Wait What
We just said goodbye
And I find myself already missing you
It's in the little things
The smile you just gave me
The warm hug we just shared
I find myself watching you walk away
Conflicted because only a schedule
Keeps us away from each other
I mean who came up with this thing
Called work - I mean why not give lovers an extra break.
Wait What?
Did I really just say that?
Okay now I am lost in my thoughts
But this moment seems so slow
Watching you walk away
Feels like the longest
moment of my life ...
And I find myself already missing you
It's in the little things
The smile you just gave me
The warm hug we just shared
I find myself watching you walk away
Conflicted because only a schedule
Keeps us away from each other
I mean who came up with this thing
Called work - I mean why not give lovers an extra break.
Wait What?
Did I really just say that?
Okay now I am lost in my thoughts
But this moment seems so slow
Watching you walk away
Feels like the longest
moment of my life ...

I Choose to
This life is a spiritual Journey
I choose to take it with you
I choose to walk with you
I choose to weather the storm with you
I choose to look at flowers with you
And enjoy their great fragrance
I choose to take this Journey with you
Meaning that even if you stumble
I will wait for you
I know that there are many people
one meets over a lifetime
Some people one gets to know
for a really long time
but is time not relative?
If so does this mean that
I have known you longer?
If this is the case ...
I choose to take it with you
I choose to walk with you
I choose to weather the storm with you
I choose to look at flowers with you
And enjoy their great fragrance
I choose to take this Journey with you
Meaning that even if you stumble
I will wait for you
I know that there are many people
one meets over a lifetime
Some people one gets to know
for a really long time
but is time not relative?
If so does this mean that
I have known you longer?
If this is the case ...

Cricket Cricket
Singing songs of love
Cricket Cricket
Waking others up
For they know not
That 'noise'
Is your deepest romance
That 'noise'
is your longing
That 'noise'
Is you calling upon
Your beloved
Cricket Cricket
Singing songs of love
Cricket Cricket
Waking others up
So that they can bare witness
To your declaration
To your public statement
As you tell the whole world
About your love

I Know I just met you
I know I just met you
But you feel so familiar
As Cheesy as this may sound
I feel like
I've known you my whole life
And honestly speaking
That's why
I have no words to say to you
I feel like we have shared
so many conversations
I feel as though I have
looked into your eyes a million times
Yet this is the first time our eyes lock.
How can this be?
I know I just met you
But the first hello
Felt like a welcome back
I know I just met you
But I feel as though
We have walked
a thousand paths...
But you feel so familiar
As Cheesy as this may sound
I feel like
I've known you my whole life
And honestly speaking
That's why
I have no words to say to you
I feel like we have shared
so many conversations
I feel as though I have
looked into your eyes a million times
Yet this is the first time our eyes lock.
How can this be?
I know I just met you
But the first hello
Felt like a welcome back
I know I just met you
But I feel as though
We have walked
a thousand paths...

He met with his Darkness
He sat in a dark room
Contemplating his darkness
His failures came over for a visit
His pain gave him a massage
And his chest opened way for hurt
He sat in a dark room
Contemplating his darkness
Because it was no apparant to him
That he has become a dark soul
He would wake up each day
With dark thoughts in his mind
He would look at the sky
and all he would see was grey
Even though he kept a brave face
Even though his smile
would light up the room
His eyes were full of darkness
He never noticed...
Contemplating his darkness
His failures came over for a visit
His pain gave him a massage
And his chest opened way for hurt
He sat in a dark room
Contemplating his darkness
Because it was no apparant to him
That he has become a dark soul
He would wake up each day
With dark thoughts in his mind
He would look at the sky
and all he would see was grey
Even though he kept a brave face
Even though his smile
would light up the room
His eyes were full of darkness
He never noticed...

Had He known What He knows now
Had he known what he knows now
he would not have opened up
Had he known that he would get hurt at a young age
he would have waited a bit longer
before entering loves territory
However if he knew the pain
He would have also known the joy
Meaning that he would
have tried harder to hold onto it
And worked harder on growing it.
Had he known what he knows now
He would have done some things sooner and with other things
he would have waited even longer
Had be known what he knows now
there are a few bridges he wouldn't...

Ten
How many Soul mates
does one meet in their life time?
Could be that person who broke your shell
and opened up your world to mew horizons?
Or maybe that person you met only once and then your life never felt the same again?
What about the friend whose growth seems to aligned to your own?
Who knows really?
However
Connections on a soul level are real,
because some people have the ability
To touch your soul
They move you and inspire you
Some destroy you
Only for your Soul to come back anew
Teaching...

Purpose from Above
I've been reborn in a million ways
I've lived through thousands of days
I've taken hundreds of paths
And kept tens of people close
All for a purpose from above
One Purpose and that's Love.
I've lived through thousands of days
I've taken hundreds of paths
And kept tens of people close
All for a purpose from above
One Purpose and that's Love.

Nine
There is no place to look for me
But in your deepest desires
No place to love me
But within your soul
No place to reach out to me
But within your thoughts
I am here
Dancing to the drum
Of your heartbeat
Seeking refuge
Within you because
there is no place to look for me
Except in your very being.
But in your deepest desires
No place to love me
But within your soul
No place to reach out to me
But within your thoughts
I am here
Dancing to the drum
Of your heartbeat
Seeking refuge
Within you because
there is no place to look for me
Except in your very being.

The Lie
Sometimes we tell lies to ourselves
In order to cover up our own insecurities, we tell these lies so that
our own failures can seem okay,
so that when others ask
we can give them an answer.
However deep down you know the truth,
you know that those times
you said you were okay,
the truth is you were hurting.
Sometimes you lie to yourself
because you no longer recognize yourself and you are afraid to admit it.
You lie because
you do not want to admit that
what you have gone through
has changed you. ...

The disappointment
We often choose the side of love
And then we love unconditionally
Especially when we have the love
Many dream of feeling
Especially when we are raised with love
Only to find that what many long for
Is a source of pain for many others
We often take the side of love
But sometimes this side
That has no conditions
Is the reason for our hurt
It is the reason why we watch others hurt
Watch others joining our circles
Knowing very well that it won't end well
Because we have chosen the sidd of the one we love
How this...
And then we love unconditionally

The Question
She had this burning question
and she knew that
it was time to ask him
Although he was good to her
Although he was always there
Although she got to know him
She still needed to know something
Something only he could answer
A Question that plagued her mind
So she waited until they met
Sitting side by side on a bench
but looking each other in the eyes
Then the words came out of her mouth:
'Why haven't you told me
that you love me?'
To which he signed,
Held her hand
and looked...
and she knew that
it was time to ask him
Although he was good to her
Although he was always there
Although she got to know him
She still needed to know something
Something only he could answer
A Question that plagued her mind
So she waited until they met
Sitting side by side on a bench
but looking each other in the eyes
Then the words came out of her mouth:
'Why haven't you told me
that you love me?'
To which he signed,
Held her hand
and looked...
