"Forever and Alyways"

For Nathan Jent
"Love is the answer, makes no difference what you have heard, Love is the answer, you have got to trust in the word."


High School romances, second chances, trusting yet unsure.

Summer nights, mild fights, praying we'll endure.

Loved you some, from day one, never will let go

Through the years, trials and tears, lost all control.

My best friend, wounds to mend, always by my side.

You're the source, no remorse, my tears you dried.

My first love, push to shove, lost then once again found.

I love you, you loved me too, heart stopped at the sound.
Butterflies, windy skies, tomorrow and a day.

Heart to heart, together when apart, never to run away.

Laughed so much, tender touch, riding on hope.
Roadtrips, sweet taste of you lips, a slippery slope.

Crippled when alone, hours on the phone, brought me to my knees.

You were the first, loved me at my worst, when you gave me the keys.

Not enough words, strongly preferred, to say what you mean to me.

Past the end, I'll never pretend, not meant to be.

With all the force, we lost our course, grasping for something.

Struggling to move, trying to prove, I can fix these broken wings.

No regrets, a huge debt, hurting to the core.

No self-esteem, at night I'd scream, I can't give anymore.

Gave it all, began to fall, fell into your arms.

Sweet memories, shooting the breeze, southern gentleman's charm.

It'll never die, as time goes by, you'll always somehow be mine.

The greatest person I've ever met, I love you yet, April 17 2008 until the end of time.
