All I Can't Say

There's so many words I can't say
when I look into your eyes.

Maybe you'll reject me
and shatter all my pride.

Each day my love grows stronger
but I won't let you know

There's way too much behind my smile
that i can never show.

I'd hold you for a lifetime
if you would take my hand.

I'd love you like no other
but you don't understand.

Every time I see you
you're holding on to her.

The pain cuts like a dagger
making wounds that never cure.

So I'll dream of us together--
of how good it could be.

And I will keep the secret love
you could have had with me.

With Honor

If I have to be your best friend
If that's all that i can get
Then I'll take the job with honor
I'll be the best one yet.
I'll offer you my shoulder
I'll show how I care
I'll be there when you need me
I'm not going anywhere.
If I have to be your best friend
The one who hears you cry
Then I'll take the job with honor
I'll take the job with pride.
My love for you is stronger
Than you will ever know
But for you to ever love me
I will have to let you go
You need time to find your purpose
You need time to sort your thoughts
But when the course has ended
And the face is finally run.
Remember it's your best friend
Who has loved you from day one.

-Erin Kelly

Someone Speical

There's someone special in my life
Who doesn't know I are
I wish I could let him Know it
But let it show, I wouldn't dare.

I don't want to even risk it
I don't want to even try
For if he knew I felt this way
I'd feel insecure and shy.

I never thought I'd feel this way
I never thought I'd care
There's something in that smile of his
That makes me stop and stare.

How can I feel if he likes me?
Will he ever look my way?
I'll keep my feelings hidden for now
And save them for another day.

Illusion

I though I saw you look at me,
I thought I saw you stare.
Do you know I think you're cute?
I like the look you bare.
Are my eyes deceiving me,
when I see you standing there?
Are you playing tricks on me,
just to prove I care?

Are you an illusion,
is it only my mind?
Do you look at me,
as I do you,
to see if you can find
a little bit of interest,
a stolen glance you way?
Will you come and talk to me,
or watch me day to day?

You may have taken notice
that I'm not very shy.
I like to tell my girlfriends
when I like a certain guy.
I do not mean to scare you,
but I've thought of you a lot.
and now I simply want to know,
do you like me, too-- or not?

Alone

I didn't want to admit it,
It was easier to life,
And hide the hurt and emptiness,
To smile instead of cry.
I didn't want to face the fact,
My life is full of pain,
And I long to stop my bleeding heart,
And maybe smile again.
'Cause I feel oh-so-forgotten,
So betrayed and so alone,
Without a trace of forgiveness,
And no soul to call my own.
I didn't want to admit the facts,
I cannot spread my wings,
And my happiness had melted,
Into tears and other things.
It's hard for me to hide the fact,
My wishes have no home
And return to anguish,
Bow my head and cry alone.

-Becca Woolf

Dreaming Of Me

He's out there somewhere,
Waiting for me just like I'm waiting for him.
Feeling the same things I'm feeling right now,
Thinking there many never be an end to this loneliness,
The longing,
The void that grows with each passing minute.
He's out there,
Somewhere,
Dreaming of me.

-Miriam Perez

I Wonder

I wonder,
What I could do
Or day
To make him like me.
I wonder,
What or who
I need to be
To be his.
I wonder,
When just being me
Will be enough.
