Her eyes shine like fires Bright and sparse on the plain Her body moves with grace Smooth and fluent like water Her smile gives me hope Where desperation used to be Her love radiates strongly Putting solar flares to shame She makes me happy Just knowing that we�re friends Through rough times and ease Frustrated, I want more, though More than she�s willing to offer And knowing this, I�m dying inside Falling to pieces inside a wall A wall that grows higher and stronger Day by day, hour by hour Shutting out humanity, and time Protecting myself against love Will this ever change?

The woman of my dreams I've not met or seen I know not her name I know not where she's from I know not where she is now But, I do know that someday Not too long from today We shall be together, happy We may be rich, we may be poor But love and content will prevail And our home will be ours And our family will be ours We will make others jealous We will make others envious For, they will see what we have The emotions and care we share And the love that is eternal I have been waiting forever Waiting to meet you, love you O where are you, My Love?

My heart opens up again Like a flower welcoming the rain Though, I cannot hide it from pain I do not control when or how My heart reacts to those around It does not matter how hard I try I will get hurt, and I may cry My eyes will issue a hard, long rain A strong storm will come this way But, I�ll be strong as ever before I�ll win this battle, though still at war Fighting against all odds and ends But, like always, my heart will mend And sit silently, awaiting new challenges As I wait, teetering on so many ledges Positive that another day will bring Another battle, but still I will sing Of days of old, purity and strength Yet, I grow tired, and finally at length I close my weary eyes and dream Long, lost histories, but still they seem Like long and true and total reality With a land so rich in utter fertility I roam without a care in the world As reality suddenly becomes unfurled And I hold in my hand absolute perfection Behold! I see in my reflection The beauty that is inside my soul Sharing my life, making me whole Come, my Sweet, the one I love The war is over, and we�ve finally won!

The most beautiful woman I�ve ever seen Came in that night, and sat down beside me It took all I had in me not to stare Crystal clear eyes, shoulder-length blonde hair We had a good conversation And it brought out my desperation To be loved long and true By a woman just like you I don�t believe in love at first sight Like in so many songs that they write But, I think we got along quite well And maybe somebody else could tell If sparks flew between us that night Talking to you just felt so right Only time can make us see If anything was meant to be After everything I�ve been through I can�t begin to explain to you This is the last thing I wanted That I am so attracted And drawn helplessly to you What can I possibly do? You�ve brought me a new hope When I thought my love life was over You light a fire in my heart The moment that I met you I tried so hard that night And no matter what I tried My thoughts kept returning to you

She swept me away Not refusing to stay She stole my heart Not just a small part Was a wonderful thing Prettiest girl I�d seen Came into my life Gave me reason to fight Her presence completed me Like the blossoms on a tree Death was too far away Music impossible to play By mere human hands Forget her? I can�t! Remember her? Forever! Wished for always together

Knew it wouldn�t be so That�s too long to go Without pain in life Tell me I�m not right No, you know the truth Existence isn�t that smooth It�s rough around the edges With many hidden ledges Careful where I walk I do not wish to fall Over the cliff of humanity Forgetting love and sensuality So, my heart, she broke With that lie she spoke But, I didn�t fall out of love It just disappeared like a dove

Into the dark, clear night This bird takes to flight To a land far from here And I cry a solitary tear In memory of her love She could blind the sun The beauty in her eyes Until the moment of lies All beauty disappeared Worse than I had feared Tore me apart inside Killed me! I died! Never to love the same Like I did those days When I was happy So, life goes on!

I watch the sun as it crests the horizon And I wonder to myself where night's gone Sitting on that old rickety porch-swing Talking with you from dusk until dawn Catching up on the past, what we've missed It was nice having a friendly conversation With one whom I haven't seen in years Remembering our history together, years ago Although we were so young those days We had fun, you and I, causing trouble Neither of us caring what would happen Only thinking about what to do the next day Didn't even cross our thoughts, the future But, teenagers are so na�ve, so innocent And worry-free, just living in the moment Amazing how we find ourselves right here and now Feeling the emotions coming back to life Like they never really left in the first place They've grown stronger, these feelings have Until now, I didn't realize how much you meant Couldn't have said how much I've missed you As I sit beside you, looking into those eyes They used to hold me with unseen powers Never forgot them, in all this time apart Is it another beginning? Are we to try again? We've both grown much since we parted ways Grown older, wiser, smarter, and lonelier And I've come to realize, that I still love you, more than ever So, as I wake you, sleeping soundly on my shoulder, I say "Will you be my wife?" I can see the answer in your eyes Without a single word spoken, we then become one soul.

Do they know who they are? Why should I care about them? It's a curse, I've decided No sizeable ego here, really But, I am better than many I care too much, sometimes That will be my final downfall Call it bad luck, a bane, or fate But, sometimes I hate it It causes me pain, torment Falling in love too quickly Getting hurt, just as fast Not able to let go of the past Not able to move into tomorrow But, I won't give up or give in I've fought so hard to be here Where I finally feel right Though, geographically wrong I am able to be myself, now But, the size of my heart That's grown every day of life Reminds me constantly that I'm alone Alone in a world of couples, pairs Some happy, some sad, all together Though, I'd rather be single and sad Than be unhappy in a relationship It's easier to make one happy Than it is to make two content Unfortunately, I still don't think To be with any who I would want That I am good enough for her And that keeps me from trying Because it makes me pessimistic And I don't take chances That I want to take, even try to For, my self-esteem is low And, that stops me from attempts To meet new people, make new friends But, the other side of the coin Says that I won't fall as fast If there is nobody around To fall in love with Makes perfect sense to me Why I am so sadly lonely Tonight, I feel sorry for myself Hey, I am allowed to at times And, I'll get over it tomorrow, or sooner Not to worry, this has to happen Just another fact of life And, as said before, it will pass
