You Are Free To Go

The pain of lost love cuts me deep,
It was not shy and didn't hold back,
It took what I wanted to always keep,
The harshest pain it did not lack.

I truly want for you the best,
I know that I am not the one,
I swore that I would never rest,
Until my chance with you was done.

It seems that day is finally here,
So love that one that's on your mind,
While I sit back and always fear,
A love like mine you will not find.

I guess this is where we must part,
To let you love and live your life,
To give another guy your heart,
Because I will never call you wife.

Sad to say I've set you free,
All I ask is my heart back,
I'm not a part of your destiny,
A part of me your life must lack.

So I must leave without your love,
And you my love will never know,
That I was sent down from above,
My love to you to always show.

Missing You Endlessly

Our lives were headed to perfection,
Our souls were bound at every seam,
With so much love and affection,
But it was merely just a dream.

I woke up daily with a smile,
Then I'd softly kiss your cheek,
Feeling lucky all the while,
Not able to wait until next week.

Now I wake up all by myself,
Grasping the pillow as if it were you,
I see your picture on the shelf,
Hoping you being gone isn’t true.

Wrong again you are not here,
I close my eyes and start to pray,
Involuntarily shedding a tear,
I miss you is all that I can say.

Why does this pain hurt so bad,
Why can’t you just be right here,
Without you I am always sad,
Please come back and wipe my tear.

You don’t have to love or even want me,
Don’t even look into my eyes,
Your face I simply want to see,
Because for you my heart still cries.

I am living life so helplessly,
I feel like I am all alone,
I have been missing you endlessly,
It has finally hit me you are gone.

More Thoughts Of You And I

My life was changed when I met you,
Just by looking into your eyes,
You had the glow of love so true,
A love that no one ever denies.


The truth that I am falling fast,
Scares me some but I don’t care,
I fear our love will never last,
But to stop would only cause a tear.


You have a heart so kind and loving,
That makes me want to fall the more,
With you I have no problem trusting,
That you will not walk out the door.


Our love is rare and hard to find,
Our love is growing deep inside,
Thoughts of you just flood my mind,
Thoughts of you I cannot hide.


I hope our love will be enough,
To bring us through the trying years,
Because at times it will be tough,
Certainly we will shed some tears.


Hold my heart with loving care,
Don’t let it fall and break apart,
And I promise to make sure,
I do the same with your fragile heart.

Wings Of Love

I just can't help but to know,
That we may be rushing things,
Everyone says we must move slow,
But loving you gives me wings.

With you I feel like I can fly,
That’s how much you lift me up,
And I promise to always try,
To make my love be enough.

You say my love cuts you deep,
I give you chills up and down,
It was easy for you to leap,
And you never hit the ground.

I caught you in my loving arms,
I hold you tight and won’t let go,
I keep you with my loving charm,
And that is always good to know.

Thank you for the love you give,
For these wings that make me fly,
For the love you willingly give,
A love that I could never buy.

And hope that I can in return,
Love you with a love like yours,
Cause you make my heart just yearn,
To make our minutes turn to hours.

You're Still The One

Just when I think that I have lost,
I realize that our love’s not done,
And no matter what the cost,
Only you can be the one.

Times get hard and we fight,
Times are good and we love,
To lose you now would not be right,
You’re my angel from above.

You saved me from a lonely life,
You came and rescued my broken soul,
That is why you are my wife,
The other piece to make me whole.

Through the years we grew apart,
But we always came back home,
Cause we both share one heart,
And we have never been alone.

To think you aren’t the one for me,
Would only hurt our love the more,
The blindest man could easily see,
You’re the one that I’m made for.

Your love always brought me through,
So don’t think that our love is done,
And no matter what you may do,
Just remember you’re still the one.

Waiting For You

Sometimes you can't help but to think,
That one you want is far away,
But then you know from just one wink,
That one you want is here to stay.


They give you chills with just one touch,
They kiss as though they always know,
They give your heart that pounding rush,
That you’re trying not to show.


You try to guard your healing heart,
But you can’t help but to let go,
You somehow know that from the start,
Love to you they’ll always show.


They have that essence of love so pure,
Cause they too have been broken,
You know your hearts will soon be cured,
The moment I Love You is softly spoken.


It may not be when you hope it is,
But it will come soon enough,
Cause what you start you will finish,
Especially when it comes to love.


