I want to be
your vintage crooner for life
Frank Sinatra mixed with Marvin Gaye
with twenty-first century style
I'd greet you at the door with flowers
and be your chauffeur to wherever
you want to go I'll take you
there's no rush; we have forever
our life can feel like a movie
almost too good to be true
sooner or later you'll realize
I've always felt that way about you
galas and road trips
would only be enjoyable if I'm holding your hand
I think that we could see our dreams
with our own awake eyes
so come and ride away with me
and we can have the time of our lives
whether Sunday morning pancakes or a Tuesday noontime lunch
breakfast in bed or a Venice bistro will be equally fun
and if God takes us that far
I'd point to you when a kid asks what a Queen is
and someday many years from now
when we have an empty nest
we'll remember the feature film of our romance
and decide that we did it best

Intertwined

I can’t even begin to describe,
The absolute joy; the warmth; the elation;
That came over me that moment,
Even if for just a moment,
That you took me by the hand.
I can’t even remember the last time
I wanted something so small to last forever.

All I’ve wanted to be is closer to you,
In every way possible.
To know your biggest dreams
And your deepest fears.
And if somehow those things
Magically lined up with mine,
Only then could I show you
How big I can smile.

But that night,
Despite
All the distractions that were,
That was the one thing that I know
I did not merely imagine
On a drunken night.

But right now, I’m okay.
Here; far away. From you.
But I have that moment;
Even if it’s only mine.
Of that one moment when our hands
Intertwined.

Mine

The feelings a have for you are hard to describe,
they are too intense to contain them inside.
Evidently, you’re what I was looking for,
‘cause honestly each day I need you more.

Don’t think too little of the love in me.
It’s obvious you’re the muse behind this rhapsody.
These feelings run for you so deep within my veins,
I highly doubt anybody else could take your place.

You don’t have to waste your time worrying,
what I got for you, is yours only.
Look around and realize
that nobody else but you possesses this heart of mine.
There’s no need for you to look for reassurance,
‘cause there’s no need for me to look for love in another.
All this love I got for you I just can’t measure,
but it’s more than you can handle I can assure.

Have you ever felt so enraptured you can’t even believe it?
That’s how you have enraptured me.
I ain’t letting go of you, no way
and nobody is taking me away.
This I got right here is only yours and mine
and hopefully will be ours for a lifetime.

Coming Back

I didn't know
why leaving
appear so attractive
to me
but then
I always
see myself
coming back
to you
over
and over
again.

I’m A Wallflower

My heart beats fast.
As I walk by and pass.
You stared at me.
And it melts me inside.

I don't know why.
I always feel this thing.
It gives me joy.
When I think about you.

I am too shy,
because I'm a wallflower.
And I'm afraid.
To tell that I like you.

T.O.T.G.***

You'll always be the one
I wish I had held onto.
The one I wish Time would rewind for
But Time is a funny thing.
It never looks back. Its face only turned to what's ahead.
Ticking away with an endless purpose
I want you back.
But things are forever changed between us.
It's sad to move on when we've forgotten what love really is.
So I’ll always hate to say.
My love for you never could ever go away
Stuck in my heart is where you'll stay
But you're gone
you've walked away.

One day you will be mine

One day you will be mine,
Dark clouds will go the sun will shine,
From God blessing will rain,
One day you will be mine.

One day you will rise,
To see this world with my eyes,
Our bond is divine,
One day you will be mine.

One day you will be mine,
I will hold you for life time,
So give me your sweetest smile,
Let me dream for a while,
My world will be like heaven,
Coz one day you will be mine.

Say forever you will be mine,
Our love will win over the test of time,
Black days will run away,
Our life will be a brighter day,
Forever I am yours,
Promise me forever you will be mine.
