IF...............THEN

If love is forever

So i always want to be with you whenever,

And everything seems so perfect

And the mere sight of you

Awakens emotions and feelings so true

Then why wait any longer

If i believe in you

And with every kiss on the lips you prove that its true

And the touch of your hands made my feelings grew

And stir up emotions we that seem to transfer

Then why deny what we feel

If next door to happiness there's sorrow

Where everything becomes so hollow

And things change in a short while

And what is, tends to become what used to be

Then why not remain with you behind closed doors instead.

If i trusted you as much as you do me

And the voice of the world made no sense to us

Cause all we could hear is each other's voice

And even in the darkest of  times we trusted still

Then why compromise what we share

If time waits for no man

But rather spins around like a yarn

Changing moods so rapidly from joy to pain

And bringing things we never expect

Then let's live within the moment

And enjoy as much as we can

Let us allow love to lead the way

So that we follow as we may.

Because at the end of it all

If its me, then it will forever be you.

SMILEY SLEEP

After a long days work

Tired and weak,

I get home and quickly rush to take a shower.

The type you take when you're late for work

Or when your bus is about to leave

Just so i could hop into my bed and sleep

Then you come into mind

And boom!!!

Sleep run into the woods

And smiles enter the mood.

Here i am smiling to myself.,

About things so trivial and petty.

Every thing becomes laughable

For reasons indescribable

It can go on and on,

As if like an exchange of baton.

Tossing from one side of my bed to the other

All these thoughts come rushing in

And my feelings, pushing me

But at the end of it all i love the happy moments

And so i end up smiling and giggling to myself

Just when i'm about to sleep.

SPECIAL GIFT OF FRIENDSHIP

Just in a short while, we've become closer than I ever thought

Maybe to me its strange because we believe in different things.

But as time went by, we learnt to appreciate our differences

I help you when i can and you do same if it's within your power

I've had friends over the time and I still do as time flies,

But it's always different when with you.

There's never a dull moment when you're around

Even if there is, you always find a way around it

I can never lie about whether I'm fine or not

Because you see right through me

You stick close like family,

And as always, smiley.

Your words of encouragement i can never miss,

Because to me, it always brings a touch of bliss.

I thank God I have a friend In you

And I will always want to show him,

How grateful I am for this special gift of friendship he lent me.

DEEP INSIDE

Hurt by love, struck by the pain.
The pain so intense that at the mere sight of you,
Hurtful thoughts clouding my mind.
Thoughts of loosing you and that of drifting far apart,
Because with each passing day, talking gets lesser
And silence takes over our lips.
I feel you hurt me real bad
And if this is the way its going to be now,
Then what i'm i to expect when distance comes in between?
Yeah, you have apologized, begged and promised
But what difference does it make if you keep hurting me
Because you know you could always apologize?
Then in the end, you are only taking me for granted.
Sure, i know you might think i'm over reacting
And taking this thing so far,
But its simply because of the way i feel.
I can't pretend not to be hurt, when deep inside i am.
I miss you!, I miss us!, Better still,i miss the person i fell in love with!
That person who loves me for me,
That person whom i can be myself around and not need to fake.
I know we are building this bond,
Thats why i want it to be the kind that would last.
That would be talked about by all, because what we share is true.
Trusting each other against all odds and boundaries.
I'm sorry if out of anger, i utered some foul words to you,
Its just because, i don't know how to react when i think i'm being taken for granted.
I love you dearly and i can't imagine going a day without you
Or sharing you with someone else.
I admit i'm insecure of myself at times,
I make little mistakes and even act like a child.
But i don't expect you to turn away from me,
Instead i want you to be able to hug me and say
Baby you're not fine even when i pretend all is well.........
