I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?

for your lover has come home
by your side I'll always stay
never have to be alone.

You never have to be alone.

And fleetingly we see ourselves pass
driving a good thing
and wondering how long can it last
how long can it last

Who would have thought this love would last just nine months,
that it would be left behind so quickly and without warning..
Who would have thought those eyes so beautiful when you awoke,
would look at me in so much pain and anger.
Who would have thought that warm heart that once reached out for me,
would become so cold and turn me away so easily.

The couch where you slept that last night now sits empty
The place in my heart where you once were now aches
These tears get me nowhere now but further inside my loneliness...
- me 12.13.o2

"You make me smile.
I started giggling tonight when you were talking because I was imagining
what you were doing while you were talking. How cute you would look
if I were seeing you. I don't know. A little mushy or something.
But that's how you make me feel."
- #2 o3.18.o2
...
"I really can't do the whole relationship thing.
I hope you don't see me doing this just to hurt you. I don't
want to do that."
- #2 12.o7.o2

remember how it used to be
when the sun would fill up the sky
remember how we used to feel
those days would never end

remember how it used to be
when the stars would fill the sky
remember how we used to dream
those nights would never end

it was the sweetness of your skin
it was the hope of all we might have been
that fills me with the hope
to wish impossible things

but now the sun shines cold
and all the sky is grey
the stars are dimmed by clouds and tears
and all i wish is gone away
- The Cure "To Wish Impossible Things"

A darkness grows inside me in fading shades of gray
All the colors of the world are slowly sucked away
I'm sinking ever deeper to a place that's cold and black
I can't believe I've lost you and you're never coming back

Soon the night will take me and save me from my pain
Cloak me in cold darkness and help me lose your name

I am alone
Locked in my memories
- Stabbing Westward

Seems like such a long long time
Since I held you near and called you mine
Look into your hands
I’m slipping through them like a tiny grain of sand
- Stereo Fuse "Everything"

Well, I haven't felt this way in quite some time
When I look over you're not there
...feel the tears run down...
So I guess I lost control
Everybody makes mistakes sometimes
It tears the soul straight from my spine
But in the end I guess the truth is shown
That you won't ever really be mine

And if this wound ever heals maybe I'll sleep again
- Sinch "Seven"

Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn’t have
Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back
And never moving forward so there’d never be a path
- Linkin Park "Easier to Run"

Nothing ever stops all these thoughts, and the pain attached to them
Sometimes I wonder why this is happening
It's like nothing I can do would distract me
When I think of how I shot myself in the back again
Because from the infinite words I can say
I put all pain you gave to me on display
But didn't realize instead of setting it free
I took what I hated and made it a part of me
- Linkin Park "Figure.09"

The way I never thought I'd leave this place
The way you made it seem so real
Cause you have faith and you had empathy
And all I needed was this

How can I let you leave this way?
Without you I'm not at all
And I see things now in these memories
Just to see you...again
- Busted "Without You"

Maybe I walk around at night
Thinking about the love we’ve lost
You used to make me feel
Like I’ve never felt before
You used to
Make me feel at peace
- Shifty "Love We Once Knew"

This hurts deeper than I thought it did
It has not healed with time
It just shot down my spine

Reminds me how you laid us down
And gently smiled before you destroyed my life
- Saliva "Rest In Pieces"

Amazing still it seems
I'll be 23
I won't always love what I'll never have
I won't always live in my regrets
- Jimmy Eat World "23"

I thought it was too good to be true
I found somebody who understands me
someone who would help me to get through
and fill an emptiness i had inside me
but you kept inside and I just denied
some things that we should have both said
I knew it was too good to be true
cause i'm the only one who understands me

what happened to us
we used to be so perfect,
now i'm lost and lonely

I could have made it work,
I could have found a way,
should have done our best to see another day
but we kept it all inside
I knew it was too late
and now we live with the consequence we made
to throw it all away
- Hoobastank "What Happened To Us?"

