Travis has written so many things for me it's not even funny.
Posting all of it right here. Right now. Because I have everything he's ever written to me. All saved onto my computer. And all of it makes me smile. All of it.

"Believe"

V1: I have this girl that blows my mind.
I laugh when I speak with her all the time.
With a smile like a dime and a crazy-a** stare, I'd take this girl with me anywhere.
She smiles even though she can be in pain.
She lets herself take all the blame.
But I can make her grin when she's so conflicted within, and then she laughs and it's alright again.

Chorus: I'm never gonna let you go, never ever. I'm always gonna show, that I'll be here forever. I'm not the best ideal kind of guy, and I know that we pass each other by, but that don't even matter; believe it don't matter.

V2: I have this sister that makes my world.
She's definitely not like other girls.
She's got a kick-a** room with a window at the right, so I can watch her when she's sleeping tight.
She sometimes feels like she's all alone.
I gotta show her she's not on her own.
She's amazing without explaining, and she's so pretty my mind is ringing.

(Chorus)

Bridge: No matter where she goes, I have eyes everywhere.
I watch her all the time to make sure I can be there.
I'm there in spirit; I'm the warmth in your pillow.
Believe me, I wanted to stay. Believe; I never wanted to go.

(Chorus x2)

"End of the World"

V1: The end of the world don't mean nothing to me, girl. I've got the whole world on lock. I've got everything you need if you call upon me, girl. Just come to my door and knock. You see, the best thing about happiness is that it can be shared. And I give it to you in this song to show you exactly how much I cared.

Chorus: The stars have nothing to say, that I can't say. The sun has got nothing to shine, that's brighter than you. The world can end on a dime. It won't take a bit of my time, if my time is spent on you.

V2: The end of the world could only become, girl, if you put another in my place. I promise you that you'll never find someone like, girl, like me; just look at my face. When I look at yours I see the cause of my neverending struggle for perfection. Just to be like you for a day, I'd give up my life's goal and direction.

(Chorus)

Bridge: The world doesn't know what I cannot show. The Gods and the angels got nothin' on me. I'm right here. And you can cry. Your tears won't chase me away.

(Chorusx2)

"Jennifer"

V1: I love waking up in the evening when it's thunderstorming. I love staying up all night until I'm sure it's morning. I love cuddling next to you; you don't mind my snoring. I love my eggs always sunny-side up. I love old-fashioned things and beautiful glass tea-cups. I love this life that I have and I can never get enough.

Pre-Chorus: Oh, if you could see what I see.

Chorus: This life is beautiful. This life is worth living. This world is half full, while I am running on empty. It all will end one day, but I'm here to say that till then, I don't give a damn. This life is perfect for me, and..

V2: I love getting random messages when I'm not there. I love holding you tight just like a teddy bear. I love how you can stand me. My flaws? You don't even care. I love awesome parties with stupid friends. I love laughter before a conversation begins. I love starting over before it ever gets a chance to end.

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

Bridge: I love this life. I love the sound of your laughter; it makes me feel alive. I love this life. I don't wanna think about what happens after... I just wanna hear your laughter.

(Chorusx2)

"Sleeping Together."

V1: I lie here naked. My pride's been stripped away. I've got nothing to say. My brain's been taken. And it's been picked apart. It matches with my heart. You're all I can think of. You're what my heart beats are made of.

Chorus: The pattern of my heart skips when the tears crash down. My mood begins to sink; my face begins to frown. I wasn't there to catch it, or answer your call. And that's all I can think of, trying to catch your fall.

V2: You lie there naked. Your heart's been ripped to shreads. This life I know you dread. But my arms are open. They are warm and always here, I love you Jenna, dear. You're all I can think of. You're what my dreams are made of.

(Chorus)

Bridge: I'll let you rest on my chest and breathe. I just wanna smile and watch you sleep. I'll follow your ever whim. You can sleep on my chest and just... live.

(Chorusx2)

You're what my heart beats are made of. You're what my heart beats are...

"You Better"

V1: You better hold her tight. You better love her well. You better pull her under your love spell. You better make sure that she feels loved. You'd better make sure she feels it, because...

