She Asks, I Answer

You ask…………….
If love is forever and if I will love you forever
Why I love you and how much I love you
Why I chose you and when I fell in love with you
You ask me does love last an eternity
I answer………………..
I can neither tell you how much or why I love you
I can’t promise forever or an eternity
All the time we have is between hello and goodbye
I can only promise the time we have together will be our eternity, our forever.
I cannot tell you when I fell in love with you for there is no single moment
I still get butterflies every time I hear your voice, see you smile and feel your touch
One day you will look back smile, laugh and cry at the moments we shared
And only then will you truly understand how much and why I loved you
Only then will you truly know that our love was forever and was for an eternity

Simply Amazing

Never have I kissed your sweet lips
Nor have I touched your beautiful skin
Never have I held you close
Nor have I been alone with you
Never have I held your hand
Nor have I walked under the stars with you
Yet I know I love you
For you are amazing

I love the way you look with your natural hair.
You beautiful with no makeup on
I love the person you are
You have the skin of a child
The smile of goddess
Your beauty is truly like no other
And no one can dispute that
For you are amazing

You make my heart beat faster
You make my palms sweat
You make me forget what I wanted to say
You make me smile
You make me laugh
You make me go crazy out of my senses
For you are amazing

All I want is just one moment in life
When I kiss you for eternity
Hold you in my arms and never let go
Tell you I love you forever and never say goodbye
Tell our children our love story that never ends
All I ask is a chance to be with you
For you are amazing.
Simpy Amazing

You Are Beautiful

You are beautiful to me…………….
More beautiful than the stars in the night sky
More beautiful than a full moon on a clear night
More beautiful than a rare sight of roses blooming in winter
I see the real beauty of life through your brown eyes
You have the smile of an angel, 
That will turn any bad day into a good one.
The melody of your voice will make any song a hit song
Your beauty cannot be defined or matched to any.
I wish to kiss your lips and taste the warmth of heaven
I wish to hold you close and tell you you’re beautiful
Now I know what love is; now I know love exists.

The Dream That Will Never Be

I keep myself busy with things to do, 
But every time I pause I think about you.
The very thought of you pains and brings comfort to my heart. 
For you are just but a dream that will never be, 
Every time I think of you I smile and tears run down my cheeks
As I am in love with you and you not with me.
My heart skips a beat and my mind try?s to shut you out.
For you are the one but I not the one for you.
You are the one my heart desires
You are the one I have been waiting for.
You are the one who has made my heart feel
Pain and joy, anger and peace,
I cherish every moment I dream of you,
Hoping the light of day will never shine
So that I will never face the reality of being alone.
I Love You

Love Is

Love is simple, love is not complicated
Not a choice you make, its cupids job
Love is all about the small things in life
Yet people think it’s about the big expensive gestures
Yet most of us have forgotten that 
Love is telling her you love when she least expects it
Don’t be predictable
Calling her to say goodnight and good morning my dear.
Love is not about making promises
But living the promise, making it happen
Love is honesty and telling her how beautiful she is everyday
Love is not about age or race, love doesn’t care about the distance.
Love has no limits, love is beautiful
Love is all about listening and asking questions
Love is all about smiling and laughing
Love is all about commitment and responsibility
Love is all about growing together and treating her right.
Yet some think love is all about money.
Money is only to make the love comfortable.
Love is simply you and I.
Everything else comes last.

Regret

Lonely yet you never alone
Unhappy yet you always smiling
They don’t know you yet they say they do
Drowning in a sea of perception and lies
Accost by irrational characters
Judged and rejected prior to hello
Identity, reason, hope and purpose all lost
Life lived thus far, a life full of regret
A life lived for others
A life not lived

Letter To My Friend

I am not sure what you going through
For you won’t tell me
All I know is he doesn’t appreciate you and love you right
He takes you for granted; he does not know what he has
Beautiful is what you are, simply too much to describe
Your inner beauty shines through your eyes
And I feel it through your laughter and soft voice
Your smile makes my worst day shinny and beautiful
It is a great privilege to be your friend
For I know what I have and how beautiful you make my life look

