"I am Happy to The Point of Fear" -Ralph Waldo Emmerson

I missed the world
the way it used to be
I missed the things
That I never got to see
I missed the way
You used to look at me...
Back when everything was easy.

I missed the smiles
I used to watch appear,
I missed the laughter
I never though I'd hear
I missed the life
I have come to fear...
Back when there were no trials here

I missed the one person,
Who made me cry,
I missed the answers,
As they flew by,
I missed the clues,
that told me why,
Back when I thought I could fly,

But now...

I cannot miss
the world as it used to be,
I dont miss
having you next to me,
I dont miss
the things I've never seen...
I cant miss you,
because you're right next to me :)

It's one thing for someone to make your life worth living. It takes another kind of person, to be worth dying for.

&quot;You&#039;ve got to learn to move on, because life will move on. If you don&#039;t move on, you&#039;ll just end up in over your head.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Never regret anything because at the time, it was exactly what you wanted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We accept the love we think we deserve.&quot;
