Of all the time, from then to now, I have thought often

Of you. I have been so lonely without you.

Not knowing of your life, of your love, of your soul,

I lost my mind. To think of you so often, was killing me.

I found my way in my own life, I felt my soul lifting from

The darkness, as I forgot you. Slowly, I had to leave you in the

Past, leave the thought of our time together there.

I began to find what I needed, without you. Or so I thought...

I was so happy for a time, without you, then, my world fell to pieces.

And for the years from then to now, I was only me...

I was only me and you were there, happy in your way, in your

Life...

And I was here...

I found my happiness without you, and lost it again...

I found my happiness without you, and lost it again, when I lost you...

I was resigned to my dark life, and was satisfied with that.

I was by myself, and for once happy to be me...

Then you came to me, you found me, and I found the happiness that

Was missing for those years, from then to now...

You found me and I found my life, my soul, my happiness...

Obviously she doesn't care

You say you can't love me that way...

Over time, you will realize,

That you wasted all your

Years searching for the love

I have for you now.

You've broken my heart,

Crushed my soul,

And I can do nothing,

But love you still...

Thank you L. Cohen

To quote a man, that has been in my life,

All my life.

He is not my father...

These simple words, have kept me happy,

During the worst years.

He is not my brother...

A line or two a day, kept me safe,

When I was hurting.

He is not my friend...

Put in this way, the words kept me happy,

When I was down.

He is not my enemy...

Song that made me see love, gave me peace,

When I had neither.

He is not my God...

Emotion, pure and simple, make me the man that I am,

When I thought that I could not go on.

He is just a man...

He is a great man, he is inspiration,

To my life,

To my words,

In my dreams,

For my dreams, and I thank him...

The energy that I feel right now, could kill a soul.

Take a man's life, and break him.

If only it was anger, I could kill.

If it was happiness, I could smile.

If it was pain, I would die.

If it was peace, I'd never fight.

If it was love, I'd never lie.

If it was you, you could find it in your heart, to love me again.

If it was me, I could find it in my heart, to love me.

These emotions, I've never felt, not with this power.

These emotions, they will pass soon, so I must go.

Before it is happiness, pain, peace,

Or love...

-I can love you perfect-

I belong to what is here, what is now.

I am here, I am the now.

I am you, I am everywhere, I know all that is

To be known.

I know you, you know nothing.

You wish to be me, you wish, and your

Dreams can always come true, and riches flounder

In the sight of your beauty. I know you.

But you know nothing... But hate.

I know you, I am you, I am love, I am peace,

I... Am riches, I am sweet, bitterness in this world.

I can make my time, I can be all things, all that

You wish me to be.

Will you love me, that way you can do so well?

Will you love me, when I am ugly, when my riches

Are gone? Will you love me, when I hate me?

Will you give up all you know to be true, to be

With me?

Will you ever know me, like I know you?

How long can you live, without my attention?

How long can you go, without my love to

Make you at peace with the world?

Can you survive without the knowledge of what I am?

What I know, what I can be?

How long can you be, without me?

You looked the way I remember you, when I

Saw you tonight... Perfect.

And in love.

I don't know him, but I know he can't love you,

Not the way I did.

I don't like him, he can't be me, for I am me,

And I am confused.

We are gone, we are apart, and I can't touch you

The way I once did.

I can no longer hold you

With the passion that I once had, your eyes are empty.

Will the chance ever return?

Will I ever have you again?

Will I ever know?

No.

For you are happy without me, and I

Am here, without love, sad and distant, alone.

I will cry, I will weep. And I will die

Soon enough to please you, and

Make you smile once more.