I gave your heart a passion
I gave your life a theme
- ATC "Until"

Could you please tell me why
I sit back thinking that there once was a time
A time where everything was perfect
It seems the things we shared were so far behind
Behind but we're never getting closer
'cause I can feel your shadow hanging over me
And I'm just peering through the light

Could you please tell me why
Why I can't hold on to the person
That I tried so hard to find
- Unwritten Law "Tell Me Why"

I finally figured out what I should have said to you then
And no one is to blame
But we’ll never be the same

You know I miss your eyes
I miss your face
- Nina Gordon "Too Slow To Ride"

What if somebody had told me, I'd be this unhappy?
What if somebody had told me, I'd be this alone?
What if somebody had told me, the world would mean nothing?
I wish somebody had told me before you were gone, gone, gone.
- Seven Mary Three "Without You Feels"

Let's go back, let's rewind to the days that remind me
of all the good times that we spent together
And I don't know why we just let it all slide
When we both knew inside we were right for each other

I don't know what to do
Cause you're everything that I knew

How can you just walk out of my life
Without even giving a reason
And how can you look so good
The day I watched you leaving
- Busted "Everything I Knew"

I wanted you to be everything to me
Now I've got to learn to carry on
I know I cannot hide this emptiness inside
But nothing is the same since you've gone

I don't know if you feel me here
I can tell you one thing that's clear
I will feel you...
Forever
- Verticle Horizon "Forever"

Doesn't anyone fill the void?
Doesn't anyone take the place of you?
- Darren Hayes "Void"

For each forgotten kiss
For all the memories
For all the times alone
Said all we had to say

You came on Cupid's wings
And then you flew away

When you touched my face
When you call my name
I'm burned with desire
But you left me in the rain

For every sleepless night
Forever in your arms
For every hour spent
Lost in the reverie

You broke your promises
No shame and no regrets
You burned the bridges to
An endless mystery
- Armin van Buuren "Burned With Desire"

Void from healing
I only wish I could hold back this aggression
Please hear my confession
I try to keep myself from thinking about you
I can't live without you
You turned away from me

All of the lessons that I had to learn and
All of the respect that I had to earn and
You're the one that makes me understand
Life
- Unwritten Law "Lessons"

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world?
If you don’t love me anymore.
Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love.
I wake up in the morning and I wonder.
Why everything is the same as it was.
And I can’t understand,
No I can’t understand why life goes on the way it does.
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world?
It ended when we said goodbye.
- Nina Gordon "The End Of The World"

Reoccurring feelings, tell me I'm wrong
Nothing worse than believing, it's easier to just move on
Surrounding nothing with arms that needed so much more
Still there is something that both of us are searching for

This is all worth remembering, but living it is all too clear
Well I wish you knew
But there is nothing we can do
- Familiar 48 "Endings"

Nothing's like it was before
I so wish I could just pretend
But there is nothing left to adore

I don't understand this world that we are living in
People give you things so they can take them back again
- Dry Cell "Slip Away"

We were meant to be
Together for eternity
But now you're gone it's plain to see
I was living just a fantasy
Now I can't seem to get over you
Appearing in everything that I do
I never thought you'd leave me
- Craig David

It is cold where you're going
I hope that your heart is always warm.
I gave you the best that I had.
You passed on my letters
And passed on the best that I had.
- Dashboard Confessional "Age Six Racer"

Faded past, lost memories
You think it best if I go
Unto you, I'll give my heart
But then you take it all away from me
- Course of Nature

Something's disappeared inside
Should I try to run away
If I could I would escape you

I won't argue anymore
I have lost the will to be
Hope you don't think I'm ungrateful

I don't like this place at all
Makes me wonder what I'm here for
Someone take this pain away
Dying to see another day
- Armin van Buuren ft. Ray Wilson "Yet Another Day"

I'm all alone since you've been gone
I can't keep myself from asking why
Just wanna see my reflection
In your eyes

Just know that I'm with you
And what you feel
I feel it too

I'm feeling lately
I'm going crazy
Wondering how I'll go on without you
I keep on trying
Slowly dying
Thinking about how I need you here with me

There's nothing else
That feels the same
Everyday there's sun, it feels just like rain
- Justincase ft. Michelle Branch "Without You"

Another sleepless night turns color black and white.
With all the things I've said,
There is just regret.
A beating in my head.