Hold them close and don’t regret,
Anything that you will do,
Because one day I will bet,
You will tell them I love you.

If Only Thoughts Were Reality

I thought you were the perfect one,
That could always please my bitter heart,
But those thoughts are now long gone,
Because of you I want no part.

You came across as loving and kind,
And I started falling hard and fast,
But God I must have been so blind,
Cause happiness with you would never last.

To see you put yourself first place,
May not be wrong but there’s a time,
When a man just needs that space,
And that place with you I cannot find.

I was there to listen when you were mad,
I told you everything would be okay,
And now what makes me feel so sad,
Is that “fuck you” is all that you could say.

I held you at night when you felt alone,
I kissed your hand and made you laugh,
What else could I have possibly done,
To make bad times leave that fast.

I guess it’s simple and easy to know,
That I can’t take a chance with you,
Cause if disrespect you want to show,
It’s plain and simple we are through.

Held Captive By Your Love

When I look back on what we had,
Every time I hold someone new,
Happy moments just turn sad,
Because I'm not holding you.

The love I held in my heart,
Is still holding on too strong,
I want to give my every part,
Or else our love will be all wrong.

When I see her smile it's not you,
When she laughs you're all I hear,
When she asks if I've been true,
I turn my head and shed a tear.

It doesn't take physical action,
To test the trust of who you love,
Sometimes just a mental distraction,
May not be worse but it's enough.

It's been so long since we loved,
But still you're in my every prayer,
And though I act like I am tough,
I always wish that you were here.

Cause it's not fair to her at all,
Set me free and let me live,
Set me free to jump and fall,
Take your love that holds me captive.

Wrapped In Your Love

As the moments pass me by,
Laying here wrapped in your love,
I have to wonder how and why,
Our love will ever be enough.

They say love finds when it's not sought,
And I can't help but to agree,
Because I would have never thought,
You would find your love in me.

Having these thoughts after just one night,
I know you'll think I'm not all there,
But I speak my mind even in spite,
Because of rejection I have no fear.

Some will think we lost our mind,
Don't let them push us far apart,
Cause with you I seem to find,
The soft side of my bitter heart.

So when love speaks always listen,
And never forget the beautiful sight,
How with love eyes will glisten,
And how our love will burn all night.

So as these moments pass us by,
Laying here in each other's love,
Be sure to know just how and why,
Our love is always forever enough.

The Deepest Love

The deepest love that one could know,
Is the kind that tugs at your heart,
The deepest love that one could show,
Is the kind you give in every part.

Not afraid what one would say,
Whether it be good or bad,
But rather showing in every way,
Happiness for the times you’ve had.

I always gave this love to you,
Without a question or a fear,
I always thought our love just grew,
With every minute we would share.

You always took my breath away,
When I felt you touch my hand,
In such a way that one might say,
You and I were forever planned.

Just the thought of losing you,
Would wipe a smile off my face,
Cause I don’t know what I would do,
If from my life you were erased.

So let’s keep our love going strong,
Overcoming every fear and doubt,
Cause with you is where I belong,
Because you're what I’m all about.

Looking For Someone

Sometimes you have to take a chance,
Just close your eyes and take that leap,
To see if there will be some romance,
That you will both forever keep.

People won’t approve of the fact,
That one may be rich the other poor,
But when you finally make life’s pact,
They will know who you’re made for.

Little things will not matter in life,
But rather the heart that’s deep inside,
Because when a man looks for a wife,
He needs someone that he can confide.

Someone to tell all his lost little secrets,
Or even the obvious facts of himself,
Even the mistakes and all the regrets,
And even a little more about yourself.

This describes one’s very best friend,
And yes that’s what I meant to be said,
So don’t go for one with money to lend,
But go for one with a heart instead.

Because when rough times come along,
You cannot always buy your way out,
Sometimes you just have to sing a song,
To know what happiness is all about.

My Thoughts Of You And I

Every morning I wake with a smile,
Knowing that I will hear your voice,
As the day passes I think all the while,
I am glad that I made you my choice.

To have you a part of my every day,
To captivate my thoughts and prayers,
Thinking that we will find a way,
To make you and I go on for years.

Since we met I’ve only been happy,
My eyes get soft when I see your face,
Every thought seems to turn sappy,
Not a memory of you would I ever erase.

