If.....

If I was one thing, I'd be a candle
Lighting the way so you can handle.
Your life easier without woes
Not having to fight with your foes.

I'd help keep you from stumbling over
Things blocking your path to an open door.
If I light your path, life is easier,
Even strong winds, my light will not deter.

No matter what, I'm here for you
To cheer you up when you are blue.
Do not fret when times get tough,
If things look down or kind of rough.

Just remember, I'm always here,
In your heart, close and near.
I will help you out in every way,
Happiness and love in your heart will stay.

Don't blow me out, that's one request
Unless it's me you do detest.
I do not try to hurt anyone
That isn't good or any fun.

But one day you may leave me behind
You may no longer need my light to shine.
If that day comes, go on your way
And I will hope to see you again one day.

If one day, I don't appear,
Do not worry, do not fear
I may be gone, but in your heart
The light I gave you did not depart.

It will be there forever and a day
To always bring happiness and light your way.
Farewell for now, I'm needed elsewhere
If your path grows dark, in your heart, I'm there.

So I'm really not gone, just not seen,
I would not leave, I'm not that mean.
Only one simple request that I must say,
Please, never forget those who light your way.

To let go...

I knew you would be gone,
But still I dint want to let go.
Hoping against hope that,
This time would go by slow.

I could see the end very near,
And the pain that was on the other side.
But I just wanted you to be mine,
Thats all for what my heart cried.

I know life isn't all about emotions,
No one can be rightfully called mine.
Every one has a role to play,
Its upto us as where to draw a line.

The long drives,the moments we shared,
The chilly winters and the happy sun set.
Hand in hand, the long walks,
This was all as good as it could get.

And i cant complain if its no more,
As i have hundreds of memories to treasure.
One thing you can be always sure,
My love for you is some thing you cant measure.
