By Simba

As I stand here at the ocean shore
I stand alone once more

It's been 4 years
That  I've been doing this

I wish I had you next to me
someone to kiss

I'm watching the sunrise
for the first time
in years

Feeling loneliness
sometimes I wonder why
I'm even doing this

What's the reason for
being here?

I came here to be closer
rather then be afar

I can't stand  with you
or to have you by my side
There's nothing I can do
Except hide

I know there's more to life
Than just being strangers
to each other
amongst the crowd

I watch couples hand-in-hand
walking by
I feel  barely alive

To watch the sunrise
in the sky
a little higher
A new day begins
it's 5:30 a.m.
I'm not feeling tired

So I sit here and watch
the waves
it's low tide
they're
moving away

During the beginning of
this new day
The seconds turn
into minutes
the minutes turn
into hours

Sitting on this beach
in a lonely but
peaceful array

Wanting you here
with me
wishing it wasn't
this way

To be sharing the sand,
cherishing  the view, also
the sounds of the
crashing waves  

As a couple
not strangers on this
beautiful summer day

I can go on and on
about the way that I feel  
It's not going to make
a difference
Even if you're home
or away

Knowing nothing's going
to change
For This stranger relationship
I'ts all going to remain
the same

  Undercover
just like some other face
in the crowd

You know who I am
as I'm sure
they do as well

To be aware of me and
not to be seen
with you

It's over now
I have nothing more
to say.

Simba

"What goes on in Vegas
stays in Vegas"

When you go away
my heart is going
to change
You're going to
be gone
so far far away

I'll be home thinking
of you
To be told not
to worry
that's easy for you
to say

I won't hear from you
for hours
You'll just put your
phone away

You will be out
every night and day
this is true

To be dressing
up with the  clothes that were
chosed by you
The ones you told me you
bought
for school

From the way you
will wear your
make up
To the way you set
your hair
It'll be worn
different than
when you're
with me, here

Everyone will be looking
at you
You won't be thinking
of me

You're going with friends
this is what you
decided to do
Nobody's going to say a
word against you

You will be within
a bubble
They will close
their eyes
They will become blind
for
you're in the land
of Vegas
Where nothing their
is true

You will be drinking
You'll be dancing
You will be
gambling too
There will be a bunch
of money
all around you

People will be flirting
That's what they do
I know this
to be
I see you flirt even when
you're with me

When this happens
it will stay between
Yourself and
the
Land of Make Believe

For this is a playground of
many fantasies
What goes on
between others
no one else
will see

You're within the bubble
there's nothing I
can do
For this is Vagas the land
where people do as
they please

I know my heart is
going to change
Mary Ann
For you are so
far away

The memories will be
yours forever
I didn't share them
with you
The stories that
you'll tell
When you do
see me
Will be the stories
from the
Land of Make-Believe


From your lover
boy Danny it is
hard for me to see
To know that you're
in Vegas
So far far away
from me

I stayed awake
at night
To write this poem
to thee
It is really bothering
me
To know that you're
in the land
Of opportunity

I will end my poem
the way that It started

As it was said in
the beginning and now
at the end

"What goes on in Vegas
stays in Vegas"

Yours truly
Simba

When I see the green
I wish I was the one on
the other end
I feel I'm not the only one
It seems to have been
someone in between
I Believe there's someone that communicates
Someone else has your
attention
the letter
L was told
to me
someone you know
long-distance
I know that it's
not me
I know it doesn't
matter it's irrelevant
I know it to be
it doesn't change
the situation
The one between you
and me
this is just like
a letter
the one that shouldn't
be sent to thee

You - used the same paper
You- used the same words
You- used the (A) over the (O )
What am I ?
I am the same Valentine's day card.
You wrote over the ( O )
in Don
With an ( A )
To make it Dan

I fell in love with someone's other
Was it ever real
Was it the need to play a game
To fulfill what was missing

The  night came around and bit me
Call me crazy
Call me insane
The fact is it Still Remains
That I was  one of the
replacements
for
the pain in your life

In the shadows we remained
For I am not the
only one
that the name was
changed
next to the number
to deceive
the other

I finally figured out
When one was to pass
That I wouldn't be the
one you'd be with
I am the one in between.
The Pastime
The convenient one
The one you called
your love
and I called you
my lady

I'm sure he has words
for you  
As well as you
have words
for him
I knew that you
would never leave him
That he was  more than
a  forever friend

The fact is that he and I still have something in common
He and I are your lovers
He more than I
No difference that he's
Uptown
and I'm
downtown
He is the your
Chosen One

Simba

It's been three long years since are Lord took you away
He brought you home with no more pain
You're in my heart you're in my soul
You're in my thoughts as
I grow old
I miss you dearly
as you know

I leave the light on
I let it glow
You are here with me
everyday
As I ring your bell
I do say with three kisses
each day
The same way you did
in your special way

             " I love you"

As you would do
in your usual way

It's been three long years
since you've gone away
I'll keep you in my heart each and every day

I will see you again
someday

It's 3 a.m. as I remember you today
I love you so much
that's all I can say

I'll keep ringing your bell and kiss you that way

Until we meet again my
Mother

From your one
and only son
