Why do you turn away?

Never look me in the face.

No matter how many times I try,

You just pretend it's all a lie.

And with each long, passing day,

It seems you're growing farther away.

But everytime you started to cry,

Who was there to dry up your eyes?

So the next time, you try to close the door,

You cry out you don't want anymore,

Just remember, that I'll always carry the pain,

From a lost love that was in vain.

But remember, all the memories that you seem to regret,

Are the ones I don't want to forget.

&quot;I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater.&quot; -SN
