To the love of my life...


I never thought I'd fall in love again, until I met you. The woman in my dreams right before my eyes. Twelve years was not enough for us. We were just getting started. The time with you was perfectly imperfect and I would do it all over again - with you. This song came from the heart and is dedicated to us.

Shattered Dreams


I fell in love with you

Like it was the first time

For what we hoped was a lifetime 

Our togetherness seemed like foreverness 

Until the moment you were taken from me

One last kiss, one last touch

Now I stand alone 

On the edge of uncertainty 

Staring into the abyss

Feeling left behind

Unable to pick up the pieces 

Of our shattered dreams

Trying to make sense of my new reality 

Pulling myself from the wreckage

Then looking up to the light 

Piercing through the dark clouds

Raindrops on my forehead

Cleansing my tortured soul

Feeling left behind

Trying to pick up the pieces 

Of our shattered dreams

I loved you so deeply 

With an open heart 

That carries the remnants 

Of what once was 

Into a new life of what could be

Open to possibilities 

Traveling down the path of life

With memories of you within me

Until the end of time

Feeling left behind

Cherishing the pieces 

Of our shattered dreams

Feeling left behind

Cherishing the pieces 

Of our shattered dreams
