It was you
Billie dee ryder 1979 (Kamloops BC)
It was always you I wanted....
No needed to be with
You were the one who taught me to be patient even when I couldn't
You didnt see it, but I felt it
Finally i felt calm.
You gave me a reason to try,
I was falling in love...
You are the one I could finally trust,
Even after people told me not to hear your lies,
I listened and from you I heard the truth.
What a beautiful sound....thank you
For you i would never be good enough
You deserve better
God how I wish it was I..... l'm sorry.
I've always been kind, but not kind enough
You deserve a gentle peace
Like a warm summer wind kissing your cheek.
When I close my eyes,
I see your face, your smile is so gentle so are your eyes.
I remember the truths you told,
The ones your friends called lies,
Screw your friends
Your to good for them
You always will be
My peace has settled in im ready to let go.
To feel that peace I felt once for a moment in time.
For so many reasons...
Please know none of them were you,
From you I felt the love I've always searched for,
Though you never said it , you didnt need to I felt it.
This isnt a final goodbye it's goodbye for now till we meet again.
Remember that you were a silver lining to the dark cloud I've been living in.
The silver lining i found with you.
Know I loved you...I fell in love
I did not say it, I didnt want it to end before I was ready to let go.
Physically i will no longer be with you, but remember I'll always be at your side when you need me close your eyes and call me,
I'll be right beside you,
Maybe you will feel my touch like a warm summer's wind kissing your cheek.
I'll listen to you when you need my ear, I will always be near.
Until you I thought I had loved and lost
I heard I love you a million times before.
I never felt it I didnt know what it was.
One day suddenly
I realized from you I felt it, though you never said it, you didnt need to.
You gave me that gift
Know that I left this place finally feeling what i was searching for all my life,
I felt worthy of love
I had what I came here for so many years ago, and you gave me that gift.
For this i am eternally in your debt
I will wait patiently for your call when i can come to you and repay the gift you gave me.
I love you