Chorus: She deserves to be treated right. She deserves to be held at night. She deserves to feel beautiful. She deserves to be wanted by you. She deserves to be loved too! She deserves to be your world, cause she is that special of a girl.

V2: You better whisper sweet nothings in her ear. You better tell everything that she wants to hear. You better kiss her when she cries. You better make sure she doesn't sleep alone at night.

(Chorus)

Bridge: She deserves to be loved, so you better hold her and know you're lucky cause... I wanted to be the one to make her smile, to make her laugh, to help her when she falls apart... But since you get to take my place, you'd better never break her heart.

(Chorusx2)

"Saved Me"

V1: I'll never believe that I'm worth anything at all. You could tell me a thousand times and it won't break my fall. I wanted to get rid of myself, but you saved me.

Chorus: I stare at my bible and I shake my head, and I drink myself sober in my bed, and though I want to, you saved me. I smoke that cancer in my hand, and I know that I must sound so bland, but though I want to, you saved me. I wanted it to end, but you saved me.

V2: I'll never believe how you always put up with me. You always forgive and you always stand right beside me. I wanted to kill all that's left of me, but you were there.

(Chorus)

[-END-]
-----
"Hello"

V1: Hello, I see you standing there with the smile of the sun in your hair, and the hands of the air around your ankles. Hello, I see you waving there without a single care; I don't know where you came from.

Pre-Chorus: But you bring the light where there is dark. I want to know more.

Chorus: You're the dimple in my cheek when I'm smiling in my sleep. You're the twinkle in my eye when I start to cry. You're the light in the dark, you sing like a lark. This is a play and you've got the perfect part, whoa, you hold my heart.

V2: Hello, I see you give a smile and I know that for a little while you'll be shy; I'll make sure to bring you out. Hello, I see you laugh contently and suddenly I know just where you and me belong.

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

Bridge: Hello hello. Never say goodbye. Never say goodbye to me. Always, always say hello. Greet the day with a smile that can light up the world.

(Chorus)

Bridge2: Hello hello. Never say goodbye. Never.. Always... always say hello... You can light up MY world.

"A Song"

V1: I'm writing you a song, but I don't know where to start. I want it to be special. I want it to speak to your heart. As my fingers dance upon the keyboard, I understand. I understand now what I was put on this earth for.

Pre-Chorus: I'm here to tell you I love you. I'm here to stay right above you; always one step ahead so you don't fall.

Chorus: Shut off the program and hit eject. This is the song I made and I know it's not perfect. It probably isn't what you wanted for real. But this is how, how you make me feel.

V2: I'm writing you a verse, and it's the second one to go. I need to fill it up with love quotes and paint it with a rainbow. As my mind churns the wheels, I understand. I understand now how I make you feel.

Pre-Chorus: I make you feel the magic, though the circumstances are tragic. Just know I'll never let you drown.

(Chorusx2)

"Broken"

V1: You're like a delicate piece of pottery. I hold you gently, gently and tightly to me. But my fingers have slipped one too many times. You've smashed into pieces the size of dimes.

Chorus: And I know you're broken. I pour my heart open, but I cannot save you. You're broken. Take this as a token, of my love for you. I wanted to save you.

V2: I try to pick up the pieces again. No, you cannot go, you cannot leave.. my friend. The sharp edges cut my skin but I don't care. Why does it hurt this way? Why don't I feel the silk of your hair?

(Chorus)

Bridge: I hold the pieces softly to my chest. You're not alone now, so I hope for the best. Whenever I try to glue you back together, I scream in pain because love never lasts forever.

Chorus2: And I know you're broken. I poured my heart open, but it was not enough. Now I'm broken. Take this as a token, of my dying love. I wanted to save you.

[-END-]

"Seeing Her Cry"

V1: I would stand at your window with flowers all for you. And I would stand until the roses died, just to smell your perfume. I know I'm not perfect, but I can try. I'll be better. I promise I'll write you letters. I can't stand to see you cry.

Pre-Chorus: And it kills me inside, to make these wounds I cannot hide.

