Just one Important Person by Shawna Richmond
There's just one important person
I look up to each day.
Just one important person
who will show me the way.

This one important person
loves both you and I,
and if you live your life right
you'll see him when you die.

This one important person
is the one I love the best.
This one important person
is the one that loves all the rest.

This one important person
is always on my mind.
This one important person
I think I shall try and find.

This one important person
is one that we both know.
This one important person
made the wind, the rain, and snow.

This one important person
is with him you trod.
This one important person
I think you'll find is God.

Why I love You by Shawna Richmond
From time to time my mind drifts back
to where you stood alone,
we knew not of each other,
our love was then unknown.

But now that we are one
I think not of our past,
only of our future,
and how long ove will last.

The beauty of your love
takes away my breath,
your voice sounds within my ear
will follow me to my death.

Your proudness overwhelms me,
charm is in your ways,
your tenderness surrounds my nights
and leads me through my days.

But most of all the way you walk
impresses me the most,
the way you hold your head so high,
makes you stand out from the rest.

Of all the men in the world
you are all to me,
I'll stand up tall to be your queen
for all the world to see.

No matter what may happen,
No matter what you say,
No matter how you treat me,
I'll love you anyway.

You ask me why I love you,
it should be plain to see,
without your love beside me
I'm only half of me.

You never promised me the stars,
yet they appear within your eyes,
but these are only reasons
why your love I prize.

Love in return is all I ask,
with love you hold the key
to all my heart and soul
and possession of all of me.

The Guy I Love by Shawna Richmond
The guy I love is tall, dark, and handsome,
and it breaks my heart
everytime I pass him.
I love that guy though,
I ask myself why,
I just guess he is my kind of guy.
I hope and pray for the day to come
when my guy feels that I'm the one.
So I'll take my place at
the end of the line,
because I feel he is worth
all the waiting time.

No Longer by Shawna Richmond
No longer do I receive any calls from you,
No longer do I walk down the halls thinking of you,
No longer do I have time to spend with you.
No longer can I call you mine because of you.
No longer for anything you see,
No longer are you going with me.
It didn't even hurt you.
No longer is my life filled with joy,
it all came from you.
No longer am I going with you and,
boy I really miss you
No longer do they tell me to stop crying now,
I'm crying because of you.
No longer do I ask myself why and how,
Now I'm asking you.

How Can I get Through to You by Shawna Richmond
I was just sitting here wondering
about all the things I could do
to make you see how much I care,
tell me how to get through to you.

There's something special about you
I just don't know what it could be
but I can't give up my trying
cause you're really worth it to me.

I feel as if I've known you forever
though I've known you just a short time.

I love just being around you
I can't keep you off my mind.
I guess I did come on a little bit strong.

My feelings got the best of me.
I'm hoping someday we'll get together,
but I don't know when that day will be.

Like I said you can't blame me for
trying to hook onto a guy like you
you're a little bit hard to understand,
but then I am too.

If I've been boring you all this time,
I wish you'd tell me so.
Sure it'll hurt but what can I say
I really do want to know.

I'm not going to stay away from you
though I sometimes wish I could.
I won't bug you like before,
incase you thought I would.

I'll let this end with one short line
to let you know how I feel.
If I had one wish in this whole world
it's that my dreams turn out real.

Thinking of You by Shawna Richmond
Someone cares about you,
someone worries too,
someone lies awake at night
Thinking of you.

Someone wakes each morning
someone wonders too,
someone shreds a million tears
Thinking of you.

Someone's days seem longer,
someone's nights are blue,
someone's life has really changed,
Thinking of you.

Someone wants to tell you,
someone whose love is true,
someone will always be here
Thinking of you.

Someone watches your footsteps,
someone guides you too
someone is your crush
Thinking of you.

You Gave Him Love by Shawna Richmond
You go through life alone and very blue
then one day you find love, or did
it find you?

You sing inside and a smile stays on your face,
you picture yourself walking down the isle
in white silk and lace.

You found the man you understand,
as he does you.
You give him all your love
and believe his is true.

Then one day you find that
he is no longer there,
if he loved you so much,
how could he no longer care?

You cry till there are no tears,
you still hurt inside,
you want to run away,
but there's no place to hide.

You want to run after him and say,
"I Love You."
But under the circumstances,
there's nothing you can do.

