the stars are shining bright, underneath this pale moonlight
2 bodies, still like a blanket of velvet sky

in this very confined space, all doubts and fears are erased
a moment bare with no despair

and the air that breathes within this sheet is shared
with 2 hearts beating, they both declare
to an unknown force that feels no remorse when it's no longer there.

in this moment, no shed of torment could ever compare
to a bond conjoined by fate. no lies, no hate no sadness too great,
could ever be faced by 2 but virtually one. and when all is said and done,
what remains is virtually, None.

the stars are shining bright, underneath this pale moonlight
2 bodies, still like a blanket of velvet sky

like a story that finished with lose ends

cuts like a knife with a wound to mend

one thousand nights with tears falling

with only one name that he is calling



in the middle of the dark all on his own

the memories flashes back in a mellow tone

with every beat that synch with his pain

a bitter sweet symphony inside remains



with all his might he lets it go

like a water fall he lets it flow

there's no easy way out from this predicament

nothing else will work.. not even a replacement



as time passed by he realized all this

all is worth it even if sometimes you miss

for the pain he feels will soon subside

and look for that happiness he once found inside



so he closed his eyes and said these words

"nothing else is more important in this world

but to keep pushing forward and to be free.

once I lived for you...  now I live for me"

still in my heart this I say
as I close my eyes and drift away
slowly I feel your touch once more
I hear your heart beating like before

in a dream so real, I wished I stayed
like a character in a show that I once played
it started with laughter and a few cheers
nothing else mattered when I had you near

you said your lines and I believe it was real
got me in so deep with everything I feel
but as the show went on it all turned sour
the curtain closed down in the final hour

you took a bow, as I walked away
then woke up this morning with a smile today
to think that it was all fabricated in my mind
what I once was seeking, now I find

the truth hurts, so I must accept
now live life where there is no regret
our time is short, we don't have lots
joy will be found, when the madness stops

Why do I love you? a simple question really, but yet, the answers that comes to my mind are all fuzzy and intangible. Like a tangled ball of yarn or a busy city block. Words are lost needles between the biggest pile of haystacks, or a matching sock after laundry day. It's indescribable! comparable to the miracle of a sunrise or the mystery of life itself. I don't mean to sound overly dramatic but, I just want to stress the overwhelming emotions that takes over me, whenever I think about how blessed I am, to have the opportunity to live a life with your effervescent existence. To put it more in shallow words; I guess it's the way you look at me with your pretty, pretty face, that I could never get tired of looking at, or how your eyes glimmer in the sunlight. that beautiful smile that strikes a chord in my heartstrings every time. Your scent that lingers in my senses even after you left the room, your touch, the taste of your kiss. Your sense of humour, your laughter, how you find my dry jokes funny, your love of art, and your scholar like intelligence and the tenderness of your heart, not just towards me but, to other people as well. You're always caring, always attentive and always generous. You are the most humble person I've ever known, I love your gentle soul and your belief in God. You are the absolute definition of empathy. And the way I feel around you, is more than enough for me to love life to the fullest, and to look forward to more days spent with you. As much as I want to describe you in words, somehow I still feel that they seem to flow out cold and flat. Words can't justify the way I feel about you. I suppose you can call it fate, or destiny, typical words that any romantic fool would say. I don't care much about clichés, and I know it sounds hypocritical but, I guess to answer that question in the most simplest manner, is like this: "I just do..."

You’re in my thoughts, and in my words
Every romantic line you’ve ever heard
Unexpected and unplanned
I drifted towards your ocean sand

Like a light or a beacon
That shined on me with no reason
You showed beauty in my days
Even brighter than the sun’s rays

You’re everything to me now
I have no power to control it somehow
You take away all the misery and pain
And shelter me from this pouring rain

So I pray that you will forever stay
And that you will never ever take yourself away
‘Cause now you are the biggest part of me
And  you are the only smile I’d ever want to see

You should be loved as  if you were the last breath, a person will ever breathe.  Like tomorrow will never come, or will never feel the warmth of the sun.

You should be loved, as deep as the deepest ocean trenches, honored as high as the highest mountain.  adored as the most beautiful fountain.

you should be loved, more than a person could ever be loved, stronger than the winds of a hurricane, come inside these arms of mine, and let me shelter you from the storm.

— The End —
