• What are you like?
    they tell me im like you.
    does that mean i will end the same way you died?
    will i be murdered?
    or die of a heart attack?
    i hope its not by cancer.
    will i do what you have done?
    have a spouce?
    a family?

    they tell me im like you.
    did you ever want to travel to a distant land?
    and live there for some years?
    did you want to get a job?
    and spread the stories for everyone to enjoy?
    did you want to find the love of your life?
    and maybe have a family with them?
    did you ever feel a presence around you?
    even when your all alone?
    did you ever cry because you lost some one before you got to know them,
    because they never got to start their life?
    did you ever cry because you heard their voice call your name,
    beconing you to come to them?
    did you ever feel like crying,
    because you are holding a new life in your arms?
    did you ever want to protect them from everything,
    almost like not letting them grow up?
    did you ever hold back tears reading how so many people died,
    while others laughed at you?
    did you ever want to be heard,
    or be loved by your family?

    what are you like?
    they tell me im like you.
    maybe you wanted to share your knowledge
    with the little ones.
    maybe you wanted to have fun with them
    while they were still so innocent.
    maybe you wanted to listen to them sing their hearts out
    or see them happy and fulfiled with pride of what they did or made.
    maybe you wanted to hug them
    and never let them go.
    because if you did you'd feel like you lost the most important thing in the world.
    maybe you wanted to spend some nights playing video games
    and let them win a couple of times.

    what are you like?
    they tell me im like you.
    maybe if you were around
    you'd stop the comparing.
    the pain i feel when they dont know me at all.
    maybe if you were around i could experence life again,
    with the people i lost
    before i got to love them.
    maybe if you were around i wouldn't be crying
    while i write how much i feel for you.
    maybe if you were around i could ask you what your life was like,
    and see things from you point.
    maybe if you were around i could hold my head up high
    because i was some one great in your eyes.
    maybe if you were around i could have a nice warm hug
    to shake the pain of the days.
    maybe if you were around you could see me grow up
    and she how different i was
    instead of being compared to you.

    what are you like?
    they tell me im like you.

    what are you like?
    why am i compared to you?
    what are you like?
    why cant they see im diferent than you?
    what are you like?
    who are you?
    why arent you here
    with me?
    who are you?
    i wish i could be left in piece,
    instead of being compared to.
    instead of being ignored.
    instead of being un-loved.
    instead of having an empty space in my heart,
    where you could have filled it.
    instead of feeling lonely
    and unwanted by my family.
    instead of being isolated by blood.

    maybe if you were here
    i could have been at peace.
    maybe if you were here
    i could have lived longer.
    maybe if you were here
    i could feel loved.
    maybe if you were here
    i could feel happy....
    like i did before i learned of you.



    but i want you to know.....
    i never wish i hadn't learned of you.
    i always wished for you to come back.
    i always wished to meet you.
    i always will love you,
    even if we havent met.
    i will never forget you.

    i hope that:
    you will wait for me.
    i will meet you.
    they were wrong...
    that im more like me.
    you will love me...even if you dont
    i will love you.