So you go on hurting and whisper
a silent plead.
"I'll love you forever and a day
please come back to me.

Dreaming by Shawna Richmond
Once upon a dream,
I wished for you to come to me.
Hoping and praying for the day to come
when you saw I was the one.

I once believed that one day you would come,
but now I see I must not be the one.
So I will let this end with one short line,
today is the day I'll say good-bye.

My Love for You by Shawna Richmond
I'm lying here thinking of you,
I feel so empty.
I give you all my love,
but none of yours do I get in return.

Today I saw you hugging her,
I didn't know what to do with myself.
You say there's nothing between you and her,
but I'm not sure anymore.

Why can't I just give up with you?
I know things will never go how I plan them,
yet I keep trying.
When will I open my eyes?

You by Shawna Richmond
I feel so alone,
so empty and unloved.
I once believed I had a chance with you,
but as time passed by I gave up on ever having you.
I find myself back where I started,
again believing that if I pray enough,
you will come to me.
I don't know why I try so hard
for things that will never come.

Today by Shawna Richmond
Today I didn't understand you,
and it worried me becauseI usually do.
I don't know if you were trying to make me jealous,
cause if you were it worked.

My dream is for you to see me
as I see you.
Some days I get my hopes up,
that my dream will turn out real.
Then I realize my mind was blown
and see that my dream is only a dream,
and that's how it will always stay.

God Knows Best by Shawna Richmond
As we go through life and face
all the trials.
And through all of our tests,
just remember God knows best.
When we lose a battle and a fight
pray to God for his help and might.
He'll give you strength to go on,
to win the next fight,
remember God knows best.
When we lose a loved one
who is so dear
and we can't keep back the tears
and our hearts are broken in two.
Remember God knows best,
and he once last his son too.
He gave his life to all of us.
So someday we could all meet again,
when we meet we'll remember,
God knows best.
When things happen and we
don't understand
pray and trust and obey for
God knows best.

Dear God by Shawna Richmond
As I kneel at my bed at night,
at the end of every day.
I bury my head in my trembling hands,
and tears fall as I pray.

Dear God, unworthy as I am,
I ask one thing of thee,
bless this one I love tonight,
help him remember me.

Dear God, he's only human
when the weary day is done,
he may not realize the hurt he cause
when he turned the other way.

Not always can I go to him,
and take him by his hand,
but God, you can get to him,
and make him understand.

Just help him keep me in his thoughts
and soon we meet again,
and even though we are apart,
I love him God, amen.

Memories of You by Shawna Richmond
Beside the window sill
is where I sit and weep.
I think of all the good times
and wish you were here with me.

You believed in me
when I thought no one ever would.
You understood,
when things just weren't working out.

Today when I needed you the most,
is the day you chickened out.
I don't know why or how,
I only wish I knew.

What is Love? by Shawna Richmond
Love is gentleness,
wanting to give more then you get.
Love is knowing when,
to forgive and forget.
Love is sharing him,
with anyone but a lover.
Lov is talking and
coping with life together.
Love is turning tears
into laughter before the night is through.
Love is making up
after each and every fight.
Love is trust and faith,
without any kind of doubt.
Love is making sure
he does not so without.
Love is letting go
if he wants to say good-bye.
Love is there or not,
his love won't grow
because you cry.
Love is living on
if God takes him from this earth.
Love is believing
he wanted you to love your worth.
Love is intimate
no one needs to know what you do.
Love is respecting
his need for privacy too.
Love is contentment
when needed you're always there.
Love is coming him
to his warm and loving care.
Love is learning how
to accept him as he is.
Love is giving in
to the pleasures that are his.
Love is being sure
that his love is strong and true.
Love is facing the facts
he must do all these things for you.
Love is feeling safe
as he holds you before falling asleep.
Love is touching him
at dawn when dreams make you weep.
Love is "I Love you"
whispered with each good-night kiss.
Love is giving all,
is there a better way then this?

Unperfect by Shawna Richmond
I once thought my life was perfect,
but see how wrong I was.
My friends were there for me,
and understood how life went.

I thought I had a chance with him,
but now see I was wrong.
He's a nice guy,
but now he's with her.

Having somebody to talk to,
was never a problem,
till your best friend stops talking to you,
and you feel so full of things to say,
and no one to say them to.

