Leap Of Faith

Learning to trust again is a leap of faith.

Okay

Are you okay?

I am okay. ~•°•~ I am okay to know that you're happy It's not because of me. ~•°•~ I am okay to watch you grow It's not with me. ~•°•~ I am okay to see you smile It's not for me. ~•°•~ I am okay to know you're in love It's no longer with me. ~•°•~ I am ok...

Consumed

It only takes once

It calls out to you Begs you Try Me Try Me You know you want to It whispers I'll take all your pain away You try it once You swear that's it you think you’re in control Then you try it again and again It takes over your being It calls to you More More You...
