MISSING YOU

Time changes, huh? 

I guess times change.

 You are not here; but far away and, 

Life's noises have begun again. 

Gone were the days when we used to call each other, 

To chit chat and gossip about that boy or girl we saw pass by. 

Sending funny messages that made us laugh, and not cry. 

When we used to talk about that boy or girl who say they love us. 

When people thought there was more to us than friends.

 I remember how you used to get jealous, 

When you saw me stand with some other guy. 

With them, there was nothing serious. 

I'm sorry if i over reacted that day. 

Right now, i don't even get a beep from you, 

So even if i want to pick up the phone and call, 

I feel you just are not ready to talk. 

So i forget it. 

I don't know what has changed between us.

 I don't know what's happening to our friendship,

 I don't think a miss is as good as a mile, 

But one thing i know for sure is that i miss you so much. 

How i wish i could let you know about this.

 I really do miss you.

THIS DANCE

That night at the party as the music played,
And the words of love from the music filled the entire place.
I sat in a chair at the bar with a drink in my hand
Watching several couples dance to the tune and move to the beats of the song.
I kept imagining how nice it would feel to be in their shoes.
My mind went wild with thoughts about this night.

Then the song that turns me on and gets me dancing began to play.
 I gently tapped my feet and nodded to the tune.
 All of a sudden i felt a tap on my shoulder,
 And turned around right on time to find a young handsome gentleman
 He politely said the words that i had been waiting all night to hear
 "Can i have this dance?".
 The next minute, i was on my feet, close to him,
 Dancing and taking one step at a time.
With every step we took together, it kept on getting better.
Our eyes locked on to each other and the music being our guide,
We danced and thrilled the whole place.

It was a miracle finding someone like him.
The first time in a long while i felt a way i had never felt before.
No one could stop us from dancing,
Not the D.J,the M.C or any other person present,
Because our spirits were on higher grounds where destruction was certainly a crime.
Then the music ended, couples took their seats and the crowds clapped,
Yet still we continued to dance to our own music found only in our minds.
We came to a stop, only to realize that we were the only people standing.
He pulled me to the seat and asked to be excused.
That was it, he never came back.

Now I'm at home,
And i want so much to dance again with him.
But where could he be?
So can i have this dance?
And with whom would it be?
You,Him,or that same handsome guy, whose name i did not even ask?
 Can i have this dance?

COULD THIS BE LOVE?

Anytime we touch, 

Anytime we hug,

Anytime my lips meet yours,

And anytime we smile at each other, 

The bond becomes anew. 

It becomes stronger

And forever true 

And more fun than it used to be 

When we are apart, 

The urge to be with you is unbearable. 

I feel empty, and incomplete. 

As if I have lost the most vital piece of the puzzle of my life, 

which can only be made perfect with you in it. 

Because to me,t here's no such thing as complete without you

Should I say now that I'm in love?

THIS FEELING

This feeling is insane. 

Out of the normal.

 Maybe its magical.

 A minute away from you feels like a thousand years in an unknown planet.

 And when i see you smile, my whole world turns around.

This feeling is so immense, one that i have never felt before.

 Looking into your eyes, i see my future. 

A bright one at that. 

Where happiness prevails and no anger can penetrate. 

If we are not meant to be then why does my heart skip a beat whenever i see you. 

Why does the sound of your voice make a quick shiver run through my spine? 

And why does your presence tickle me till i burst out laughing.

I'm certain of this feeling,

 more certain than I've ever been in my entire life. 

This feeling, like a special flame that lightens up anytime i see you,

 Because i love you. 

This feeling I'm going to hold on tightly to and never let go.
