Array ( [sid] => 123630 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Shooting Star [time] => 2006-07-24 09:00:24 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I tried to write you a letter
I tried to find the things that were right to say
I guess for the first time in my life
I'd rather keep my mouth shut today

Because I have no other reason
The fact that I lost myself and you
I destroyed something that meant something
Even if you don't think its true

I am grateful for the time spent
Even if most of it for you was a waste
Things didn't turn out the way you deserved
But you're young and you've got a pretty face

I'm intrigued by your integrity
I wish I could be there to watch you grow
I just wanted to get out of here
But I never let you know

I miss all the things in the beginning
And am almost grateful for the end
I never meant to break your heart
And would do anything I could to help it mend

I will move to Africa
Or some island that no one even knows
I will sit on the island
And sit and watch as the time goes

I want you to be happy
And am proud to see that you are
I want you to not hate me forever
Just to smile when you see your shooting star
