I touched her temple;</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
her vein pulsed softly.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Each strand of hair</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I played with one by one,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
placing them behind her ear.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I could hear her breath</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
in and out, like a soft whisper.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Though no words were uttered</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
she conveyed her love to me</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
with a grazing glance and sweet smile.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Laying within the moment I</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
could hear the second-hand clock tick;</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
the soft sheets exuding her scent</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
lingering on my brain over and over</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
dissolving into my heart for all eternity.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As I drift off to sleep she welcomes me,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
cementing the feelings my subconscious is</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
conscious of; pleasant, warm and familiar</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
staying through the night in my dreams until</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
the morning and I arise happy all over again.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Reaching out to you, at least I thought I could,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
not sure what to do but give it one last try.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I thought maybe I could change your mind</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
but you’re your own person to a fault and</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I never understood where it went wrong.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That little girl I saw so many years ago</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
no soft white glow but a blinding light;</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
as hard as I tried that spirit I couldn’t corral</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
persuasively tried, but only reflections of black eyes</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
swallowed me up and you I could no longer hold.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Beautiful but tortured your soul of reflecting mirrors</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
left you lost and confused with nowhere to turn,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
clinging to your reflections of deceit and desperation</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
denying your happiness for the sake of a fleeting feeling</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
drowning out the pain and your soul in a pseudo euphoria.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Coming back to reality those things did nothing for you at all</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
but take away your dreams and aspirations – washed away</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
like rain on a summer’s day down a gutter – gone forever.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Convinced your blinding light is only a soft white glow</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
deserving nothing and hoping for little is all you know.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So my sweet I’m reaching out one last time – not because</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I want that, but it’s been determined by you.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I know you love me but it seems you’re stuck in neutral;</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
one day I hope you come to your senses and things get better</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
but if not, I pray for the best and hope you’re not lost forever.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />

<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">This is us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">When I first heard your
voice,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">it was like chocolate;<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">smooth, satisfying and
fulfilling.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Talking to you was like a
holiday<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">I never did want it to end.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">I learn the innermost you<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">then, I fell in love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">This is us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">You said I made you laugh,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">you loved the shape of my
nose;<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">I made you have faith in a
man.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">We grew together not like a
bamboo,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">But like slowly unraveling
pedals,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Little by little by the
warmth<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Of sunshine that was our
love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">It was sure and unmistakable,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">nothing would stop the
inevitable<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">and we were both fine with
that;<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">this is us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Together in our joys, in our
sorrows,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">In our pains, oh boy our
pains,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">they seem to multiply daily<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">but still our love remains.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Happy is a state of mind;<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">but it seems our minds are
failing<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">along with our bodies,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">but we’re determined to keep
it together.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">It doesn’t mean it’s easy<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">and it might not change;<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">so we take it day by day<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">and remain focused on our
future.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">So whatever happens, I’m glad
I have you,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">you’re the elixir for my life;<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">I will be the shoulders to
lean on<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">and eventually we’ll make it;
this is us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Mary and Nick loved each other through thin and thick</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mary would do anything as she was head over heels for Nick</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nick loved Mary but some things just aren't made to last</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
as Mary and Nick lived their life too hard and too fast.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hot headed they would start fights at the drop of a hat</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
jealousy ruled they're lives as it was more than a love spat</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
she was beautiful and dangerous and flaunted it carelessly</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nick was chiseled and handsome and flirtatious as could be.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Neither of them could change and so it’s more of the same</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hurting each other carelessly and not accepting the blame</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mary is always crying wishing Nick would just understand</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nick is too prideful and won’t concede because he’s a “man”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mary blames Nick for their lot in life and has grown tired</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nick just goes from job to job and is always getting fired</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mary now just stays in her room and keeps to herself </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She loves Nick but wishes for another life somewhere else</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Despite their love for each other they were like oil and
water</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
it got to the point where they just couldn't stand each
other</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
too much of the same life, they could no longer remain</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
their passion and desire die out from what was once a flame.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
