you‘re still on my mind
and maybe this idea of love makes me blind

I guess, for you, I really fell
your name is the only one I can spell

still remember your smell
hoping you’re doing well

so if you’re reading this,
can’t you get me a kiss?
wait, what do you mean
“you’re not the girl I miss“?

you’re still on my mind
should I really leave it behind?

you could at least come back
and explain what made us crack

or we could start over,
maybe get a lil’ closer

because hope is the last to die
and I don’t want to say goodbye

everyone is fighting a battle.

individuals, all made of metal
still, they are soft and breakable
everyone has a spot where pain leaks
mostly it happens when truth speaks
don’t mix it up with weakness
the word I’m searching for is uniqueness

everyone is fighting a different battle.
sometimes it makes us feel like metal
we are hard, and still so soft
just like a tulip, like every petal

can you leave, please?
I want to be alone and grieve

grieve for you
and the fact that
you don’t feel
the way I do

stop messing with me
I need some vitamin c

think I’m gonna pass out
you know what this is about

it could be a simple „sorry“
„can we start over
or write a new story?“

but this won’t happen
and if yes, in my dream
’cause we’re not even a team

I think about you every day
begging for a single replay

your name is written
on the walls of my mind
I can’t wipe it off
its like graffiti
and the paint is sticky

we met in a strange moment
now I’m sitting here as a poet

wish I could get to know you better
just enjoy the moment,
as if tomorrow wouldn’t matter

wish you could be mine
but first I will be away for some time

your brown eyes are art
and I hope life won‘t take us apart

just here to tell you that I like you
actually hoping you feel this way, too

man, life is too short
now I‘m sitting at the airport

please don’t forget my touch on your skin
to have met you is a win

we can meet again
just keep me in mind until then

I’ll be back soon
and then, together we will bloom.

through your coffee brown eyes
I forget how time flies

kissing your soft rosy lips
feels like a lunar eclipse

put your hands around my hips
‘cause I enjoy your gentle finger tips

your strong shoulders hold me tight
it’s where I feel home, where I’m alright

so stay with me for a while
‘cause I like your charming smile

and I forget how time flies
while I look into your coffee brown eyes.

Somos melancias.
Algumas são grandes outras pequenas.
Tem aquelas que são mais amargas e outras mais doces.
Algumas já caíram no chão e estão machucadas. Outras sempre foram tratadas com delicadeza.
Tem aquelas que estão prontas, outras que ainda não estão maduras.
Somos melancias, de várias cores, tipos e sabores.
Cada uma um pouco diferente, pois cada uma bonita.
Estamos em um caminhão. Estamos viajando.
O caminhão anda e anda.
As vezes mais rápido, as vezes mais devagar. Ele passa por cima de morros, pontes e rios. Por tempos quentes e tempos frios.
Durante esta viagem cada melancia troca de lugar. Ela muda de forma, muda de cor, muda de sabor.
Pelo caminho tudo vai se ajeitando e ao chegar no destino, cada melancia achou o seu lugar.
Um pouco como na vida: Somos melancias e estamos aqui para navegar.

before I sleep
I think of you
what are you going through?
how is life treating you?

before I sleep
I remember us
I’m laying on your chest
imaginary
you could be the guy
I’m gonna marry

before I sleep
my mind is filled
with thoughts of you
I’m feeling thrilled

before I sleep
I wear a smile
I beg you, 
please stay a while

before I sleep
I‘m overflowing with love
and as I close my eyes
it‘s you I dream of.

a voz que me acalma
pra quem eu bato palmas
a mão que me segura
e o abraço que me cura

o beijo mais gostoso
o vagalume mais brilhoso
o carinho que me esquenta
e o passarinho que pra mim canta

o olhar mais honesto
pra quem os sentimentos manifesto
o toque mais suave
o melhor sonho e a melhor realidade

a estrela mais clara
me cuida e nunca para
a minha lua na noite escura
e meu deus esta doçura

ele é o meu sorriso
e quem eu preciso
ele é a minha felicidade
a minha outra metade

ele é a minha vida, meu mundo,
e a minha sorte
sou dele até a morte.

yesterday I worked hard
when skies were grey.
some lessons learned, feeling okay.

what about today?
my path has turned,
got many things to say.
knowledge earned,
I keep building my way
we’re living for moments,
which are not gonna stay.

by the morning,
some dreams will have burned,
and about tomorrow I’m concerned.

time is a weird thing created by humanity,
years went by, we created profanity.

forever and always?
nah we are not gonna stay,
still I pray for another day.

they say the eyes are the mirror of the soul

so while you stare at me, what do you see?
is my soul free?

I wonder, what you’re looking at
is there peace? or shattered pieces?

what is my reflection?
I know it’s not perfection.

many flaws and an uneven patch.
it’s not that easy to win this match.

let me help you.
if you look closely you will see, that this is not about me.

it’s about you, it’s true.
to understand what lives behind your eyes is a process.
at first it will look like a mad mess.

but as you keep going you keep growing.
and then, slowly, your true colours will start showing.

you were supposed to make me smile
thought we could enjoy this moment for a while.

now I’m feeling sad because of you,
keep questioning the things you do.

I wonder if you’re capable of nice words,
I know you’re not the worst.

but sometimes I wish you would be kind,
that the memory of my face would cross your mind.

but you don’t care about me,
I guess your life is all you see,
and our energy is not equally.

your time is precious and all that matters,
you don’t even realise when my heart shatters.

I feel like I don’t deserve your emotions.

I’m not even talking about love,
it could be just us two, having a good laugh.
some attention or act of kindness, so I know you care. this would be fair.

but yeah, I’m not worth enough,
and the landspace of your heart seems kinda rough.

it could have been nice with us two,
but people won’t change, I know that’s true.

it’s too much to ask, right?
I’ll better get going, gonna catch my flight.

because you know what boo?
I deserve someone new,
and the only one who is unworthy of my feelings is you.

those letters I wrote for you are still haunting me
precious words that were destined to be

we had great times, I agree
but now, empty words is all I see.

with our story, I am done.
still gonna keep the memories when you used to be my sun

the same day you burned those words, you burned my love

now my words are no longer yours.
I already cut those strings and closed the doors

and baby guess what?
for you, there are no longer butterflies in my gut

sometimes you have to sit down and listen to yourself

please stop hiding in a shell

take one deep breath and smile like a clown
don’t fake it and listen to your heart itself

whether your hair is blonde, black or brown
listen to that magical sound

let all these scars heal, don’t worry
you can’t drown because you’re not made of steel

listen to your soul, body and mind
if something is wrong, leave it behind

did you sit down? did you listen?
now stand up and never forget to wear your crown.
