Sweet Dreams

Rest now honey,
knowing that I'll protect you

Lie down next to me,
knowing that I'll lie with you

Close your tired eyes,
knowing I'll be there to wake you up

Sleep tight baby,
knowing I'll kiss you even in your dreams

Goodnight my love,
rest assured, I will always stand by you

I Now Know...

What can fuel this passion?
if not love...
What leaves me speechless?
if not you...

I now know
what its like to be a river
flowing endlessly
in search of the sea

I now know
what its like to be the sea
travelling across the world
in search of land

I now know
what its like to be sand
always stepped on helplessly
waiting to be moved only by others

I now know
what its like to be a mountain
grand and magnificent
but, for the very same reason, cold and alone

I now know
what its like to be human
wishful and selfish
and stronger because of that

I now know
what its like to love
caring, sweet, playful and passionate
because of you, its so much more interesting

Who can fuel my love?
if not you...
Who can love you whole-heartedly?
if not me...

Picture This

The sun sets with a bright purple fade in the endless open sky. The moon starts to show signs of awakening as it glows a dim light. Listen to the birds as they escape into the darkness. Their wings flapping furiously to get back to a place they call home. Their voices fill the sky with a beautiful melody. The air comes to a thin cold; just a little colder than it was just minutes ago. The hairs on your skin stand tall to prepare for war against the wind, even though they know victory is not within sight. Watch closely as the leaves playfully fall from the trees; like a little child running in circles, forever unsure of when its about to hit the ground, only sure that it will. The moon lights up like a strong white flame in the night. The sea of stars start to come out of hiding, now that it is time for them to shine. It is that time of the night again, where hidden animals begin to make unmistakable music. The invisible frog plays the bass to the voice of stray cats mothering their high pitched kittens. Thats when the rhythm of barking dogs step in the symphony. And then there's the weird screech of an insect, which from the sounds of it, has to be of the cricket family; it's call is made up of short but loud intermissions, almost like an out-of-tune violin. By this time, darkness has consumed all things far and wide, with the moon as its only nemesis. But somehow, even with bare minimal sight of all things, it still remains a masterpiece. This picture... the Picture of Life, that is.

"If" is just Another Word

If I were a boy
I would hug you like my blanky
and eat you like sweet sweet candy

If I found courage
I would kiss you in public
even if I know you will give me a kick

If I knew shame
I would leave behind my giant ego
as long as you never let me go

If I had a life
you would be the centre of it all
just like the air in a ball

If I'm lost
you would be my direction
I love getting so much affection

If I ever had a home
you would definitely be in it
because home is only where you see fit

If I were a man
I'd look right into your eyes
tell you "I never want to say goodbye"

But then,
"if" is not an option
not when you're waiting for me just around the bend
I'll run to you with all my passion

Happy Valentine's Day

I want to say

when life doesn't go your way

you can always head my way

I want to say

when your medicine doesn't work

you can always count on me to take care of you

I want to say

when you're not sure of life

you can always be sure of me

I want to say

when you feel like you're alone

you can always call out my name

I want to say

when you have nowhere else to run

you can always run to me

I want to say

when your bed is cold

you can always lean on me

Laugh when you want to,

I'll laugh with you

and I'll even let you make fun of me

Cry when you need to,

I'll be your shoulder

I'll wipe those tears and hold you close

Run where you want to,

I'll run by your side

till we're grey and old

Fall when you have to,

I'll be sure to catch you

and I'll never let go

So, here's to my love

you are my purple cotton candy,

you are my sweet sweet dessert,

you are my honey bear,

you are my cute baby,

you are my bright beautiful moon,

you are my girlfriend,

you are my one and only love...

There's so much I want to say

There's so much I need to say...

But it is not yet time;

so for now, baby,

I just want you to know

just how lucky I am to have you by my side

all I ask is you stay by my side

till we're grey and old

Happy Valentine's Day!

I love you, honey..

For You (Angus & Julia Stone)

If I talk real slowly
If I try real hard
To make my point dear,
That you have my heart.
Here I go

I'll tell you,
what you already know.
Here I go.
I'll tell you,
what you already know.
If you love me,
with all of your heart.
If you love me,
I'll make you a star in my universe.
you'll never have to go to work.
you'll spend everyday,
shining your light my way.