Hands into a fist,
Static in my head.
Now I'm sitting face to face with loneliness.

What did I expect?
Did I see forever in you?
- Finch "Three Simple Words"

Taking steps back through the words I should have said to you
They all got lost
You went away
Well I feel sick and you just don't care anymore
I wish to be with you
Minutes of me and you
And I can't feel this happening
- Something Corporate "You're Gone"

Gimme a reason
Why I'm feeling so blue
Everytime I close my eyes, all I see is you
Gimme a reason
Why I can't feel my heart
I guess I miss you, beautiful
These three words have said it all
You know I miss you...
- Darren Hayes "I Miss You"

Oh it seems the sun will never shine
The skies are so gray
And the heart you left broken is lonely
I long for the days you loved me only
- Alison Krauss "Winter Of A Broken Heart"

Never thought I would consider
Loving someone new
Cause in my plans for happiness
I only thought of you.
- Jon Secada "Misunderstood"

The more I gave to you the more you grew bored
And making love became the waging of war
No peace
No tenderness
No fun anymore

Farewell...
- Garbage "Till The Day I Die"

I can't decide if I'm all right
I feel inside I need some help
I can't be me unless you're there
This situation's so unfair

I know there's better ways to be...
Dry Cell "Ordinary"

I hear your voice every day
It doesn't seem quite the same
Took you away from me
I wish that you weren't gone

This isn't over, there's no way
I'm still denying everything
This can't be right...
Dry Cell "Forever Beautiful"

The sun won't shine since you went away
Seems like the rain's falling every day
There's just one heart, where there once was two
But that's the way it's gotta be,
'til I get over you

They say that time will dry the tears
But true love burns for a thousand years
Give my tomorrows for one yesterday
Just to know that I could have you here
- Christina Milian

I try to push away all the rage and the anguish
Try to hold back the tears, and hold back those days,
Where nothing went right, everything's wrong.
But that lonely place, is the place I now lay.
- Crashing Tide "What I've Become"

I'll never be able to forget her face,
Or the memories of that beautiful place
Where I was when she was near, there was no fear
Her smile gave me a high that's been torn down
In all these memories and hopeless desires I drown.
- Crashing Tide "Drown"

I wonder how many others have felt the things I do,
How many have laid awake at night
And felt so incomplete because of you...
Can't imagine how many tears you’ve been responsible for,
Like a child toying with what’s easily broken,
You run away as their hearts break across cold floor...
Just like them, I am nothing more...
- Crashing Tide "Faces"

It seems a lot of time has passed since then
When you and I were we, but now just friends
I miss you
Noone can ever take the place of you
And every little change that I go through, alone
I miss you
- Familiar 48 "Miss You"

I keep your picture beside my bed
And I still remember everything you said
I always thought our love was so right, I guess I was wrong
I always thought you'd be by my side, now you're gone

Everybody said that we should never part
Tell me baby, why'd you wanna go and break my heart?
- Prince

So look back on the treasured days
We were young in a world that was so tired
And everything you hoped would last
Just always becomes your past (it hurts)

I'll remember you
And the things that we used to do
And the things that we used to say
I'll remember you that way
- Remy Zero "Perfect Memory"

Pain, the pain I've felt is growing deep inside of me
I can't imagine what you wanted me to be
What if I fell down; would you pick me up
Would you be there taking stabs at me
- Course of Nature

Every face I see is cold as ice
Everything I touch is pale
Like a stream that flows into the sea
I am lost for all eternity
Ever since you took your love away from me
- Perpetuous Dreamer "The Sound Of Goodbye"

There's nothing left to prove,
There's nothing I won't do,
Nothing left to face
There’s nothing left to lose
And there's nothing like the pain
I feel for you...
Nothing takes your place.
- Our Lady Peace

The end seemed twisted like my soul
That now seems reckless, with no control
I wasn't much with love till I found you
I wasn't much for hate till I lost you
- Justincase "When My Heart Falls Down"

I swear to God those sleepless nights broke me down
The tears I cried for you 'cause you're not around
The night is lonely and the time is slow
Without your hair between my fingers
Well, where did you go
Where did we go
- Justincase "Sleepless Nights"

There were moments I wasn't so sure
There was someone who came and loved like you
You made me feel like flying
You made me see the world with my own eyes.

