Are you certain that your love for me is true?
If not, then let me know,
No matter what the answer, I WILL always love you.
Even if it means that I have to go.

What is a girl without a friend?
What is a book without an end?
What is a river without a brook?

Yes that is what I am
The dreams I have wished for
Are no longer worth the plan.

The scent of sawdust on old boots
The sparse filth on tired robust hands
And the hand me down boots
Impose on moments past

Then only would I see
All of the beautiful people
Who are around me.

What if the person I see when I look in the mirror is still just a blur?
Identity… What it means to you, maybe I cannot be.
