Loving Realization

For a while I've been smiling

As I look at my ceiling

Trying to figure out this feeling

As it got more confusing

I've been hearing things a while ago

Am I being paranoid or was it just my ego?

I fantasized of us being together

Like a fairy tale living happily ever after

A bond that we made

I wish it won't fade

Wish it would stay like a burning fire

Loving to our heart's desire

Loving you is like chasing a rabbit

Tiring but soon became a habbit

I've been loving you for years

As I fight away all these fears

In my years of longing

Wish you'll hear me singing

Love me with all your heart

'Cause I won't go back from the start

Not one,not two but a dozen

Today I met a new friend

As kind and caring as one can be

There was a special way about her

She became a comfort to me

I haven't the words to describe her

I guess unique and understanding is she

But I do know that in a brief moment

She became a comfort to me

I 've no idea where this friendship will go

Or if it has already come to an end

I only know that in my heart

You will always be my friend

And now,before the day ends,

I think and said, well

Today i met a friend

Tommorow i meet another

And in the future i will meet a dozen.

Love

Love, it is something we all want,

but do we know when it is in front?

We sometimes ignore the love given to us

because we want to grow up fast.

Imagine a world without it.

How long can we stand it?

Very short our time on earth is,

But with love, we live with ease.

Rich men want it but the poor needs it.

Wise men can show it but can we too?

Try your best to show some love,

and you shall feel the joy for mankind brought by love

Expectation

When I thought love was painful,

I tried to think.

Is Love sweet?

Or did you turned it bitter?

Everything started to change,

The entire thing I dreamed was false.

That I hoped for nothing.

You were all to me,

But you never really noticed.

At that time you were blind by your own thoughts.

If I were to ask you one question that would be,

'Did you ever notice me?'

Until now I'm still thinking if I should keep loving you.

But I know one things true,

I will never love someone like you.

So I will never feel the sadness again.

True Friends

They are the sunshine of my eyes,

But they do not blind my eyes.

They have a gentle shine,

Which no one can compare.

Their face is my perfect portrait,

That I'm sure no one else can see its beauty.

They have a ready ear,

Always ready to listen to my problems.

Their laughs are music to my ears,

Their smile is my inspiration,

Their cheerfulness keeps me going.

To me I can't ask anything more,

But a True Friend like you!

He's my happiness

I was searching for happiness

In the midst of the darkness

I was hoping and praying

That it would be a successful searching

One day, a silhouette from afar, i see

Swift...

Closer...

And it was him

From my yesterday's dream

It was a dream come true

That has pulled me through

Then the rain starts to fall

And the wind's calmness feels the air

He was gone

My only one

No one could replace him

The other half of my life, i seem

I stubbornly wait on

Waiting for the wind to bring him back soon.

Though i know that he's just a dream

But it's only him

That could give me happiness

and the one that took away my sadness

It hurts, how one rainfall

Could actually take my happiness away

Yet he'll still be my sweetest downfall

And how i wish he could stay...