When the daylight fades
On a summers day
You're all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted was you.
You're the air I breathe
Watching over me
You're all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted was you.
- The Mystery "All I Ever Wanted (Devotion)"

Today is just like all the others
I'm not alright, I've cried my last tears
You've got me waiting by myself
- Finch "Waiting"

How did we get this far apart?
We used to be so close together
How did we get this far apart?
I thought this love would last forever
- The Cure "Apart"

Pushing my face in the memory of you again
Never quite said what I wanted to say to you
Never quite managed the words to explain to you
Never quite knew how to make them believable
And now the time has gone, another time undone
Hopelessly fighting the devil futility
Feeling the monster climb deeper inside of me
Feeling him gnawing my heart away hungrily
I'll never lose this pain
Never dream of you again
- The Cure "Untitled"

Remember how I used to touch your hands
While reachin' for the feeling that was always there
You're the best thing in my life I can recall
You and me we had it all
- Rolling Stones "We Had It All"

For a second I felt something in you
For a second I believed in you
(But now) I can't recall a single day
That's gonna make this pain slip away
- The Verve "Feel"

I let you go, let you go, like a dozen balloons
Without even thinking
I didn't know, now I know, it was much too soon
It was much too soon
Why can't you call and say you miss me
The time we wasted just becomes history
Why can't you call and say you need me
The words I wanna hear deceive me

Now that she's let me out
I only want back in
- Sugar Ray "Sorry Now"

Hanging by threads of palest silver,
I could have stayed that way forever...
I lose what I love most...
Did you know I was lost until you found me?
- Garbage "A Stroke of Luck"

Now I still wonder, why did you say goodbye?
You let me stand here all alone
The pain inside my heart, it's tearing me apart
Cause now I stand here on my own
I don't know what I should do
Cause my tears will never dry
And I still wonder why

I hope that you will see how much you mean to me
I don't understand why you have gone
- Lasgo "Cry"

Lovers forever, a phrase I remember
Now seems so unkind...
The world that I knew is the world that is now
Somewhere lost in time...
- Jon Secada

Perfect is how I once described our love
But that was before we fell apart
So why do I feel a million miles away?
Why do I feel like we're broken?
It used to be perfect...
- Stabbing Westward

I realize that I'm awake and this nightmare's more than true
I'm living it now 'cause I'm so far away from you
I've forgotten how and cannot find a way to see this world in color
I hate this state of mind.
- Crashing Tide "Drown"

By stepping into my sight,
You showed me what beauty really was.
In stepping into my life,
All I held sacred was debased,
As I walked away with nothing left
Wishing that these simple memories could be erased...
- Crashing Tide "Faces"

So I guess this is the ending or a beautiful mistake.
And if we both agree that we shouldn't be together,
Why does it hurt so much?
I feel like I lost my closest friend.
Did I just give up the best thing I ever had?

I hope you're happy and completely lonely.
- The Ataris "A Beautiful Mistake"

Your heart is not open so I must go
This spell has been broken, I loved you so
You were my lesson I had to learn
I was your fortress you had to burn
There's nothing left to try
There's no place left to hide
There's nothing left to lose
There's no more heart to bruise
There's no greater power than the power of goodbye
- Madonna "The Power of Goodbye"

Thought it would be just the two of us in the end
But now I'm leaving and you're not even my friend
- Mest

All the regrets you can't forget
Are somehow pressed upon a picture
In the face of such an ordinary girl
- Counting Crows "Hard Candy"

How's it feel when there's time to remember?
Branches bare, like the trees in November.
Had it all, threw it all away.
- Mike Oldfield "Man In The Rain"

Remember it wasn't that long ago
You told me that you love me so
Don't forget all the nights we shared
When you told me girl how much you cared
- Craig David "Two Steps Back"

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
But now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
- Evanescence "My Immortal"

So now you're on your own.
So now you're all alone.
Just like you always wanted it to be.