You have that way of making me glow,
I could light up the darkest place,
And I hope this smile will always show,
You make me float with such grace.

If there’s such a thing as cloud nine,
I am sure I am there right now,
If I never leave here that’d fine,
Because I am living a life of wow.

Thanks for making me feel this way,
I feel like I am the luckiest,
For once things are good and okay,
In you I found the very best.

Reassurance Of Love

Life is the road one must go down,
To find the person they really are,
And when that person is finally found,
You can wish on the brightest star.

Wish one day that you will find,
One who captures your every thought,
And makes you leave past love behind,
To keep this love you've always sought.

Sometimes it's obvious and crystal clear,
The one that you will grow to love,
At other times there is the fear,
That person's not meant from above.

Still at times one must be strong,
To always know there is one's fate,
To bring the one for which you'll long,
So patiently live your life and wait.

But don't lose your faith or close an eye,
For that may be the very instant,
That true love will pass you by,
And make the hope of love more distant.

So always keep an open mind,
And never have a fear or doubt,
Because one day you're sure to find,
Exactly what true love's about.

The Story Behind You and I

To The One I Love,

In you I found a forever friend,
That I could have never bought,
Your love no one will ever bend,
The kind that is only dreamed about.

You’re there whenever I start to cry,
To help me through life’s tough times,
And I will never ever know why,
You were my partner in all my crimes.

The crazy stories that we could tell,
Would certainly perk everyone’s ears,
Cause we always seemed to raise hell,
And be the cause of our parents tears.

To teach us discipline was an endless task,
But life’s hard lessons did it best,
Better than parents could ever ask,
Our foolish pride is laid to rest.

Now we’re grown and falling hard,
We talk about family things,
Like a house and big back yard,
And kids playing on the swings.

Ten years ago we’d never guessed,
That this is where we’d be now,
Cause of all my friends you were the best,
Now all I can say is simply…wow.

They say you must first be friends,
Before you can love with all your heart,
Cause you will have to make amends,
When your love starts to fall apart.

I think we’ve accomplished that already,
We’ve fought and made up before,
Now here we are going steady,
Instead of robbing the general store.

In our hearts we’re still just kids,
Having fun and playing pranks,
Unscrewing each other’s salt shaker lids,
Pretending we’re pirates walking planks.

It’s this innocent love that lets us live,
Always smiling and laughing hard,
These memories I want to one day give,
To the kids that’ll be in our back yard.

To be young again and start all over,
I don’t think I’d change a thing,
I’d still like playing red rover,
And giving underdogs on the swing.

You know what always make me tick,
And all the crazy foods I like,
No one else I’d ever pick,
Because you threw me my first strike.

Looking back on us growing together,
It is so easy for me to know,
That you and I spells forever,
So let’s put on another show.

Our parents will again shed tears,
But not from sadness madness or worry,
They watched us fall over the years,
And know our love’s not in a hurry.

We are best friends and will always be,
No one will ever tear us apart,
Cause the love that sets us free,
We help hold in each other’s heart.

I am forever yours my love.

The Night That Changed Everything

One night I was walking through town when I came across a little boy. The smile on his face was radiant and lit up the night. The twinkle in his eye sent out a glow that could melt anyone's heart. It was a twinkle of the absolute joy for everything in his life and everyone in his life. He never said a word, just looked at me and smiled. A smile that looked like it was a natural part of his face. A smile that you would think was painted on his face...it was so perfect. It was then that I realized that a young innocent love is perhaps the best love ever. It may not be a true love as if he was in love, but just simply appreciated the fact that there was someone in his life that made him feel alive. I just looked at the little boy and realized how much I have to be thankful for...that little boy I saw when I looked at my reflection in the window of the antique store on the corner of Calumet and Broadway in the small town of Chesterton.

Our Son

To The One I Love,

Our son is growing fast,
He has his mother’s spirit,
And not a day has passed,
That I have held one regret.

Our love has only grown,
And now he is a part,
Of the love that’s always shown,
And held deep inside my heart.

My love for the both of you,
Cannot be measured in this life,
God is the only one that knew,
You would be my lifelong wife.

He gave us this amazing child,
To raise and teach and love,
Even though we once were wild,
Our son is a gift from above.

I can see the love in your eyes,
As you hold him against your chest,
And wipe his tears when he cries,
And tell him he is simply the best.

