I Got You

Umo
I got you asleep and awake
You are always on my mind.

I got you day and night
you are my toil and joy.

I got you in my head and in my heart
You are my rythmn and my rhyme.

I got you babe...
because you got me.

Never let go..
without you i got no one.

The Live Dream

The Live Dream

The striped carnation adorned my room lately,

Yesterday , your promise replaced them 

with dark red & white carnations,

and 13 roses.

Just when I thought to smell the flowers,

Your words pierce my soul

Jolting me back to life.

Alas, it is still a dream.

Untoeternity

There is a time,
Everything feels just right.

The love you wish,
Stands at your doorstep.

You fear to breathe, 
Lest she’s blown away.

You hold your breath,
And become faint with anxiety. 

If you reach out,
Will she run?

But if you wait,
Will she leave?

Come in love,
Welcome home!

Unknown

Love till it hurts,

Wipe the tears no one sees,

And throw in the towel.

Give your best and rest,

Lest you lose all to nought. 

It's still a beautiful world...

The skies may miss the moon, 

That makes all seem aglow and bright...

but the skies will still be...

Beautiful, though dark and lonely ...

Because you are not here.

So long...missed you for too long,

Miss you till the end of time.

Come To Me

Come To Me.

I am here, you are there.

When I am there, you are not here.

I search everywhere to have you here.

I want you here, can i be there with you.

You are always here in my heart

For a moment in time,Can I be there in your heart?

Will You be mine, For I am yours.

Where are you?

Please come to me.
