Sitting Writing Listening Eyes open, mind open, heart, open This part of Earth is carefully untouched Witness to a thousand lives Continuous stream of wandering travellers Dappling sun in the early morning Still lake harbouring a cloud’s shadow Great valleys, quiet mountains Unchanging People on a train Sharing an experience for this brief time Secrets exposed Fleeting connections Beauty in common Don’t let your eyes close

Thank you for listening, For showing that you care. Thank you for the laughs, And the knowledge that you are there. I know I have my ways And that you have yours I know that you wish, In my life I would pause. Yet we all have our dreams, They're all so unique We all have our plans; We all aim for a peak You don't have to talk, Just your presence is enough. Just standing there beside, Helps me when the going gets tough. So thank you, my friends, You all make my day You're all so amazing Just thought I should say

It's weird, because I find that I still have that jittery feeling in my stomach, like before my birthday or a big day. Despite knowing that some bearded old guy in a red suit isn't going to pop down our non-existent chimney, I retain that gleeful anticipation of being able to open presents.

Now, I know I should feel super fine Instead all I can see is I'm losing time and these thoughts, they plague my soul Negative "what-ifs?" that I just can't control I word so very hard to achieve But to some people I still deceive I know that I shouldn't, and its not fair The bottom line is, I just want them to care I love my friends, and family And the love that I give does return to me But now I'm searching for a different kind For

Is love fair? I agree with our judgement today That teenage love never lasts And it is better to be best friends Then let anything come between This friendship And yet I want more of what I tasted I would love to be with you We've shared so many happy memories Long nights and A sense of humour that is our own That to risk it all On one kiss ... I don't know what I want anymore All I know is It sucks when our expectations Of a relationship Are so completely different

Lately you, my friend, have been causing me to worry It is A betrayal of sorts A betrayal of trust How can I Just sit back And watch you do this to yourself? You are my friend I can only help you so much I thought we were such good friends That you Would never lie to me I was wrong You lied today A betrayal It hurts Because all I want is for you to be your normal amazing self --- Can't you see what you are doing to yourself? Can't you see that everyone can see it? Do you know how much concern I have for you? I'm sorry I was angry at you today I have never been or showed it before I just feel so strongly that With t
