Why didn't I take the chances I got?
Why am I such a coward?
I could've confessed.
I could've told you
But I didn't.
I'm a coward
And now I'm paying the price.
My heart aches for you
And you're all I can think of
Because I didn't tell you
And now I'm paying the price.

I could be yours.
Would you be mine.
Light my candles.
Drink a glass of wine.
Talk to my soul.
Feeling so divine.
You are so very special.
Would you be me valentine.

Riding a roller coaster
Ups and downs
Twists and turns
Emotions riot

The heart feels
Up close
Nearing behind  
The head forgets

Ride with them
They are at war
In healing
Your broken heart

Center needs holding on
Mind prefers the push
My heart always wins..
How about yours?

i placed a chocolate on your desk
with a short note saying
happy valentines
and have a great week

i want to do something thoughtful
for an amazing girl like you
i hope you'll get my intent
and find this gesture simply nice

now my mind is like a troubled sea
anxiously waiting if you'll respond
afraid and nervous on what you'll say
worried if this move could end it all

I want you to fall in love with me
Using words that i couldn't speak
I hope these letters create a bridge towards your heart
So you could feel what i feel

I love it when we catch each others glance
Then we secretly flash our smile to hide, the love that we want to show
Our eyes sparkled with anticipation
It is the hungry heart that wanted to be fulfilled

There are many times when i want to approach you
But your beauty seems like my greatest fear
Scared to be rejected
Or too afraid to be the one who'll take care of it someday

It takes so much courage to even write this
But in the name of love i'm willing to risk it
You are beautiful inside and out
The world deserves someone like you

Could i really love someone who i'm not in a relationship with?
I want you to be happy even when it's not with me
Be with someone who is more capable
My love is genuine but i'm not able to

I'm here at a distance
This is for you to understand
Cause i'm hoping for someone to love you like i do
I want you to fall in the hands of someone who knows love

We are all hungry hearts looking for their match
For someone to quench the thirst in our heart
To make us feel special
To make us feel that were meant to be

Don't ever wonder what i see when i look at you
Cause you are the one who deserve all the love in the world

Don't we all?

I was wrong
All along

Believing in something
Ignoring everything

You played along
Maybe Coz u were alone

Now we reach
At the crossroad

And it's time
To be wise again

No more games
But you leave me with pain

But that's okay
Maybe I knew too
That you were never here to stay
