1st year(In university)
I was sitting in the lecture room, looking at that girl sitting next to me. She was my ‘best friend’. She had nice hair, humble and was very beautiful. I wish I could tell her that I loved her so much, but I didn’t want to break the bond. After lectures, she walked to me, borrowed some notes of the previous class hugged and pecked me goodbye.
I wish I told her, I wish she knew
That I wanted us to be more than just friends
I loved her, but I was shy
I didn’t know why.
2nd year
My phone rang, it was her; she called me to tell me how much she was hurt. Her boyfriend just broke her heart. She asked me to go keep her company. I went to see her; coz she was my best friend. As I sat next to her, I looked her in the eye, wishing she was mine. After two hours of having fun and hanging out, she was okay; so I left her to go to bed. Before I left, she looked me in the eye with a beautiful smile, hugged me goodbye.
I wish I told her, I wish she knew
That I wanted us to be more than just friends
I loved her, but I was shy
I didn’t know why.
3rd year
One day, before the grand school end year party, she asked me to accompany her to the school dance. I was very happy, because every moment with her was special. But we went to the party ‘as just friends’. After the party, I sat at the door. I looked at her, as she chatted with her friends. She happened to look at me, and then gave me that killer smile.
I wish I told her, I wish she knew That I wanted us to be more than just friends
I loved her, but I was shy
I didn’t know why.
Graduation day
Days, weeks, months passed. It was the graduation day, so happy and excited we had completed our studies. She stood up, to go pick her certificate. As she walked elegantly, I couldn’t stop staring at her. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn’t notice me like that. Before she left, she came with her graduation gown, looked at me, gave me a smile and told me, ‘your forever my best friend’
I wish I told her, I wish she knew
That I wanted us to be more than just friends
I loved her, but I was shy
I didn’t know why.
Wedding day
3 years down the line, in the church, she walks down the aisle, with her parents on her side.
It really hurts me, since my chance is now gone. I love her too much, but I got to let her go. She is being married with another man.
I wanted her to be mine, but she didn’t see me like that. But as she walked she looked at me and gave me that killer smile. Whispered to me “BEST FRIEND EVER”
I wish I told her, I wish she knew
That I wanted us to be more than just friends
I loved her, but I was shy
I didn't know why
Burial day
Days, months, years passed.5 years later, I went to mourn the love of my life. The love I was afraid to tell. As I viewed her lain body, it hurt me that she left without knowing I loved her. During the service, they read her diary. The mc began ‘I stare at him; I would love to have him in my life. I try to simulate situations, but he doesn’t seem to notice me.’ I love him, I wish he knew. I would really want us to be more than just friends. I love him but am shy to say. I don’t know why.
My strength was over, I Knelt before the crowd, as tears dropped down my chicks. Those words touched me deeply. I wish I told her. But its now too late, she is gone.
I wish I told her, I wish she knew That I wanted us to be more than just friends
I loved her, but I was shy
I didn’t know why.
BREAK THE SILENCE> IF YOU LOVE SOMEONE; TELL THEM.

The Blitz

Tenement buildings falling to bits
Victims of precision hits
Sirens wailing, people running
Smoke and darkness, engines gunning
Antiaircraft guns are blazing
Towards the sky the bullets strafing
A distant rumble just like thunder
Another street is torn asunder
Bodies lying on the road
Families left with no abode
Among the rubble pets are lying
Some in shock, others dying
Despite it all a sense of calm
People sing a well known psalm
Thanking God for their survival
Whilst waiting on the Sun's arrival
The spirit of them all unbroken
Words like defeat are never spoken
Courage born of toil and sweat
Pride in everyone you met
A town rebuilt by men of worth
Regarded as the salt of the earth
Rising from the ashen pits
Created by Clydebank blitz..

Sunlight

This day I will never forget,
The moment when we first met
At the balcony I saw you once
A beautiful sight, though seen at one glance
I will never forget that beautiful sight
A beautiful girl, behind the sunlight
That moment kept my world from turning
That moment kept my heart from beating
But the time seems to go so fast.
This moment never seems to last,
But in my memories this will be kept forever
Until the time that we will be together.
That day I will never forget
A beautiful girl, behind the sunset.
That day my love for you was so true,
Kept in my heart, my one and only you.

Voice of My Aching Heart

I have always felt alone except when with you.
This is the voice of my aching heart and believe it's true.
You showered your love on me for a very short duration.
I don't know how I will handle this frustrating separation.
Your memories always flow in my mind and bloodstream.
Your sight immediately brings on my face a happiness gleam.
True love has got the power to conquer all the inhibitions
One enjoys his life journey under all conditions.
Voice of my aching heart will never go in vain.
Clouds of love in my stressed life will for sure once again rain
Unfulfilled desires of life will then give me no more troubles
Whether I achieve something great or just get reduced to rubble

It Will Be Okay Someday

I'm so tried of this Dark world 
I want to kill myself 
I want to commit suicide 
Leave me bro let me end my life.

My dear listen and listen very carefully
don't kill yourself 
you're not the owner of life 
I know you've been through alot 
but please don't end your life 
It will be okay someday 

Just believe that you're not alone 
One-day You will smile 
So please just wait
Take a step back.

There are people who love you
They will dearly miss you.
Just take a deep breath
And don't lose hope
You don't have to do this
Not today, not ever.
And oh please, please remember
That your parents love you  
fathom it will be okay someday..

Lean On Me

 A young boy from my neighborhood came to me the other day. he was near hysteria
he said, big bro 
jamb just came out and i have failed woefully 
my parents don't know of this yet
and i really don't Know what to do, I'm confused
i did my possible best 
i prayed and fasted for days waiting on God 
i attended lessons and i prepared well for this exam
i wonder how it came to this.

At that point he was trying so hard to fight the tears 
while he was still speaking 
i became lost in my own thoughts

I was like wow
I know this road, I've been here before 
how did u ever escape that fate?
Not too long ago, this young boy was me 
I still remember back when i was lost and hopeless

All i had with me was a dream 
And it was beautiful 

what really happened?

The only answer that made perfect sense was life happened 

You see, All it takes is patience and the wisdom to realize that even problems wouldn't last forever 

I turned to the young boy and said 
I have been down this lane before 
and I'd be here and be glad to walk with you all the way out of it
what saved me during those moments were the lyrics of a song "lean on me"

sometimes in our lives, we all have pain and we all have sorrows 
but if we are wise, then we know that there is always tomorrow 

I slept wit this song
I woke up with it
I ate with it
I put my faith in those lyrics 
little by little all the pain and sorrows sumed up and fizzled away 
and i realize that 
A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor 
I realize that, I'm in competition with no one 
it was me vs me 
I realized that he  (God) was standing by even when no one around 

Do you have phone?
He replied yes
then i said, here is a little gift friend 
I sent him that song"lean on me"
this will be a lonely walk 
you are about to walk into the storm
it will break you 
it will remould you
some days you will cry your eyes out 
but I'm just sure about one thing
when you walk out of this storm, you won't be the same naive little boy that walked in

You will come out stronger and wiser 
perhaps one day, even you too will share this song with another boy in distress.
