Goodnight:

I remember long ago when your voice always answered the phone
It was always quite clear just how you felt just by the tone
And so long ago i am not sure if I would ever have known
Just how quiet it got and how it became to be not one of your own

 It was our first Christmas day together I remember you most
 All the sparkles in your eyes, the lights, and candle lit posts
 I get lost in myself when I remember, and think of that now all alone
 As the sparkles and the old flames fade away like unwanted ghosts

 It seemed like yesterday everything was brand new and felt right
 And not long ago it was you, that I held, and loved thru the night
 Now everything has become so cold and dull never too bright
 Since the last time I heard your voice on the phone, saying goodnight

that is so nice, that gives me a lot of inspiration to keep trying, and i don't feel any one here should get a 1, after all it is not easy pouring your heart out and writing it on a wall