Beyond My Control

This very day, 27 years ago a little boy met a girl and thought nothing of it.
Two innocent minds, two pure souls with no crooked intentions.
We shan't lie to the world that it was love a t first sight
For we didn't know the difference between wrong and right.
For we didn't know what love is or what pain is.
We chose to be friends, yes we became best friends.
With the passing of time, moments, laughs tears we shared and Gods plans, 
With the synchronizing of two heart beats that longed to beat as one.
Two souls that fed each other, two minds and two bodies that were destined for all eternity
This we could not fight, for it was destiny, for it was God’s plan.
This love was beyond my control my love.

27 years have gone by and I am still in love with you as if it were our first day.
My love is still pure and innocent just as the minds and souls of that little boy and girl.
Loving you is still not a choice, loving you is not a decision I have to make day after day.
Loving you is food to my soul, loving you is what defines me, loving you is my daily bread.
You make me whole; you make me significant, for you make me one with you.
All these years have passed and all I see changing is time and not my love for you.
Loving you my dear is beyond my control.

Without you near me I am deaf, I am blind and I cannot feel.
For my eyes see only you
For my ears only hear your sweet voice.
For my hands feel only the smoothness of your skin.
When you are away I cannot smell nor can I taste anything.
For the only scent I know is yours.
For the only lips I know are yours.
You are my connection to the outside world
For I see through your eyes and know the sour sweet taste of air with your tongue.
For I hear the sound of the wind blowing with your ears and smell through your nostrils.
For I feel through your palms and your skin.
You are me and I you. For we are one 
This love I feel for you is beyond my control

You are my one and only
You are my past, my future and my present.
You are my life; you are my heaven, my gift from above.
Every day I pray to the Lord to thank him for I have you, for I have it all.
I am yours always, I am yours for eternity, I am yours even in the after life
I love you. Wish us an eternity together.
This love is beyond my control my love.

Happiness

I have seen better days, but I have also seen worse days.
I have seen the darkness, but i have also seen the light
I didn't have everything I wanted but I had all i needed.
I slept on a hungry soul and only dreamt horrors unimaginable
Sometimes I want to be little again, sometimes I wish I were dead.

But i wonder after all this time we were together,
If i die would you cry,would you miss me, would ask yourself why
Would you ever realise that I had died a long time ago,I don't think so.
You did not see my soul slip away into darkness
You never heard my voice or what I said or the silent cries of my soul
You didn't see the deep scars inside my heart or the tears that fell down my cheeks
You didn't mourn the death of our dreams or my dreams
If i die will i ever be happy again

I just need a little happiness in my life.............
Everyday is a struggle although I put a brave smile,
Telling the world everything is alright,
But as soon as I'm alone the smile goes away
I slice my veins to bleed the pain away
I overdose on the pills to numb the pain
Only my sanity fades away, but the pain remains

I don't know how my story will end, 
But nowhere will it ever read I gave up...
I don't want a perfect life, but I want to be happy
I realised this too late but I am responsible for my own happiness
I am going to be happy without you.
Goodbye

Life

So many unanswered questions for there are no answers.
So many unchartered waters as no one is willing to explore.
So many confused people at the exploit of the clever.
Just a promise of hope, riches and a better tomorrow.
So many scared of the truth that they never ask,
But choose to move forward in darkness.
As they struggle step by step with the hope that there is a light at the end.
Ignoring the fate that awaits us all.
A darkness where no one has ever gone and lived to tell the story
A place where no one calls home or dares to go willingly.
This is our destiny. This is our end.
Why  live in darkness when we have the gift of life
Why ask for too much when we already have it all.
Why be exploited for a promise of a better tomorrow.
Why not make that better tomorrow for ourselves today
The beautiful journey that’s start with a beautiful beginning
And ends with an inevitable peaceful end that comes for us all.
Life is beautiful, live it to the fullest.
Live a life with no regrets, no limitations.
Approach death with a smile for you have lived it all
Live for the life that you have now and not for a promise,
That might never be.
Life is beautiful…………………………….
