hello yall
this one might make you cry.  a few nights ago me and my friends were driving down the roada nd we hit a slick spot and went onto a feild.  no one was hurt, the car was perfect, just alittle scary.  =)  but on the way home i heard a song by lynyrd skynyrd called freebird.  and for all of yall that dont know it the main line in the song is if i leave here tomarrow will you still remember me??  so that got me to thinking.  and it inspired me to write this.  no i am not suicidal  =)  just inspired.  so here it goes.  it goes out to my ex and her son.  i love them very much.  tell me what yall think.

If I Leave Here Tomarrow

If i leave here tomarrow
will you still remember me?
will you remember the love we had
when our lives where careless and free
like when we went to myrtle beach
and walked together in the sand
under the south carolina moonlight
down the boardwalk, hand and hand
If i leave here tomarrow
will you still remember the day
that just seeing your smile
took my breath away
like first time we kissed
it sent shivers up my spine
from that day forth
my heart was no longer mine
if i leave here tomarrow
please never forget
that you had my heart and soul
since the day that we met
i even gave you one thing
i could never give to another
i gave you my virginity
something i could give no other
if i leave here tomarrow
i wouldnt want you to cry
for i will always be in your heart
i will always be by your side
i know that you are married now
i know we have had our fights
but forever threw thick and thin
i loved you with all my might
if i leave here tomarrow
if the sun goes down on me
when i close my eyes your angelic face
will be the last thing that i see
you are the only one i know
that could capture this outlaws heart
so no matter what happens to me
we will never be far apart
if i leave here tomarrow
and go to the heaven up above
always remember wanda
that you always were my one true love
you gave me my dreamz
you showed me the way
you gave my life sunshine
when all i saw was grey
if i leave here tomarrow
if my time on earth was threw
my soul would go back home to dixie
to be with david and you
so if i leave here tomarrow
just look out over the sea
for i will always love you wanda
and you will always be a part of me...

My outlaw brother, your heart is filled with a pain you dont deserve. Just by your words I see the soul of a good man.
Though by twists of fate
we endure heartaches
on paths of loneliness,
but we build bridges
across streams of sorrow
with the helping hands of friends
to another love
another paradise.

hey pardner, your music is your soul, your heart, release the pain with it...it will free you...and don't you be leaving us tomorrow...I just got here. who the hell i'm a gonna write lyrics for? You all smile now, hear?

Hi Jesse,

This is trully heart felt, and I sing a simular tune, went to try another and live a sour song. But I think we are all ment to sing a melody filled with love or we would not desire it so much, I know that you will sing again, and I also beleive we never forget our first love and there is nothing wrong with that. Peace be with you, beautiful writing here.

Love, Cerenity

Ah, Jesse, I know the feeling. For a day or two, I really thought, "what if I did walk into the ocean and never return, would he remember? Would he care?"
But then I came to my senses, Ha! No man is worth that much of a sacrifice. No woman either.
All broken hearts aside, this is always an interesting contemplation..
I think each poem you write here gets better and better.
And, I am so glad you weren't hurt in the car incident.
Luv ya
Sandra

Hey Jess, this is so beautiful. I was thinking about it for so many times... if anything should happen (God forbid), how will people react? How will they remember me? Would they care ? If I get sick, how many would come visit me? Would HE come? Sometimes these thoughts dawn on me, maybe coz I've got no self esteem at all...  
Anyway, no matter what, I hope we'll get to see you here for a long long time, so don't go anywhere!  
Bye!

Jesse~
If I was to write a poem like this with so much pain I think I would go crazy. Knowing that I have so much inside of me that I dont want to get out. And am afraid to get out. I admire you for being able to do that. I am sorry that you have to go through so much pain. Its hard to let go of someone you love. And I feel for you.

Music is a wonderful tool for inspiration.