They say crying is healthy,
but not when you're me.
Crying seems to make
things worse.

If life was so perfect,
how could it turn so terrible?

UNTITLED by Shawna Richmond
I'm clueless
on where my life is going
and where my life has been.
Things keep happening
my life gets worse and worse.

I'm alone and feel very empty.
My best friend leaves me,
where I can't find myself let alone another.
Guys go for looks nowadays,
again I'm left behind,
If guys would open their eyes
maybe they can see the inner beauty of us all.

I don't know what to do anymore,
I only wish I did.
I wish life were easier,
and we all got along,
and learn from others mistakes.

UNTITLED by Shawna Richmond
Last night I realized it,
you are no longer my friend.
I thought you'd always be there,
but I guess I was wrong.

I miss being around you,
I miss being your friend.
Why did my life
turn for the worst?

You say obsession is
apart of it.
Well, all I can say
is why would there be obsession?

You're so rude to me yet,
I still want to be your friend.
Everybody wonders,
what goes through my mind.

You Were by Shawna Richmond
You were the first
person I'd turn to
when there was
a problem I
just couldn't solve.

You were my
best friend who
would always
listen to what I
had to say.

You were the
one who always
understood when
my life was a
muffled, muddy, mess.

You were the one
person who resembled
the world to me.
The world no longer
talk to me, and
I long to wonder why.

Life by Shawna Richmond
I often wonder
what I ever did.
I often wonder,
what I ever said.

Things change
as life goes on.
Some for the good,
while others for the bad.

Worries are,
never the same.
Fears tend
to worsen.

Friends change,
boyfriends change,
time changes,
life goes on.

Thinking by Shawna Richmond
Last night
I was thinking...
I can't stand to see you with her.
Frankly, I can't stand
to see you with anyone.
I want to be with you,
but I just don't know
how to say it.
I wish life was as
easy as it was back
in kindergarden.
Your friends were always
the same and you
weren't afraid to speak
your mind. Life gets
harder stay young
while you can.

UNTITLED by Shawna Richmond
As I sit and think
I feel used and upset.
One night you're with me,
the next with her.

I believed I really
had a chance with you.
But yet again,
I'm left with heartbroken.

Do you understand
how hurt you have left me?
It seems I always,
end up hurt and so alone.

When will I understand?

UNTITLED by Shawna Richmond
I'm lost
in my own tears.
I feel as if
I'm always left
with a broken heart.

I try so hard
for something I could never have.

When I finally open my eyes
to realize, I
hope there's somebody
there to help show
me the way.

When will I learn? by Shawna Richmond
Crying seems to be
the only thing I do
anymore.

When will I learn?
Nobody will ever love me.

Crying is my way
of venting but it's getting
old.

When will I learn?
Life can go on without me.

Crying because of him
why can't he see my
love?

When will I learn?
Why can't I learn?

Life by Shawna Richmond
Life,
it's becoming harder
and harder.

Life,
endless problems day
after day.

Life,
learning, loving, caring,
losing.

UNTITLED by Shawna Richmond
As I sit I
begin to wonder,
how long things,
will last.

The way you
look at me,
makes me realize
how much you care.

I'd like to think
that you'll be in my
forever, but the way
my life is I don't see it happening.

For now I only
have one thing to say,
I will love you forever
and a day.

UNTITLED by Shawna Richmond
Thinking always leads
to crying,
yet I still continue
to think.

I think about the
many friends I've lost.
I think about how
long life will last,
and how long love will last.

My life confuses me,
and everyone around me.
I don't know what to do anymore
and I'm lost in my own tears.

UNTITLED by Shawna Richmond
As I lie awake
I wonder...
why someone
like you with me?

I once dreamed
for someone like you,
but I gave up
on all hopes and dreams.

I often think about
how we first met,
and how we
got together.

Now I wonder,
if we never met
would I still be
alone forever?

My Feelings for you by Shawna Richmond
I'm trying to figure
out how I can
put this into words,
to show you how I feel.

Those beautiful blue eyes,
and brown hair,
are always on my mind.

I love just being around you,
you seem to bring my
spirits up and my worries disappear.

You're so caring and considerate too.
I only wish you could
understand how much I care about you.

Just remember that
if anyone shall break
your heart,
I will always be here for you.