If I talk real slowly
If I hold your hand
If you look real closely my love,
you might understand.
Here I go I'll tell you,
what you already know.
Here I go. I'll tell you,
what you already know.
If you love me,
with all that you are.
If you love me
I'll make you a star in my universe
you'll never have to go to work.
you'll spend everyday,
shining your light my way.
Here I go
I'll tell you,
what you already know.
Here I go.
I'll tell you,
what you already know.
If you love me,
with all of your heart.
If you love me,
I'll make you a star in my universe.
you'll never have to go to work.
you'll spend everyday,
shining your light my way.

Magic Words

What would you say
if I said I want you?
like a child wanting candy
like a girl wanting a new bag

What would you say
if I said I miss you?
like a polar bear misses ice
like a fish misses the sea

What would you say
if I said I love you?
like a boy who had just met a girl
like the moon loves the star

I would say it all
while holding your hand
and I would say it again
while kissing your lips

I would show it all
by holding you tight
I would show it again
by never letting go

I would do it all
just to hear you say...
I would do it forever
just so I can have those words

Say it to me now
and I will remember it forever
What I want most is to hear you say
It's as simple as one, two, three

We will always be together
We will always have each other;
We will never stop loving;
Till our hearts stop beating

Home

You can ask me how I fall
but I'll be the last to let you know
Cause you can only ever understand
when you're down here in the sand

There's no use for good feet
when you have nowhere to go
leave those boots behind
for someone with a place to call home

So lay down on your back
Look closely,
isn't life much brighter
when you can't see your shadow behind

Isn't it funny
just how hard it can be
to throw away something unwanted
Do you see the joke in it all?

Unbuckle those heavy boots
laced with tears of the past
throw down those glasses
scratched by the sands of time

I'll never know if I'm wrong
even more so when it's been this long
but then again, how could I ever know?
when this face is only just for show

What..?

What wakes you up in the morning?
What leaves you breathless?
What makes you come?
What makes you lean on me?

What makes green pierce so deep?
What makes a girl cry herself to sleep?
What makes this pain all so addicting?
What makes love all so exciting?

What drives me wild?
What keeps me acting like a child?
What grabs hold of my hands?
What makes me smile?

Romance Novel

I understand now what it feels like to be the moon on a cloudy night. Seemingly alone with nothing but thick dark clouds. You know the stars are right past the clouds but you're not sure. You have to just believe that the stars are there even if you can't see them. That's what trust feels like; having to believe in someone without real proof. And you are my moon, my love. I will forever remain by your side...I will forever be your star, even on dark cloudy nights. Trust in what you cannot see; trust in what you feel; trust in me; trust in my love; trust in your love for me.

Lets build a future together. Everyone wants power, money and happiness. I'm not greedy. I do not ask for happiness or money or power. I just want a lifetime with you. Lets live a future filled with me and you. I want you, even if we have tears or suffering; even when we feel lost and unsure; even if you feel you want to hit me... I will still want you by my side. I will still hold you close to me, honey. Because there is noone I'd rather cry with than you. So be my shoulder when I need you and the only tears I will make you shed are tears of joy.

You will forever be special. You might never truly understand what I mean but baby, I wish I could show you just how special you are to me. I don't want you to feel like you're the only girl in the world. I want you to know that you are my only girl. Your voice makes me speechless. Your smile makes me melt. Your laugh makes me jump. Your words make me listen. You make me yours. So stay with me... no matter what I say or how I say it. Just stay with me.

How can I say this all without being just a little melodramatic when our relationship is already set to be a romance novel. A book filled with many unknown experiences; we'll never know if it will have a sad ending. All I know is that we are in the middle of this love story; with you as my lover... Baby, isn't this a great book? I'd read it for sure... better yet, I'll write it...I'll write this romance novel just about the two of us.

I Miss You

I miss you without question
I miss your voice
when you tell me I love you
when you tell me I hate you
I miss your laugh
when I make fun of you
when you make fun of me
I miss the sound you make
when you just wake up
I'm not sure what sound that is
but it sounds like me when I wake up
just cuter and so much sweeter
I miss your shy voice
when I talk about holding you
when your parents are right behind you
I miss you so much
when you say I love you
without any reason whatsoever
I miss talking to you
when you put me to sleep
when I put you to sleep
its the best thing anyone has done for me
I miss you
everything about you
I want nothing less than
everything that is you...
