leland & gray

Verse 1:
I feel like this is all a dream
Somebody pinch me...
I’ve been waiting so long...
For you to finally tell me
All I wanted was for you to love me
And now the tears
Have finally dried
And my hearts ready
To survive
Chorus:
Now can I tell you what I wanted to tell you?
Now can you hold me, like I wished you would hold me?
Now can you kiss me like I dreamed you would kiss me?
Now can you tell me that you really love me?
And I’m going to tell you
Everything going to be all right...

I love you

As the force tries and pulls me away
I will always return to you
My hand in yours, your eyes on me
You told me you loved me

Confusing you for a good person

By Ashley Dufresne
Leland and Gray Union High School, Grade 9

There was something strong about you
That made me feel the way that I do
I thought of you as a person that I could always look to
You came into my life at the perfect time
Your smile, your touch, your gaze all of it was too much
It was that in which brightened the little light that I soon thought that I had lost
The way everything was all right when I was with you
I talked and you would listen
I would do the same for you
I never thought of you as more than just a friend
But it confused me whenever you would look at me, I couldn’t help but turn away
Every day my feelings for you would slowly grow
Every day I would learn more about you that I didn’t know
Seemed like you could pick me up whenever I was feeling down
I don’t know when my feelings changed from friends to wanting so much more
But as soon as I felt it the friendship flew out the door.

Pale blue eyes
Soft as the morning sun rise
Pale white skin
I get the feeling she’s holding something in
Mixes feelings all around
Getting blown from cloud to cloud
She yells and she cried
But she feels no one understands why
At school she feels all alone
Like a ghost lost in a all human world
She speaks but they all laugh
And now she’s afraid and keeps it bottled in
