I found her at the starting line of a new life From our first shared smile I dreamed her to be my wife Her eyes smoldered with an ember glow As her hair fell in an extinguished flow Before I could recover the time was go I started to race before she had a chance Then passed me by with her flashing glance I tried to keep up but couldn't match pace I was too slow for her taste She craved a more challenging race I chased and chased, slowly closing the gap Kept my head down, focused on the next lap Never stopped to study what was on my map But when I finally let my focus snap I found my feet pounding with all of their might And my flame, was far beyond out of sight Had I ran a race that lead me astray? Ran with zeal for the past thousand days Refused to quit and allowed delay Neglected the idea: she doesn't feel the same way Never thought to think: Does she even still run this way? She phoned me from her newfound oak-pine trail And I knew then that my feat had failed

She was never mine
What makes me want to taste a forbidden fruit Is it that smile made brighter only by a face so cute That smile that makes my joy double Every time I see it I forget every trouble Anyone else I’d consider just a crush But your voice alone causes me to blush My feelings for you are as strong as can be Yet they grow everyday with no limit to see I’m enchanted by you for that I’m sure The only one who could make me dance like Usher Unknowingly my heart you stole For you I’d even learn to speak Espanol One day my patience will have its reward And my feelings won’t have to be ignored One day we'll finally have the chance To begin our forbidden romance If all good things come to those who wait, then I’ll wait I’ll long for our names to be joined by fate I’ll wait for you, beautiful and fine I’ll wait for the day I can call you mine

Impatiently Waiting
Longing lingers in the heart Of the host that's torn apart Desire drives him to loves cliff He wants to fall but is scared stiff He is too late, stopped in his tracks She is gone and can’t turn back And so he fights against the fall But there's no grip upon the wall The ground crumbles beneath his feet His guarded heart sees defeat

No safety net
I’ve been struck by an arrow, an arrow of Cupid Why else would I act so stupid? And allow my world to be shaken By a girl who is taken My heart chose hers without consent Yet I felt my entire soul relent But Now I must sit abide As my chest throbs inside For too long my emotions stressed Hoping each day proved my earnestness But odds of being together have become too narrow Curse you Cupid and your arrow This Valentine’s Day you will find That you’re the only one on my mind Natalia, wonderful and fine I wish I could be your valentine