A mother’s love is the greatest thing,
That God has given to mankind,
A mother’s voice can always sing,
A song to help our son unwind.

We tuck him into bed at night,
And say with him a simple prayer,
That we will always raise him right,
And make it through another year.

The years will quickly pass us by,
And soon our son will be grown,
And may he never question why,
So much love to him was shown.

I am forever yours my love.

Thoughts At Night

To The One I Love,

Nights are not sleepless,
From worries and fear,
Nights are now priceless,
Cause you are right here.

Laying here next to you,
Feeling your soft skin,
Doing what I want to,
And it’s not even a sin.

Why do you love me,
This foolish little boy,
You set my heart free,
And it’s not even a ploy.

Your love lets me live,
With no worries or fear,
The happiness you give,
Is the reason for this tear.

I want to dream forever,
Next to you I’ll wake,
I will always endeavor,
Not to let our love shake.

An answer to my prayers,
You have come to be,
Over the next fifty years,
I want you to feel free.

Always free to be yourself,
Yourself in every part,
Don’t put our love up on a shelf,
But hold it dear to your heart.

So as I try to go to sleep,
And wrap you up in my arms,
Know that you I’ll always keep,
Safe from any and every harm.

I am forever yours my love.

Wedding Night

To The One I Love,

If time could stand still,
And there were wishes,
Every minute I would fill,
With your passionate kisses.

Just a simple soft touch,
And an eternal embrace,
Would give my heart a rush,
And bring a smile to my face.

Your eyes are fixed with mine,
The same thoughts in our heads,
Our arms are intertwined,
As we lay here in our bed.

Holding each other so close,
Not a thought of letting go,
Our love is what we chose,
Down eternity’s path we go.

Today we vowed to each other,
In sickness, health, wealth, poverty,
That we would not love another,
For our love is true prosperity.

We have had many smiles,
And even a lot more tears,
We have walked a lot of miles,
In just these past few years.

Time will quickly pass us by,
Memories will come and go,
Sometimes we’ll wonder why,
Our love doesn't even show.

That’s why if time stood still,
And there were wishes,
Every minute I would fill,
With your passionate kisses.

I am forever yours my love.

Our Lives

To The One I Love,

The future is a mystery,
The present is a fantasy,
The past is the history,
That makes our love ecstasy.

My dreams are the canvas,
My heartbeat is the brush,
My love none can surpass,
My spirit an endless hush.

Thoughts rush and flood my soul,
Thoughts that make me whole,
Thoughts of my lifelong goal,
Thoughts that my heart you stole.

My hand in yours is beauty,
My heart is yours completely,
My love for you comes naturally,
My soul is yours eternally.

I am forever yours my love!

The Proposal

To The One I Love,

If I could only say in words,
Just what you mean to me,
It would be as a flock of birds,
Singing sweetly in a tree.

I guess it's how you always know,
Just what and when to say,
That always helps to cheer my soul,
And bring along a brighter day.

So today's the day I'll pop the question,
Asking you if me you'll marry,
Knowing that with God's direction,
You and I were meant to be.

If you say "yes" I'll do all I can,
To make sure we stay together,
Walking each day as hand in hand,
And loving each other more each day.

But if you say "no" always remember,
My love for you is no less,
And my heart to you I'll always render,
Because you'll always be My Princess!

I am forever yours my love!

Letting Go

To The One I Love,

To think this day would come to pass,
Would only cause me pain and tears,
To think this love would never last,
Would be the sum of all fears.

Your loving touch and endless smile,
Has only brought me happiness,
So to make you walk another mile,
Would only be my selfishness.

So go my Dear and find that love,
That I thought only I could give,
Find that person meant from above,
And always remember just to live.

Live your life having no regrets,
Follow your heart and just let go,
So you can safely place all bets,
You will find the mate of your soul.

Life will throw it's twists and turns,
But also smiles, tears, and laughter,
Til one day your heart just yearns,
To love to laugh and live forever.

If true love should one day find you,
Hold on tight and never let go,
For this blessing is far overdue,
To you my Dear as I let you go.

So go my Dear and find that love,
That I thought only I could give,
Find that person meant from above,
And always remember just to live.

And if one day we meet again,
Or if my heart you can’t let go,
Know right here is where I've been,
Waiting for the mate of my soul.

I am forever yours my love
