ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
I started writing songs and poems about 2 years ago, and I will admit, most of them sucked. After a while, I lost inspiration and had so much going on and just stopped writing. I have finally recently gotten back to writing, and at first, what inspired me was illness and fighting through and I started writing about it. Now I think I'm getting better at writing, and will start posting new ones soon. [September 2010]

That Picture Erica Young
Verse 1:
How I long for a love to last through all life’s heartaches.
I can not live a life searching in bitterness,
So I wait patiently for love to reach my heart.
The promise of one is kept precious in me as I long for what will come.
I melt when I feel your eyes on me, then remember you don’t know—
You don’t know me yet.
You don’t see me, but I look at that picture and see your eyes searching—
Searching for someone who makes complete sense.
Chorus:
That picture holds all the hope of love left in this world.
Could I be this way without you? No way…
I wait for our face-to-face and don’t let doubt overcome me.
Without that picture, no promise could live in my heart.
Without you and every chance I get to see your face and hear your voice,
I would be nobody.
Verse 2:
That picture hanging on my wall—hanging on my heart.
That picture is of you, the only one on my mind.
You’re the only one I can dream of day and night.
Another crosses my path and I almost lose hope in you.
They try to come close, but you still manage to be the only one.
That picture is all I have of you—
The closest I’ve been to gazing into your eyes and letting you know the truth.
That picture keeps me holding onto you and what may come.
Chorus
Verse 3:
My entire outlook changed that very first moment.
The moment I found you—your picture.
Everything I wanted, everything I loved, was realized.
I was blinded by expectations of the world.
Then, I saw that picture of you that led to so much more.
An unexpected love and passion.
Could this be real?
No one in my reach could ever capture my heart because it already belongs to you.
I think of you and how far away you are
Then I look at that picture of you and
realize if it’s meant to be, nothing can keep us apart.
Bridge:
Yes, that picture holds my heart and this belongs to you.
Every word and note is given to you till I see you in front of my eyes at last.
I hold that picture close until your face lies before me
Chorus
That picture started it all…
Please hold on and never lose yourself.
Never lose that picture of you…

"Nice stuff! Although I must say that I want to hear about really personal things. Is that weird? It's just that we all feel the same 'big' feelings: 'Love', 'Hate' 'Sadness' etc. but I like specifics. What did you think, what colour is is hair etc. Like that song by the pixies: "His teeth were white as snow" Man, that's fuckin brilliant lyrics" -- m sowerby.
