I want you back in my life

By: Brittany Kemp

So you say, I have some things to learn
But I think that I have already learned enough.
Everything you have said lately just seems to burn,
I want to be stronger, but I just can’t be that tough.

I have learned so much, all from you
But I want to continue to learn more.
I’ve taught you, and you’ve taught me-
Between you and I there is so much more in store.

I can’t let it go, and forget the past.
Right now, things between us just are not right.
I know things between you and I are going to last.
Until things are good again, I’ll continue to fight.

With out you in my life, nothing seems just right.
When things in my life were dark and black, you showed me the light.
I want you in my life, how is that so wrong?
When I was down, you would make me laugh all day long.

When the sun rose in the morning, at the start of a new day,
I would rise with it smiling, with thoughts of you already in my head.
And when the day was over, and in my bed I’d lay,
Once again you were on my mind as soon as I went to bed.

Your eyes are like the stars that can guide me through the night.
They make me believe that everything will be alright.
I don’t think that they could tell a lie,
Although some of the things you say are extremely sly.

You have a certain smell about you that sends me flying high.
It puts a smile on my face, because all I think about is you.
Your smile could light up a room, it is absolutely mesmerizing.
It is absolutely irresistible, it could make the darkest cloud turn sky blue.

Back at home, away from vacations, we had our normal life.
Always able to lie at night, falling asleep in each others arms.
Movies, dinner dates, or take out and TV,
It was my paradise, knowing it was just you and me.

Baby I can’t live with out you; I just don’t know what to do.
You’re running through my mind and I miss everything about you.
Please help me, either get over you or love you.
Because I am tired of the hurt and tired of the pain- I am tired of being blue.

These feelings won’t go away…
I know it’s scary, but just show me your heart again,
Because I’ll guard it with my life
I just need you back in my life today.

You have gotten inside me and opened up my heart.
Think of my heart as the lock and you have the key, yet we are so far apart,
Baby the key is in your hands, please don’t fail me now.
I can’t live without you because I really just don’t know how.
