring me in the face
and my hand is shaking uncontrollably.
 But then other hands joy my hand steady it
and together we turn the handle
and together we push the door.
Together we take the world by storm
Together we will shelter
lean on each other.

Together we open the door to the world.....

My Bags Are All Packed

My bags are all packed
and I'm leaving even though I don't want to
but I know this is apart of life.
They say I'll do fine
that I have nothing to worry about.
I'm leaving but Ill come back to visit old faces
that now I will have to leave behind
but know they are always with me.

So I put on a smile when I'm ask are you excited
and I just say yeah its college! and laugh.
But inside I hear the start of the break
and don't dare say the word that would
put me in pieces
I'm leaving but Ill come back to visit old faces 
that would one day meet new faces
that cross my path.

My bags are packed
wishing I had more time
to get together with some
cause I know it will be awhile
when we will see each other again.
Good thing theres computers, phones and things
but its just not the same.
I'm leaving
its something I have to do.

So if you ever get lonely or sad
remember a joke I told you and you will smile and laugh
or just call me up
cause you know Ill answer for you.
Keep me in your thoughts from time to time
and know you will cross my mind every once and in awhile.

My bags are all packed
and I all ready miss you
and feel that not everything was said
and then laugh cause we know what
each other are thinking.

My bags are all packed
and I'm leaving even though I don't want to
but I know this is apart of life.
They say I'll do fine
that I have nothing to worry about.
I'm leaving but Ill come back to visit old faces
that now I will have to leave behind
but know they are always with me.

My bags  are all packed
and I all ready miss you
 so you better stay in touch
I know we will miss each other at times
cause time is never on our side.

My bags are all packed
and I'm fighting back the tears
with fake smiles and laughter
trying not to fall apart.

My bags are all packed
I hope you know this is not the last of me
and that I'm thankful
for our time and know
theres no way we are done
cause I'm taking another step in life.
But this time I have you by my side
I know your words are true
my bags are all packed
and I'm gonna proved your words
my bags are all packed
so is my heart
my bags are all packed
so is my head
my bags are all packed
and Ill take this world by storm

My bags are all packed
to leave and soon
they will be pack again
to visit old faces 
and Ill be stubborn and determine
to make sure we have time.

My bags are all packed....
and a new chapter begins................

Your Teenage Soldier

You see a teenager
a bag over her shoulder
and a hood covering her face
and see walks quiet blending in the walls.
She walks in the cracks and bolts
before anyone can grab her
before anyone notices her.

She isn't wanted by the world
She didn't do any crime
she just walks away
and tries to blend
knowing theres no place for her.

She goes in a door
and ask why shes there and she tells them
that she would like to be of some use
and theres no better use than this.
They take her through the process
and ask her god forbid anything happen
who should we tell and she stares for awhile to think
and gives him a piece of paper with some names
and he says okay follow me.

Weeks go by and so days seem longer than others
Some get letters and pictures from friends and family
while she goes out to run
no letters come for her.
She trains and keeps moving forward
moving through the ranks
and before she know it 
she is captain of her troops.

They tell her its time to go
and she smiles and without words she goes to pack her bags.
Its in the middle of the night
she climbs aboard the plane.
But her general  tells her you cant get on the plane
as a captain but as a  lieutenant genereal and she stares at him it tells her
its okay to smile
and she does.

Three years later
you see her
and you wonder where she has been over the years
She doesn't tell you and she tells you
that to her you matter but now I have to go back.
I cant sit here while our boys are still there
and she hugs you and walks away.
You look back on her
and wonder and then it hits you
you run after her and say
why didn't you tell us? Please don't go
and she smiles with a tear in her eye ans says
I didn't want you to worry or think what might happen
and I have to, i promise i will come with my shield
tell the others I love them.
She hugs you again and you start to cry
and refuse to let go
She tells you Ill be okay look here's the way you get a hold of me
and hands over a piece of paper and lets go.

A month later
you just got off the phone with her
and moments later the news come on
and your heart stops
soldiers are dead, there were do many to count
so many dead.
You prayer that she isn't one of those and
get on the phone to find out
and they tell you they don't know yet.
You call up those that knew her
because you are scared and tell them to come over the next day
and they all agree not knowing what will happen.

The next day come and your friends come over
But then a vechile drives up and a man in uniform comes out of the car
all your hearts start to break and tears  start to run.
The door bell rings and of you answer it
he asks to come in with a sad look on his face
and sits where everyone is at
and saids she was the youngest in her rank
and did her country proud.
I remember when she first walked in those doors
and barely said a word and she gave me this list here
all your names are here.
It brings me to great sadness that she gave all
and her country will miss her has the solider and has the person
she was, we will remember her.
Know that no solider can ever match what she was
I can't imagine how great she was in your eyes
and wish I got to see her like you all did.

You see a teenager
and you see her about the same age
fighting for her country
and you let out a tear
and look up.
You whisper thank you
and that I love you
I hope you can hear me.
The wind pass you by through her papers
her story she last wrote
to the page that reads I'm always here and
never forget I love you
I love you all..

When We Miss Someone

When we miss someone we think about everything they did
the way they smile
the way they laugh
the way they they cried
everything.
Its funny and sad at the same time
because we never really look at those things
of a person when they are standing right next to us.
But when they are as far away as possible from us
all the little things come to our mind
and its never the mistakes they may have made
or the things they did wrong that stick out.
But its what they learn from those mistakes
and its all the right they did.

