When Hoss and I met and decided to take a stab at having a life together, I had written a poem to express how the relationship felt to me. I felt the urge to have a song created to go with the poem, as a gift for Hoss. He seemed to appreciate music more than poetry. I turned to cj for some guidance and he offered assistance. He happened to have some ideas laying around waiting for lyrics and thought he may have a good tune for my poem. We had to do a huge rewrite of the poem so the lyrics would flow with the music, but we were able to edit without losing the vibe and intensity of the words I had originally written.
Unfortunately, I am unable to show the considerable amount of editing that was done to the poem because the computer that possesses the original is fried, and I have no access to that file. I seriously doubt cj saved that poem once we finished editing. (cj, if by some wonderful lucky chance you do still have it laying around somewhere, please post it here)
With help from cj, suede pudding and Krispy, this tune was put together and dedicated to Hoss.
This tune was my first attempt at putting my poetry into song and I'm quite proud of how it turned out and very grateful to my friends for helping me.

Reason-(lyrics)
For every thought there’s two that include you.
The memories all around me of how it feels knowing you
The depths of destiny are swimming through my mind.
A possibility of hope I felt that I would never find.
Chorus
There have been days when I wanted to crawl away and die
Looking deep inside for a reason, another season to survive
I found a reason, it’s the dawn to a long cold night
Through life dark hard side , I see the light.
To bathe in childish laughter, the connection of two souls
A smile for our good fortune, cus I might not be alone
You’re heart is dear to me, I never had these feelings before
Your touch shoots through me, its your passion I adore.
Chorus
Little is easy and the hard times make us strong
But you’re so close to perfect, and you make me feel I belong
With every thought, please know that I love you.
Holding on to whats really real and how it feels knowing you.
Final chorus
