After all the times we spent together
All the memories we shared
The countless number of pictures we took
Making those funny faces
All those not so funny jokes we shared
All the movies we watched together
The ice cream we ate
The shopping we did
The kisses we shared
After all the fights and fun we had
The tears and smiles
All the intimate conversations we shared
The childhood stories
All the dark secrets about each other we revealed
And after all the love we made
You still never knew me...

I had a dream last night
I was in heaven
Found myself standing at the altar
Wearing my favourite suit, with my best friends beside me
And before I could figure out why
I heard heaven trumpets playing as everyone turned their heads
Guess what I saw?
Wow! I couldn't believe my eyes
As I look at you, waltzing down the Aisle,
looking perfect
Dress looking heavenly tailored
Smile pure as the clouds themselves
Eyes as bright as the stars themselves
Beauty as the rainbow itself
Skin, shape, perfect, like God crafted you Himself
The slow walk, like a Swan walking past a flock of males
Everything just Perfect

As my heart beats faster and slow at the same time, while everyone gaze upon you
You'd hear the oxygen around, as Awe falls upon everyone
Silent...
My heart beating faster again
Once
Twice
And silence
As it skips Three and Four forgetting that it has to beat
And Five and Six, preventing me to collapse
Feelings overwhelm me
Oh boy, I'm in heaven

I look up and whisper
"God I knew you love me, but I never thought that your only perfect creation would be for me"
Only one word out of everyone's lips, "WOW!"
I look back at you
I can't see clearly now, as tears starts flooding my eyes
Oh, I'm in heaven

And you slowly approach the altar.
One last glance at my best man
He starts to sound exactly like my mom
Shouting "Lefa wake up! Wake up, or you gonna be late
Late for what?"
"Wake your *** up dummy, time to go to work"

As I wake up,
"****!.. Couldn't the woman let me put a ring on it first?"

Back on Earth again

You hypnotized me with your words
Mesmerised me with your eyes
Paralysed me with your smile
Transfixed me with your charm
Enthralled me with your deception
Captivated me with your sweet nothings
****, you almost got me
I almost yielded  
But not this time LOVE
I will never be fooled by you again
Because I now know you for who you are..

Things might be sour now
Things might've not worked out the way
Tears might be running down my cheeks
Heart might be broken into pieces
Rains might cease to pour
Sun might rise West set to East
Days might not be the same

We might not be the same people who fell in love but I'm a better person better because I got to know love, I got to know you

We might someday move on
You might someday be independent
Even after all the "might's"
One thing will forever remain

...You still the one I think about before I sleep.
You still the woman I think about when I wake.
You still the person I'd smile for no reason when I hear Ur name.
You still the most beautiful woman I've ever known.
You still the woman I'd marry in a blink of an eye;
Runaway with and live "happily ever after”, wait, this is no Fairy Tale.
..But, you still the woman I'd risk everything to be with.
You still the woman I'd want my babies to have her eyes.

You still the one for me
You'll still forever in my heart remain
And I'm still in love with you...

Dearly beloved,
We are here today for a bit of bad news
This is one of the hardest goodbyes
Oh, death not be proud

Here rests our beloved
He was the most spirited
The funniest
The bravest

We had a good run you and I
We have some great deal of memories
All the good times we shared,
I will forever cherish
The laughs, smiles,
The chats and the arguments
The games we playes together
The ice creams we shared
All the advices you've given me
I will forever appreciate them

Unfortunately, this is not a Eulogy, but more of an apology
I am sorry, but I gotta let you go

See, It wasn't my intention to **** you,
but it had to be done
It wasn't easy for me either
Murdering you was not my proudest moment
But I just had to **** you

Even though we had a good run,
Made friends, even enemies
Made money
We still broke a lot of relationships
We broke a lot of hearts
A lot of trusts
You even made me a murderer now
I can't even gaze upon myself
My reflection frightens me
Because of you, I can't recognise myself no more
So, again, I am truly sorry
But I'm letting you go..

You will surely be missed.
Goodbye
My Ego, Jealousy, Envy, Hate


Forever yours
Lefa

Don't be fooled by my looks
My great fashion sense, my breathtaking smile, my clean shave
Like any borrowed piece of clothing, I just wear it sometimes, and doesn't mean I own it.
I sometimes wear it to just to fit in,
It is my Mask

I sometimes just wear it to avoid endless questions
Sometimes to avoid having to explain myself
I avoid having to deal with your false pretense
The very same fake smile and concern you'd wear pretending you care
And that small excitement in your heart when you find out I ain't doing well
I wear this mask to avoid you feeling sorry for me
I wear it to protect my pride
I wear it to protect my heart
So allow me to take my "happy Mask," and put it on

It's great for a while because oftentimes I forget it's just a mask,
and actually feel like I'm genuinely happy
But like they say, "Nothing Gold Can Stay"
The very second I leave, the mask fall away
Reality confronts me
My 2 second happiness fades
Just like a hired Prom suit, I take it back to the shop
And I don't look like a Prince Charming no more
I go back to being a Toad
I need my Mask

Wouldn't it be better if I stopped pretending?
Wouldn't it be better if I didn't wear a mask no more?
Wouldn't it be better if I wore my heart on a sleeve?
Wouldn't it be better if I could just say what I feel, how I feel?
Wouldn't it be better if I could just shed a tear without holding back?
Without being judged?
Wouldn't it also be better if I could just trust wholeheartedly without worrying?
Without worrying you gonna judge me?
It would, wouldn't it?

But until then, let me be Zorro
I have people to impress....

Well...I thought it would be easier forgetting you as I think I was starting to
But now I'm here, in this empty apartment, nothing but four walls starring at me
I realize the apartment isn't the only thing empty,
but I feel empty inside
I feel like I lost a part of me, a part of my soul
There is a big aperture left in me and the only thing I can think about now,
the only person I think can feel that space,
it’s the person on the other side of this conversation; and I don't really know what to say to her
I don't know how to guide her back to arms
I really don't know what I'm gonna do with all this emptiness
I really don't even know if I know myself anymore
I feel everything is a blur and you took my lenses.
I'm blind...
I'm lost...
I can't feel, I can't think...
I don't know...
Tell me what to do.
It’s like you took all my thoughts, my memories,
my ability to think, ability to concentrate,
my ability to grasp reality, my ability to be
I know this feeling will pass or maybe it’s just this place making me miss you,
but whatever it is, God knows it hurts like hell
And I just can't move right along...