No one to tell you how to think.
No one to tell you when to stop.
No one to tell you when to think about the fact that you fucked up.
- Godhead "Fucked Up"

Do you ever wonder where we would be if we'd have tried a little harder?
It seems like yesterday that we were making plans for the future.
But it's been so long since I have known the truth.
These dreams we've left abandoned...
And I'm haunted by your face and the memory of your kisses -- sweet kisses.
Do you remember? I still remember so much. I remember never feeling so alive.

I still can't forget your touch.
We swore that we would never end,
We knew our love transcend space and time.
These memories slip away, the ghost of what we were is fading...

Now I don't even recognize the girl I swore that someday I would marry.
But I can't forget her face,
And I can't forget her kisses -- sweet kisses.
Do you remember?
God, I remember so much...
- Stabbing Westward "I Remember"

I've been so alone for so long
Forgotten by the world; forgotten to myself
Your effervescent eyes have awakened me
And brushed the dust away...
But I knew you'd never stay

So I memorized the color of your eyes
As I lost myself inside you
And I memorized the way our legs entwined
As I drifted off beside you

At night I cling to you I'm so afraid
Afraid the day will come
And I'll awake and find you gone
But you promise that you'd not abandon me
And then kissed my fears away
But I woke up to that day...

But I'd memorized the way our eyes would meet
Reflected in the bathroom mirror
And I memorized your naked silhouette
As you slowly brushed your hair...

I've been so alone for so long...
I forgot how much it hurts to wake up so alone...
But I'd memorized how warm your body felt
As you lay half asleep beside me
And I memorized the way the sunlight filled the room
And played upon your body

I miss
God I miss
Waking up beside you...
- Stabbing Westward "Waking Up Beside You"

Bye for now
Didn't mean to let you down
Didn't mean to drive you away
Bye for now
Now that you're not around
So many things I'd like to say

Never meant to let you down...
- Lagwagon "Bye For Now"

Broken heart again today...
The flowers that I gave to you have withered all away.
I lie in bed awake at night
And wonder what went wrong, or even more just what went right.

Why do I never seem to learn?
That love is wrong and girls are fucking evil.
I guess I'll never figure out
What womankind is all about.
- The Ataris "The Last Song I Will Ever Write About a Girl"

Disturbing lyrics...

Amazing still it seems
I'll be 23
I won't always love what I'll never have
I won't always live in my regrets
- Jimmy Eat World "23" [12.2o.o4]

All I want is someone
Who can fill the hole
In the life I know
I've got to get rid of this hole inside...
- The Verve "On Your Own" [o1.1o.o3]

Forget December
It won't be better than I remember it before
And this month only
Would be so lonely
And not so homely anymore...
- Something Corporate [12.25.o2]

There are long nights when I lay awake
And I think of what I've done
Of how I've thrown my sweetest dreams away
And what I've really become
And however hard I try
I will always feel regret
However hard I try
I will never forget
- The Cure "Bare" [12.14.o2]

I think I've reached that point
Where giving up and going on
Are both the same dead end to me
Are both the same old song

I think I've reached that point
Where every wish has come true
And tired disguised oblivion
Is everything I do
The Cure "End" [12.14.o2]

My friends say where did it go
The face that always used to glow
But I just don't know what to tell them now
Somehow I've lost the plot along the way
I can't find the words to say...
- Seven Channels [o8.27.o2]

There's a part of me so insecure
Of all that I could have and all that I've gone through
If there could be a way through a better design
I'd probably screw it up and let it slip away
- Course Of Nature [o8.27.o2]

I hide in darkness blind to sense
Chasing a dream with false pretense
Help me find the fracture in this dark sky
Everything that I believe is slowly overtaking me
I'm just trying to find my way back home

Endless days are haunting me
Open eyes and I can't sleep
I need this now rescue me
Just bring me home
- 12 Stones [o8.27.o2]

I still feel the cold of long past days
Sun shines through haze
I put my thoughts toward future days
Feeling so old, years pass like days
Fastly changing, so many ways my eyes perceive
Yes I believe in nothing more
- Static-X "December" [o8.27.o2]

