Silence Is Golden

Silence Is Golden
It is not your conversation
That keeps me entertained
But rather the way you look at me
That makes me feel sustained
It's the curve of your lips
And the curl of your hair
T'is all of the little things
That make me stop and stare

It is not your intelligence
That drew me close to you
It is not your sense of humour
That has thrown me all askew
It's the touch of your hand
And the thoughts in your head
T'is all of the little things
The things that don't get said

It's not your vivid history
That's made me fall in love
It's not your comprehension
Of the world or what's above
It is your soft temperament
And the way you smile at me
T'is all of the little things
That make me want to see

It's not when we are talking
That I want to know some more
It is not whilst you teach me
I learn what I'm looking for
It is the time we spend alone
And the time in utter silence
T'is all of the little things
That form a strong alliance

It's not the job you work so hard
That shows your true commitment
It's not your crazy habits
That give me great fulfilment
It is the way you use your hands
And the way I have been chosen
T'is all of the little things
Why I know silence is golden

Good Bye My Love

DEAR
You are and will never be worthy of my love
You need reasons to prove my love
You need ways to know that I am worthy
This was never love my dear
And this is all never ought to be
So goodbye from me forever
Forever I will ever see
Your way and my way are different to be!
I know it's bitter in the heart
I know it's never easy to part
But it's better to heal a broken heart
Then to stay in a mess from the start
So with all the memories that I have
I tell you an honest goodbye
Goodbye my love from my end
A love that I could never mend
Goodbye forever!
It was your love which wasn't pure
Or there was no connection and allure
Things have truly turned too sour
And nothing can change now in life
Things can turn too bad with all this vice
So goodbye from me for it was never love
Which neither of us could ever see
A final bye from my side to you!
I can really explain you the reason
I am feeling numb in this season
It was a mistake that couldn't be healed
And our love could not get that seal
It was never meant to be that way
And I just want to say
That life will move on with a broken heart
You will always be a special part
Goodbye from me to you!


I gave you my all in love oh girl
And I could swear it all in life
But you left me half way heartbroken
Tell me how I will survive
I will never love again in life
Coz this has left me shattered
And left a gap in my heart forever
Goodbye from me to you!
So easy it was to go away like this
So easy it was to leave the way
So easy it was to just call this off
So easy it was to say
That you don't love me any more
That we should just break this tie
Not as easy as it was meant to be
Coz true love will never die
Goodbye from me to you
It's a final goodbye!
The way you used to pretend
The way you used to care for me
The way in which you were there for me
Never thought it was all fake
You made my life a mess
How could you make 
A mockery out of our love
Goodbye from me to you forever
Forever in that shove!
The way you have betrayed me
The way you cheated on me
It's hard to believe in love anymore
It's hard to give my heart
You broke my heart oh girl
After a lovely start
I feel so vulnerable now
So much in pain
Goodbye from me to you
For love that went in vain!

Gift From God

A Gift From God                                                                                                                                                                Love can't be described.
It has no shape, it has no form.
Love is not an object.
Love does not conform.

Love enters our lives
The moment we are born.
From the cradle to the grave,
Love's in everyone.

Love burns like a candle
That sometimes flickers but never dies.
Love may be invisible,
Although it's right before your eyes,

Love can leave you empty,
Love can make you whole.
Love can make or break you,
Love is in your soul.

Love is in your heart,
Love is in your mind.
Love doesn't discriminate,
Love is always blind.

Love is universal,
It encompasses the globe.
No matter where you are,
Love has a language all its own.

Love is all around you.
There's plenty of love to spare.
You cannot see or touch it,
But love is everywhere.

Love's the greatest power,
And yet it is so small.
Love's a gift from God
To be shared amongst us all.
