I let the joy rise, from the ocean to the morning sky
And if the love falls, just remember
You've got to let the joy rise
There are no more times when I feel all alone
I reach down inside, feel the strength in my soul
I look to the skies, dry the tears from my eyes

Dear Girl,
i feel that the time has come for me to have a girlfriend.
i know you're out there somewhere. Don't worry i'll find you.
and when i do, i hope that you will love me because i'm me,
and not because i'm so-and-so's brother.
i hope you won't be embarrassed when my clothes don't match,
or be annoyed when i want to watch the Lakers on ESPN,
instead of Gilmore Girls.
i hope you remember i play soccer, not football,
and that i play midfield, not defense,
and that every weekend i live with my dad.
i pray that you'll love me despite my tendancy to forget birthdays,
and if your parents invite me to dinner,
please write their names really small on my hand so i can use it as reference.
Please know that i will constantly act strong and in control,
but inside i am actually lost and confused. (Just dont tell my friends).
Please don't worry if i hurt myself skateboarding.
Instead, be there to mend my wounds with kisses.
Understand that loving eachother means being together, but not all the time.
We should never bail on our friends.
Also understand that i may at times act jealous and overly protective,
but only because I have insecurities
not because you are doing anything wrong.
And if we fall out of love with one another, please don't hate me.
And if i cry in front of you, please dont laugh at me.
Please know that i am sensitive... in a manly, tough kind of way.
Please be honest with me without being hurtful. After all, i am a boy.
And i promise to always be honest with you, because you deserve honesty.
And i promise to open doors for you
and buy your tickets when we go to the movies.
And no, you aren't fat, so please don't constantly ask.
And you don't need make-up either.
Oh, and don't be upset if you cut your hair and i don't notice.
i will love you even in Levi's and a T-shirt.
i hope you don't think i'm asking too much of you.
I just want to be happy making you happy.
i'm coming to find you, so don't go anywhere.
Stay where you are, whoever you are...![]()

Dear Boy,
i do not know who you are, or where or when we will meet, but i do hope soon.
i pray that when we meet and fall inlove, you will love me, for me,
and not hope for someone who is thinner or prettier.
I hope that you will make me laugh,
take care of me if i get sick, and be trustworthy.
i hope you will remember that i prefer daisies to roses,
and that my favorite color changes with my mood.
Please know that my eyes arent blue, they're grey, with flecks of navy.
Please know that i might be too shy to kiss you first,
but please don't be afraid to kiss me.
i won't slap you you or push you away. i'm sure your kisses will be perfect.
when we go on a date, please don't stress about where to take me;
what's important is that i'll be with you.
If i cry, please know it isn't because of you,
just hold me close, and i'll heal quickly.
And, if it is because of you, i'll heal just the same.
And if we decide to break up, please understand that i may be bitter,
but i'd still like to be your friend if you'll let me.
i promise to remember that you have feelings too,
even though you'll never admit it,
and when you're ready we'll have a friendship.
Please tell me if anything i do bothers you,
or if something just doesnt sit right.
i would like you to always be true to me.
If i have a bad day, i hope you will shower me with confidence and smiles.
i hope you don't think that i'm asking too much of you.
i hope you understand that i'm a little bit nervous and very scared.
i wish i could tell you how or when we will meet, and if we will be inlove forever.
Every relationship is a new game of cards
and...(sigh)...i've never been at good cards.
But i'll try my best to be kind and love you dearly for all that you are,
without expecting too much from you.
Thank you for listening; this is all that i ask...![]()

I wish that I was the prettiest girl you knew
and even if I wasn't, you thought I was.
I wish I was the only one you wanted to be with
and if things didn't work out
You couldn't see yourself with anyone else.
I wish I was the first thing you thought about every morning
and the last thing you thought about right before you fell asleep.
I wish you could tell me everything
and I mean everything
I wish I was the one you just couldn’t take your eyes off of
and when you looked at me
I could tell how you felt by the look in your eyes
