IF I WROTE THIS THEN, MAYBE
WE WOULD BE FACEBOOK FRIENDS
NOW









I can hold you in my arms and promise you tomorrow
If it will stop you from crying
Tell you that I'll love you and only you forever
If I believed that my lying to you would bring relief
Would help mend your broken heart
And make it easier for you to start over again
I can tell you that while we are together
I'll never sin again
That I'll never take another number from another woman
Or wonder that phrase "what if" years from now
That I would find it within me somehow to be exactly who I am in your fantasy
That man that loves you tenderly daily
Cooks breakfast, lunch, dinner and even some snacks in between
Who is more girlfriend, than husband
And I'll even be your husband and create a family with you
If it would just keep you from spilling anymore tears
I'd quickly tell you that all I feared was commitment to you
Not because you weren't enough, but because I'm not
That i forgot who I was minutes ago
Figured that I wanted something different, that we deserved something different
But I can promise you that life will be different if you only
Stop sobbing to me
See I could never take a woman crying and I'm willing to lie to you
And deny me to insure that you are happy and
As for me
I can make me happy
Somehow
It may not be right now or a year from now, but
There is a chemistry between us, right?
And it's not all dark times with you, love
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel
While we walk to the altar, together
Balled and chained as the choir sings softly
I swear that I'll remain right here for years to come
And create and raise children with you
Grow old with you and tell you that God told me to
Forsake what my heart desired, desires
Needs
Nik I swear that if you just quiet down a bit
And open your eyes from those slits
I'll look you directly into them and tell you
That I'll love you for life
But you know it would be a lie
And I know it will be a lie, and this here wouldn't be alright
Ever
For when I dream of forever, I envision happy times created easily
Not forced
And our wedding day should produce butterflies and maybe cold feet
Instead of remorse for a broken hearted uninvited guest
And you know, and I know that
She is where my heart belongs
She is for whom I sing love songs
She is the reason for my determination
And she is the one crying hardest
So dry your tears, and release me
Hate me, curse, and then hate me some more if you must
But trust that i hold fast to the fact that I don't lie to woman
And I can't, in my hearts of hearts tell you I love you forever
And make you
The first
Go.

RESOLUTIONS








Another year has come and gone.
This is the time when we make new goals.
Resolutions that we fail to keep that are,
just another way of lying to ourselves.
Plans to lose weight and not stay up late,
that we will save money and spend less,
and not make our lives a terrible mess.

That we will be more peaceable,
and not always feel we’re right.
That we will admit to our wrongs,
and not try to fight.

That we will try hard to live and not die,
that we will be truthful and not lie.
That we will love and not hate,
that we will be early not late.
Why do we fool ourselves into making resolutions?
Because, we are human.
