Unchanging Love

I don't know why but every time I think about you, I cry.
Or am I just pretending the reason why.
I have you now but not completely,
I can hold you now but not tenderly.
I can kiss you oh so passionately
but your lips are not really meant for me.
I am happy I have you now
but there is a part of me that is in pain somehow.
My heart breaks every time I look back
to those moments that I should have grabbed.
What hurts the most is that I hold your heart
but I cannot call you mine
but I know I am the first to occupy that big part
right from the very start.
We can have the time to be together
but deep inside I know I'll  leave you later.
We can create memories of you and me,
but it is not for the world to see.
We can build our dreams for the future
but fulfilling it is what we cannot assure.
But what made me feel so secure
is that your love for me is pure.
I hold on to your word
that I am still part of your world.
The space for me in your heart
was never occupied by somebody
because it is always me
and forever it is meant for me.
These things ease the pain I feel
and trace in my face a smile that's real.
It doesn't matter if I can no longer
have you here with me,
what counts the most and makes
me feel glad is that after all those years
you still long for me
because you still love me.
These are enough reasons for me
to move forward happily.
We can always look back at yesterday
and we can surely treasure
whatever memories we can have today.
God has a very good reason
why He allows us to meet in any season.
I trust your word…I trust His will…
Never give up…That is our zeal.
There will be a special time for you and me.
Not now… not this time…Let it be.
God’s plan for us will be much better than today,
for it will surely be in a happier and lovelier way
called God’s way.
We have endured many years,
and we will still endure even
for many more years.
For the moment, let us live our life
the way it is…away from anger
and distant from strife.

Remember this always...
If it will take us several more years
or even a lifetime,
one thing will always remain.
The love in our hearts will never fade
And the way we feel will never change.
Because we know that even from this very moment
You still have Me
and I still have YOU.

I wish you a happy and good life ahead....

Because you are not mine

I’ve been wanting to hold your hands,
feel your embrace,
and kiss your lips
to sense the nearness of you,
but certainly, I cannot do it,
because you are not mine.

I’ve been wanting to say I care,
utter I miss you,
and whisper I love you,
to put into words the way I feel,
but I cannot convey it,
because you are not mine.

I’ve been wanting to show you
that you are my life,
my world revolves around you,
and each day you are in my heart and mind
but I cannot display it
because you are not mine.

I’ve been wanting to walk by your side,
dream about you,
and spend the whole day
of just being with you,
to make you feel how much I care,
but it is impossible
because you are not mine.

I’ve been wanting to say
I want you,
I need you,
and I Love you.

But these are words are left unspoken
because I do not have the right
to say it because you are not mine.

I’ve been wanting you to feel
the beat of my heart,
that part of it is for you
because you alone is enough reason
for me to smile,
to let you know how you complete me.

But all of these will always be
something that will only be in my mind
and will be kept in my heart
all because I have no right to call you mine.