Sometimes when I'm alone
I wonder aloud
If you're watching over me
Some place far abound
I must reverse my life
I can't live in the past
Then set my soul free
Belong to me at last
- Pantera [o2.24.o2]

And when she died
I couldn't cry, the pride within my soul
You left me incomplete
Memories now unfold

And when she died
I should've cried, and spared myself some pain
Left me incomplete
All alone as the memories still remain
- Pantera [o2.24.o2]

Took for granted precious time
Thought we had it on our side
By some cruel twist of fate
I had to watch you fade away
- Gabrielle [o2.24.o2]

You were fighting everyday
So hard to hide the pain
I know you never said goodbye
I had so much left to say.

Life is changing,
Rearranging. I will be strong.
I can't believe you're gone.
- Sevendust [o8.27.o2]

But your eyes look away
It's so hard to be someone
Strung out from today
And all that you knew slips away
- Goo Goo Dolls [o2.24.o2]

In darkness, there is no sin
Light only brings in fear
There's nothing to corrupt the eyes
There is no vision here
- Goo Goo Dolls [o2.24.o2]

At first, you may find it strange
But do not go away
The darkness holds a power
That you won't find in the day
- Goo Goo Dolls [o2.24.o2]

If I close my eyes...
I don't wanna close my eyes...
There are dreams of phantom doorways...
There were dreams of you and me.
- Urge Overkill [o2.24.o2]

Much time has passed between us
Do you still think of me at all?
My world of broken promises
Now you won't catch me when I fall
- Gabrielle [o2.24.o2]

Staring at the white above
One day I closed my eyes and here I am
A cold, unhappy man
I've come to realize the life I have I hate
The pulse I need is slowly fading
Until I've lost it all
- Hoobastank [o2.24.o2]

There was a time I was happy in my life
There was a time I believed I'd live forever
There was a time I prayed to Jesus Christ
There was a time I had a mother
It was nice
- Madonna [o8.18.o3]

You know I've started to grow,
Since you've been away.
Lately it's scarier not knowing,
What's become of you.
I swear sometimes you're watching over me...
Still I'd give the world for the chance
Just to see your face again.
And still I pretend that you're still standing by,
To tell me wrong from right.
Never got a chance to say goodbye.
Now they tell me that you're in a better place,
But where did you go?
- Orgy [o3.2o.o2]

Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal, it's so unfair

Leaving flowers on your grave
Show that I still care
But black roses and Hail Mary's
Can't bring back what's taken from me

And it feels like heaven's so far away
Yeah, it feels like the world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away
- The Offspring [o3.15.o2]

I cursed the sky to open
I begged the clouds for rain
I prayed to God for water
For this burning in my veins
It was like my soul's on fire
And I had to watch the flames
All my dreams went up in ashes
And my future blew away
- Bon Jovi [o3.o6.o2]

You could give a million reasons
Change the world and change the tides
(But you) could not give me the secrets
Of your heart and of your mind.
In the darkness that surrounds me now
There is no peace of mind
Your careless words undo me
Leave the thought of us behind.
- Chicane [o2.27.o2]

At night I just stare amid my self-destructive toys
Shouting to the sky is anyone up there
My eyes drip blood red a vow once made
I've come to dread this shame
This guilt is killing me stone dead
- Circle of Dust [o2.24.o2]

Open-mouth stares void of speech and dry
Empty heart bare where many failures lie
Stolen lungs breathe the air of darkest dread
Empty eyes see a life already dead
- Circle of Dust [o2.24.o2]

And I don't want you to feel sorry for me
You never gave us a chance to be
And I don't need you to be by my side
To tell me that everything's alright
I just wanted you to tell me the truth
You know I'd do that for you
So why are you running away???
- Hoobastank [o2.24.o2]

My favorite poem...

It kills the thrills of a life that's long
and when it's too late you learn right from wrong.
It kills off dreams and memories of time in the sand
and the shade of the trees.
Your life comes to a stop when you make this mistake
...A life that seems so fake...
- Freedom Star (aka Kelly Dane, a dearest friend no longer part of my life) - July 22, 1995
