Item 1: poem

Thinking Of You

I was thinking of you just a short while 

I missed your sweet kiss, and I loved your precious smile

I was just thinking of you and your beautiful eyes

Just looking into mine, They’ll tell no lies

I was thinking of you when I felt my heart ache

I wish I had your love, A love that will never break

I was thinking of you holding on to me

The way I felt, The way it could be

I was thinking of you to tell you I’d try

To give you pure love, Till'’ the day that I die

I was thinking of you letting me care

Just to let you know, I’ll always be there.

Item 3: Song

"Hurt"

Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face

You told me how proud you were but I walked away

If only I knew what I know today

I would hold you in my arms

I would take the pain away

Thank you for all you've done

Forgive all your mistakes

There's nothing I wouldn't do

To hear your voice again

Sometimes I want to call you but I know you won't be there

I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do

And I've hurt myself by hurting you

Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit

Sometimes I just want to hide 'cause it's you I miss

You know it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this

Would you tell me I was wrong?

Would you help me understand

? Are you looking down upon me?

Are you proud of who I am?

There's nothing I wouldn't do

To have just one more chance

To look into your eyes and see you looking back

I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do

And I've hurt myself

If I had just one more day, I would tell you how much that

I've missed you since you've been away

Oh, it's dangerous

It's so out of line to try to turn back time

I'm sorry for blaming you for everything

I just couldn't do And I've hurt myself

By hurting you