Chorus: Maybe if you were me, you would see why I can't look in the mirror. And maybe if you were me, you would know why I can't stand to see her... cry.

V2: I would write you love songs; one each day. And I would hope and pray that they would take your breath away. I know I'm not perfect, but I still try. I'll love you more. I promise you'll get cards galore, cause I don't need to see you cry.

Pre-Chorus: And whenever I see him, I wish I could kill him.

(Chorus)

Bridge: I look into the mirror and I feel blinded. What is it in me? He makes her cry, and everytime he does, I wish he would... die.

(Chorusx2)

[-END-]

“Built To Break”

V1: I don't know how to put this. I never knew how much I needed you, until you left my side. And I wish I could send you a kiss, cause I want you to know I need you; I feel empty inside.

Pre-Chorus: Staring at your picture, I wonder why you're missing. Something's not right.

Chorus: Please look past my mistakes. I love you for Heaven's sake. Without you, I'm broken, and I wasn't built to break. Please see that I'm pleading. You can't see it but inside I'm bleeding. Without you, I'm a mess, but it's not always what you're seeing.

V2: You probably think I don't care. But you are like a symphony that lays my nightmares back to sleep. And I sometimes get scared, that one day you'll get rid of me. I feel lost and in too deep.

Pre-Chorus: Staring at old archives, I wonder why I ever got mad. Nothing's alright.

(Chorus)

Bridge: I cry and I don't know why anymore. The things that become said leave me with aching sores. The arguments we have cut me in so deep. I know you are mad at me but, I still dream about you when I sleep...

(Chorusx2)

Outro: I cry and I just want you to know.. I cry and I just want you to know.. even while I weep.. I think of you in my sleep..

"The Line"

Walking down the line
That seperates what I define
As a desperate attempt at companionship
And more than just love
I begin to slide
Off the edge towards one side
To only realize that I'll never quit this
And the suffering that comes with it
I need to be strong for you
I need to be there for you
Because if I don't then who..
Will?
I need to be everything
I need to be anything
Something good enough to bring..
You closer to me
I'm walking down the line
And as I fall to one side
I wonder if you've done the same
I wonder if I am to blame
I'm selfish and I'm wrong
I hide it all through song
Cut me and I will bleed lyrics
Of everything I've wrote
To make you belong
I need to be there
I need you right here
Because if you're not near..
Who is?
I need to dry your tears
I need to stop your fears
The nightmares that keep you in second gear
I swear I'll drive them away some.. day
Until then I'll just sway
From side to side
Waiting for you to cry my name
When you're broken, when you're insane
When you're lose, when you're behind
I'll come to you
I'll leave the line
-----
"If you could let me see the mess that they have made, I'd make sure you had a home; you would be saved. I'd keep you here with me till the break of dawn. It's where you belong, it's here in my arms."
-----
"Even though I'm far away, you're always there savin' me. I wanted to be that someone that you're with, but I'm cool the way it is. Just know that I'd come for you, and that you'll never be alone, and if today was your last day, you would know that I always think of you when I see your photograph. I'm not sure that I've completely figured you out, but I know that someday I'm gonna meet you. Maybe when I'm a famous rock star or something."
-----
"A whisper, a spark, a howl from the dark awakens my eyes to all that's before me. How can this one adore me? I feel like a mistake and I cannot break because it's wrong and if I do, forgive me for my song of sorrows that I've become. When you've come undone the world let's on it's entire weight on your shoulders and then you feel a heavy wind and your feet are off balance. So much hatred and malice, but you stand there. I'm not alone here. Your arms aren't strong but they're strong enough. You're there when the times are hard and rough. You know my nature and power by the hour and you know how much I can take before I break. So all I ask is that you do this on your own. Don't worry about me; with you I'll never be alone."

"I know this girl named Jennifer. She is so pretty.~ But she will never admit it. God, it's such a pity.~ She's got a great personality all the while,~ And man that girl knows how to make me smile.~ x]"

I love you Travis. More than even I can comprehend.
Because I am dumb. Like...my sister, the herg, dumb.
That is ******** dumb ._.
