This Unopened Letter

i'm sad right now, for several reasons... i can't really talk about them, except to say they've really got me down... i'm like this constantly now. Maybe i just need to get a grip and snap out of it. But at the same time i've been writing some great lyrics recently because of it... I don't think i've told anybody except for one amazing person what's really been going on. Please please don't ask what's wrong. I can't say, it's too real right now. Well i will post some of my latest lyrics relating to this... it's from a song i'm working on called "This Unopened Letter".

-------------------------------
verse 1
I stayed up half the night
Writing a letter that you would never read
All my heart exposed
In words and letters left untold
I wrote about
how it used to be
the way you smiled
the way we talked and laughed
you know i really miss those times
and its got me wondering...

chorus
Will we find a way
to see it through today?
Can we go back again
to the way things were back then
or have we seen the day
has this all faded away?
Am i left with empty words
In this unopened letter?

I hope you're feeling better soon, Nathan. When you get sad, I get sad... which is kinda sad. 'Cause then we're both sad.

I do like that song... it really makes sense when you know the story behind it, too...

Anywho, happy early birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna call you if I don't see you tomorrow.

I'm sorry you're sad. I wish I could make you happy...but I'm afraid that I can't. Only God can. Talk to Him about it :)

If you ever wanna talk, I'm here to listen ;)

Happy early birthday!

Oh, and neat song...I like =D

hey i know how you feel..sometimes it's best not to tell anyone anyway, sometimes not even that amazing person. but God's always there and he's always listening.
