Everlasting
By:Leah Gerstner

I'm like a leaf blowing in the wind,
Not knowing where I'm going to land,
Or who I will fall onto.

I know where i want to go,
But the wind feels like it is pushing me in another direction completely,
No matter how hard i try,
I'll never get there.

I want the wind to sweep me into your arms,
So I can feel like myself.
Every time i get an inch closer,
those strong gusts just take me away
And I have to start all over again.

You are my reason for not being crushed by the storm,
You are the reason for who I am now.
A single, lonely leaf floating throughout the air with nowhere to land.

I continue to wait for you to realize that my heart belongs to you,
And only you.
But it has taken so long,
I'm almost at the point where all I do is cry myself to sleep.

Why does love hurt so much,
When it is such a strong feeling,
That can make someone feel so special.

All I ever dream of doing is showing you how much i care,
But you'll never understand.
And when you suspect that there are feelings,
You make it seem like loving someone as great as you is a crime.

If you loved me even half as much,
I would be the happiest girl in the world.
I couldn't even begin to imagine,
What a different person your love could make me.

Every time I try to help you because i care,
You make it seem like I am trying to hurt you,
When in reality,
I'm trying to help you from hurting yourself.
When you push me away,
I know that's when you are needing me the most,
And it kills me to know you don't realize that.

You are my life, my heart, my soul,
and no matter what happens,
How much you change,
How far you go,
How old we get,
I will always love you,
Forever.

My goodness! That is something that I can relate to. It is something that lets me finally know some other sides to the mentality of a relationship.
