Untitled

I heard your voice in the stillness of the night,
As I haunt where it was coming,
I discerned that it was from nowhere.
I behold the likeness of your feature with a sneer outside the darkness.
And as I run to embrace you
I saw myself with no one near me.

I harkened you hum the music that captured my heart.
And as I sing with you,
I recognized a single voice, not yours but mine.

Tonight, I still can feel the
Tightness of your hug.
I can still distinguish the sweetness of your kiss
And the gentleness of your touch.
The different emotions of craving for the nights
of boundless sensuality never fades
and it’s always there…so alive.

I yelled your name repeatedly.
The echo from the emptiness of silence
Was the only answer I’ve got.
The frigid wind continues to strike.
That made me feel you’re around.
You allowed the wind whisper in my ears that you still love me.
But I was bewildered by the fact that you’re not around.

I received an impression of your passionate presence.
The tears that tumbled from my eyes,
And the quietness that superimpose my room
Made me realized that you no longer exist in this reality.
I know you are the most beloved gift I had received.
I admitted the truth that you’re in bliss with HIM in paradise.

I know you’re always close to me.
You’re just watching me and endlessly loving me.
I know you’re always listening.
I LOVE YOU!
You’re forever alive in me…
No one can ever put back the wonderful love you shared and gave me.
Cause you’re the only one in my heart!

Second Chance

Now we’re living our separate lives,
do I still have the right to call you mine?
Am I still permitted to call you honey?
or am I still allowed to show I care?

I know how foolish I am
for still loving you
after the strings are now unattached.
All the while I though it was the best thing.
but actually, it was the opposite.
WORST!!!
I MISS YOU!!!

Now it hurts me a lot
because we’re once sweethearts
but every time we cross roads we’re more than strangers.

We let misunderstandings and misinterpretations killed the relationship we once build.
Deep in my heart
I know that I still love you.
So I have to swallow my pride and ask you for a SECOND CHANCE
Because I realized that I can’t live without you.
and I don’t want to lose you!!!

Do I have to cry
and kneel in front of you?
Or repeatedly utter the words I LOVE YOU?
I hope you will again entrust the key of your heart to me.
if not, I am here knocking at your door,
sincerely saying the long longed words,
Honey, I STILL LOVE YOU!!!

If Ever

If ever there will come a time
that you’ll knock on my door,
I’ll open it without hesitation
and I’ll let you come in.

If ever there will be a second chance
I’ll let you feel the love I failed to show.
I will call you more often than everyday.
I want to hear your voice
I want to know if you sleep well
Or if you eat well.

If you ever you feel I’m cold, I’ll be sweeter.
I’ll care for you. I’ll keep you warm.
I’ll kiss you, I’ll hug you.
And I’ll never let you go.

If ever you’ll say I love you
I’ll never hesitate to answer I love you too.
I’ll say it not just once, twice or thrice but
A hundred times.

If ever you’ll hold my hands
I’ll hold yours tight. I’ll hold it firm until
You feel that I need you.

If ever you feel that we’re apart,
I’ll make a bridge.
I’ll open lines of communication
To be always near.

If ever you feel so alone,
I’ll be there for you…I’ll reach you.
We will be two bodies with one heart…
With one soul…

If ever we talk and you ask me how I feel?
I wont say nothing…I’ll tell you everything.
I’ll tell you my anger.
That I am hurt and I cried a lot.

If ever there will be silence,
I’ll break it by singing you a song…
A song that will help you realize that I am true…
That I really love you…
And I missed you a lot when you leave me…

If ever you’ll ask me where to go
I’ll tell you to bring me to a place
Where there is silence…
Where we can talk a lot about ourselves.
And see the rising and setting of the sun.

If ever we’ll see each other again
I’ll let you look into my eyes
And see the tears falling
I’ll let you feel that you hurt me
And losing you is so painful.

If ever we’ll love each other again,
And feel doubt about me,,,
I’ll say…trust me…
Have faith in me…

And if ever you’ll grant me this second time
I will love you more than before…
More than anything else.
More than myself!!!!
