One Summer ' s Eve I saw you there one summer ' s eve alone with your own thoughts, you stood so near and yet so far for me to share mv dreams with thee. You tried so hard to love me still and say you ' d never leave, but I saw your pain and felt you need to live and yet be free To keep you now would be a sin so your love I said I ' d never need, but vou my friend I can ' t deceive for you ' re all I have and all I ' ll ever be. — Nancy Estrada no ttt ( ( HC . . . ut n c t ttat I finally found someone Someone 1 could care for Someone to share my love But now you ' re gone Someone to talk with Someone to walk with But now you ' re gone Someone to hear my dreams Someone to be here for me But now you ' re gone. Someone to share the glory Someone to share the pain But now you ' re gone. Gone but not forgotten You ' ve left your mark Now I cry in the dark Your love is like a circle It begins but never ends I hope my broken heart mends. If I don ' t see your smile I wonder all the while I wonder how I still live on I have no real ambition I won ' t get very far Because now there ' s no star To light up my darkened road. Can my broken heart be sewed? Is a question I ask For it would be a difficult task Push your way on Leave me here to bleed Go on with your own creed Just hold yourself together And do what ' s for the better I ' ll stay here and try to mind my heart that seems to have fallen apart Now I ' ve realized my fate And you say it ' s too late It went too fast No wonder it didn ' t last If I had a second chance In your life I would dance But gradually, slow. Theron M 156 Creativity Section Something has come between us. It ' s formed a space within. 1 look at you and look away. Something is making me so afraid. Afraid that I will lose you. But there is nothing for me to do. This space is one of silence. And silence alone can kill. A broken heart is what I fear, I don ' t wish to cry that lonesome tear. This thing that ' s come between us. It makes me so unsure. This thing that ' s come between us, is her. — JLT YOU You opened your heart and You, through our problem , You taught me to care Taught me to cope You were special in ways To go on believing and not — 1 like things that are rare C;ive up hope You taught me of love and You taught me to laugh The games people play: As well as to cry — The ones that can hurt and You taught mv to hurt Drive love away. l-rom the times that you ' d lie You taught me to be able to You taught me to love and Look deep inside.

Now the time has come for me to be on my own, I am no longer a child, I ' m supposed to be full grown . These lessons of life are many yet so few, there is so much to see, and so much to do. Looking back on what I have done, I reali e that my life has only just begun, and when I look back on my past, I wish those four years hadn ' t gone by so fast. — Michelle Courtois The road we travelled, was both long and wide, sometimes it was tough, but you stood by my side. Memories and unity, is what made this class the best, we were the ones responsible, for setting a good example for the rest. Our Freshman year was hectic, we were always pushed around, but in each individual, love and understanding was found. as Sophomores we were growing. 158 Creativity Section