When we miss someone
we think about how they made us laugh
and the jokes that were shared
even how they pick up you when you were down.
We think about the way they carried themselves
the way they brightened up ones day.
Sometimes it hurts but then we
are grateful that we have those memories.

Even wonder what they might be doing right now
if they were still standing with us
and think what they might say to us
if we ask them.
We have no luck trying to figure out
why they left the way they did
we just have live with that fact
and hopefully find a reason.
It might not come so clear in the being
or maybe never.

When we miss someone we think about everything they did
the way they smiled
the way they laughed
the way they cried
everything.

We think about everything
even if that person was in our lives for a short time
or in our lives for a long time
or in those small moments
or in those defining moments
the important part is that
they were there and
always forever stay with us.


So with all this in mind think about those people and tell them
what they have done for you by just breathing,
I know it sounds crazy but hearing that and saying that
may mean a lot to both of you
cause then no matter what each day brings
all the words are said
in case they leave without notice.

I can't promise you
that there wouldn't be any tears
or any angey words.
I can't promise that
I'll do normal things
or say normal words
and my aactions
are as far from normal as
they can be.

I can promise you
that there will be
some laughs and smiles.
I can promise that
I'm as unigue as
a mutant
and my words are hard
to understand but if you
are lucky enough you'll
learn to understand them
and you'll be able to hear
them carefully.

I can promise that
my actions will speak
louder than any word
and they are done in
a way thar you can't
imgine.

I hope you'll be able
to understand the
way I see the world.
But I know you will never
see what I see
through my eyes.

I can't promise it
will never rain
and there will be no thunderstroms.
But I can promise that I'll
dance in the rain
with you
and find shelter in the
thunderstorm with you.

I can promise you
that I'll act kinda silly
at times
and that I won't be able
to held a serious face.
I can promise you
that the things I do
can never be copy 
because pf how i do them.

I can promise that
I come with a little bad
and a little good
I can be an angel
I can be the devil.

I can't promise you
how the day will
go but I can promise
that somehow Ill be there
in whatever form.

I can't always promise you
no rain
I can always promise
that the clouds will come
and so will the sun.
I can promise
that I hate being normal
and am so unique
cause as I hate to attempt
it that I maybe an
angel at times
a devil at times
even a werewolf or
vampire at times
thst I am human at time.

Song for Cap & Peggy

I know what I must do
I have to put this plane
in the water
and your voice comes on
the radio
you are on the other end.

You always saw the faith
and always believe in me
when others didn't
and you knew I would
always do the right thing.
You never hold me back
you always push me forward.

Our time is now limited
I put your picture
next to me
you tell me I better not be
late to dance with you.
I can see the ice cold water now
I tell you I still don't know
how to dance and tell me you'll
teach me.
I start to say something
but before I can finish
I hit the water...

I call your name
you don't answer
tears start running down
my face.
All I get is static
and my heart breaks
cause you were my partner.

People are celebrating
the war is over
and I look at the clock
and I'm mourning knowing
I will never dance with you
pr see you again.

You gave yourself
to the world
and I think about
the man you became
and the boy I fell
in love with.

I woke up
things have change
all around me.
I'm in a different
time period
and all I know is that
I'm late for our date.
Please forgive me
you're the first thing
on my mind.

I think about the
woman that push me
and always had faith in me
and about my perfect dance partner
that I fell
in love with.

The boy from Brooklyn
the girl in uniform
His bravely
Her beauty
If you can hear me
If you can hear me
I love you..
I love you.. 

Do We Truly Have Enough Time?

Can we truly have enough time with those we care about?

You tell me we've spent
enough time together and
I just smile cause I don't believe you.
Can you really tell me what enough is?
How can you measure time
like that?
Please tell me
what enough is
so I don't go over that limit.

I've learn that we never
have enough time
with those we care about.
So I treasure each moment
cause I never know
when it will be the last moment
with that person,

Can you really put a time limit with
a person?
Is it seconds, minutes, hours, days,
weeks, months, or years?
We always wish that
we had more time
when we live pass that
last moment.

So call me crazy
for taking so many
pictures. But you ll be saying
I wish I had pictures
that weren't just in my head
and you werent crazy
cause you knew how to
treasure each
and every moment as if they
were the last.

So we never truly
have enough time
with those that we care about.
So learn to treasure
those moments
and be grateful for
those little moments and inside jokes
that you share with
and every chance you
get tell them that you love them and
how grateful you are
that you were lucky
to cross in their life.
those you care about

She's Not in My Arms

She's on my heart
on my mind
wondering what she's doing now
all I know she's not in my arms.
I wonder if she found a family
a place to call home
or if she's still in a
temporary home
waiting to be love.
All I know she's not in my arms.

She's on my heart
on my mind
wondering if she can hear me now
I would tell her
I will find her even if it
takes me to the end of the world
that I love her
and soon she will be safe
wrapped in my arms.
I wonder if she already found someone else and if
she will ever remember while I
keep a place for her in my heart.

She's on my heart
on my mind
wondering what she's doing now
all I known she's not in my arms .
I wonder how she's living life
without me by her side
all I know she's not in my arms
I wonder if she found a family
a place to call home
or if she's still in a
temporary home
waiting to be love
all I know she's not in my arms.

She's on my heart
on my mind
wondering if she can hear me now
I would tell her
I will find her even if it
takes me to the end of the world
that I love her
and soon she will be safe wrapped in my arms.

She's on my heart
on my mind
wondering what she's doing now
what hurts me the most
is all I know
she's not in my arms
safe and sound
no not in my arms
but I love her
she's on my heart
on my mind...
