I've got my favourite music.
Let it rain all day all night.
I'll never be alone again.

I wonder how many poems I'll have to write till I fully realized that you will never be mine
How many tears will fall to the ground
Telling myself I'm okay with the reality of the fact you will never see me as more than a friend
How many days will I spend day dreaming about you in my arms till I realize that you are in his
I wonder when you'll realize that all that you do is make me confused
How many hours will I spent wishing you were mine
How many days will it take me to move on
How many months does it take a hopeless romantic to leave their love alone
How many conversations will my friends have to endure for me to say I don't want you anymore
How many times will you kiss my forehead goodbye before I see I'm a toy to you
How many late night texts will it take me to realize that I'm not yours and you're not me
I wonder how long it will take me to move on
I wonder how long it will take you to move on from what we had
As I sit here all alone
in the silence of night,
Overwhelmed by the moments
of darkness in our life,
With all my heart,
I struggle to keep up the fight,
To keep holding on to you
until we can see the light.
I’ve heard your cries
and tasted your tears,
I’ve suffered your pain
and all of your fears.
With all my heart,
I’ve loved you through
some of the worst of our years.
Tonight my eyes are filled
with salt and water
from all our sorrow.
but,
Even still, one day,
with all my heart,
I hope to love and hold you
in a better tomorrow.
I found this four-leaf clover.
With love I'm giving it to you.
May your dreams come true.

Merry Christmas little dove
My heart, my gift to you in love
Merry Christmas bluebird fair
Take it, treat it with due care
Merry Christmas vanilla rose
Let it all of you enclose
Merry Christmas butterfly
Never will it say goodbye
I love you with
all my heart and my soul
There is not a day that I do not
cry for this love lost to dark death
I have asked the air every day
but it is silent as your tomb
I go so often with red
roses like the ones
you used to give
to me. Oh, I
am lost in
tears
*
I love you with all my heart
Only you from the start
Since you're gone, I was empty
Chasing your memory
And the shine of your smile
That could go for a mile
I only live to love You, Lord, with all my heart
Being Your child whom You redeemed by wondrous grace
Since You declared Your love for me right from the start
Enclosing my soul around Your compassion’s embrace.
As recipient of Your everlasting life seal
I only live to love You, Lord, with all my heart
Nurtured with Your mercy and wondrous kindness’ zeal
From Your perfect blest will I should never depart.
Surmounting trial-challenges and testing dart
My spirit stays triumphant amidst serene bliss
I only live to love You, Lord, with all my heart
Having Your promise in my well-being abyss.
Marked by great loyalty of fidelity zest
My faith does grow stronger along Your truth rampart
Fortifying my trust and covenant, so blest
I only live to love* You, Lord, with all my heart.
Lyric in modified quatern form
*1John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 1John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.

With all My Heart
The presence of your love cracks open the cage;
the warmth of your heart melts that inner ice age.
Your steadfast love brings me out of that trance;
I feel my heart beat, my soul starts to dance.
Your beauty blazes forth before my eyes,
within and without, you light up the skies!
In loving humility I take your hand,
and dance forth in love, across the starry band.
Across the skies we fly, no distance too great,
life leads us forth, we mustn't hesitate.
God will sustain us, and show us the way;
night has ended – we have only bright day.
God leads us forward, embracing we will go,
for there'll be no other ending, that we do know.
