Payback Time Hey there, stranger I�m a ghost from your past Look a little bit closer and you�ll see That it�s Sonja that�s haunting you Remember the name? Do you recognize me? It�s been a long time But I haven�t forgotten I just want to make sure You haven�t either Hey there, stranger You�re mine! After all these years It�s finally payback time 05/06/2003 __________ The Mind vs. The Heart I give you my finger, you take my whole hand I give you my heart but still you don�t understand I give you all of me, but you take without giving I keep forgiving you, because you�re my guy, my reason for living Although I know you�re just using me I can�t say goodbye I can�t let you go Because there�s still a part of me That loves you so 04/28/2003 __________ Talking Session There�s so much I want to say But I don�t know where to start and how Please, help me! Say something! Make me cry! Anything to get me talking There�s so much I need to get off my chest Get me started and I�ll do the rest 05/17/2003 __________ Addicted To You Your eyes are as blue as the water In the Blue Lagoon Your hair is like gold in the sun and like silver in the light of the moon A kiss from your lips is like a drug Every time you kiss me I want more You�re a master in the art of love Whenever you touch me I can�t get enough I'm addicted to you 05/06/2003 __________ Insignificant Existence Sometimes I wish I could be more than I am today Sometimes I feel so small, so insignificant If only I was super-intelligent, incredibly beautiful or brave But I�m none of the above I�m just me Someone who sometimes wishes she could mean something to the world But she is who she is and that�s all she has to give In a world where only a few people know of her existence 03/10/2003 __________ Looking For You You don�t have to look far Just open your mind And let yourself in You�ll be surprised what you will find It�s so easy to do Just give yourself a chance Look inside yourself And find the real you 04/19/2003 __________ Believing In Myself Some say I�m crazy And maybe that�s true But as long as I believe in myself I believe in what I do Some say I�m weird And maybe they�re right But it takes guts to do what I do To confront my fears and fight Some say they don�t understand But that�s because they aren�t in my shoes It takes a little craziness, as a helping hand to make it through I do things my own way No matter what people say Believing in myself is what got me where I am today 03/31/2003 __________ Not Today It�s a mess inside Some order in this chaos is hard to find I�m trying to sort things out Trying to find a way to clear my mind It�s hard, so hard I don�t know where to begin It�s a mess, a chaos I�m wading through it carefully Trying not to trip over obstacles that are in the way I�ll have to face them sooner or later But not today Just not today 02/11/2003 __________ I Need Your Love Hold me, please, hold me I need you so much I can�t live without your love I can�t live without your touch Love me, please, love me I need your love so bad Especially in times of trouble Especially when I feel sad Stay with me, please, stay with me I want you here Listen to my heart speaking Saying it needs you near I love you, really love you I need you so much I can�t live without your love I can�t live without your touch 03/05/2003 __________ Tears and Raindrops I feel like crying and running away I can�t stay here another day Have to go far, far away The sound of raindrops falling Is the only sound I hear The weather is an echo of how I feel I�ve got to get out of this place There�s nothing left for me here When I step outside and close the door My tears mingle with the falling raindrops 03/10/2003 __________ Then There Is Your Smile I have lots of people around me But still I feel alone They�re *good* people *Interesting* people *Fun to be with* people But still I feel alone And then there�s you Quiet, lonely you You only talk when you feel like talking And you hardly ever smile But when you do My whole world lights up And I don�t feel so alone anymore 03/06/2003 __________ The Language We Speak You can not see But you can feel You can not hear But you can touch You can not speak But still you know Everything about me Words are not the language That we use when I�m with you You touch, I feel I touch, you feel Speaking our own language That�s what we do You can not see But you can feel You can not hear But you can touch You can not speak But still we know Everything about each other 04/19/2003 __________ Said and Done Please, don�t cry Don�t shed your tears for me I don�t deserve so many emotions Just let me go and let it be Please, let me go It�s better this way You will thank me for it later I really cannot stay Please, let�s say goodbye fast Just raise your hand and wave I�ll wave back then drive away Believe me, it�s for the best Please, don�t cry Don�t shed your tears for me Go back inside There�s nothing to see I�m gone It�s over Everything has been said and done Just let it be 06/02/2003 __________ In Silence When there are no more words to say what one feels Then don't speak at all When there are no more tears to cry Because they've all been shed Then cry on the inside For sometimes there are moments Where one can only mourn in silence 07/24/2003 __________ Why Do I Write About Love and Friendship? (My Question, My Answer) Why do I always write about love? Why do I always write about friendship? That's because I can�t get enough of it Interaction, eye-contact and touching Laughing, caring, sharing the pain Loving, holding and comforting All in the name of love or friendship Why do I always write about love and friendship? Because it bonds two people I like to make a whole out of two As lovers or very good friends We all want to have somebody in our lives Somebody, a lover or a friend Somebody who sees the real us Somebody who holds our hand Somebody who�ll never let us walk alone Somebody who's going to be that special someone who makes our life worth living That's why I always write about love That's why I always write about friendship Hoping my written words will make lonely people feel not so alone anymore June/July 2003 __________ Special Memories Hold on to the memories in your heart Treasure every one of them the best you can Only time can take away the pain of your loss But one day you'll remember the special moments that the two of you shared And you will be able to smile again 07/28/2003 __________ New! 12/26/2004 I Love You, Mom Hi mom, You have been on my mind a lot lately There was so much I wanted to show you There were so many things I wanted you to see You're not here anymore Has it really been three years? Regrets, I have so many If only�I think constantly But one thing has never changed In my heart I will carry you And take you with me on my journey through life I love you, mom 12/23/2004 __________ New! 12/26/2004 Feeling Love There are no bigger emotions than the ones I'm feeling now There are no bigger tears than the ones streaming down my face Tears of pure happiness My heart beats with immense joy There is no bigger love than the intense kind of love I feel for you today 09/16/2004 __________ Sonja's Storybook |
