....victory in defeat...
I'm not afraid to finish last.
I'll continue to let them pass me by, for I do not want to give the world a reason to deny me.
Happiness is a luxury. I'm grateful for the people in my life. My friendships out weigh anything I can taste or touch. My parents are my models of unconditional love. My life is rich...this I know. However, it is in our nature to desire and strive for relative perfection. The feeling of incompleteness is inescapable in a life where love is absent.
[drifting with broken sails]
[a breeze gently speaks in rhymes]
[I move without thought as I try to recall your face, your hands]
[and the look of happiness you once gave me]
[only in my dreams does your face come clearly to me]
[only in sleep can I feel your warmth and taste the scent of you]
[but in life, every dream must come to and end]
[and in every moment of awakening, I must feel you being torn away from me]
[and I am left in a state of irony...]
[for my life feels more like sleep]
[and my dreams feel more like life]
[all I can do is seek comfort in that one day, one night...]
[I will not awake]
[and I will at last be at peace]
[and I’ll be able to hold you in my arms forever]
[...never again to be cold]
[never again to be without your warmth]
